Hi everyone,

I just took the Kaplan Diagnostic Test and got an AA of 17, should I expect great improvement from this score if I plan to take the test in 10 weeks. I have yet to review but I plan to study around 3 hours a day for the next 10 weeks and 6 hours a day on the weekends. I did pretty poorly on Ochem-12 and the PAT-15. If you guys have any advice that would be appreciated.

Thanks

AA 23 to a 26 (QR gave me a big boost on the diagnostic)
TS 17 to a 29
PAT 17 to a 19
RC 21 to a 24

BIO 15 to a 25
CHEM 17 to a 27
ORGO 18 to a 27

QR 30 to a 28 (might have been b/c of scaling, it was still 100th percentile)

Took the diagnostic early Feb and the DAT mid June.

I would probably say 2 points on that AA. Of more concern is that PAT score because Kaplan's PAT section is notably easier than that of the real thing.

I just did all the practice tests + quizzes online that Kaplan provided. I also read all the chapters in the book. I spent one full day on each science in that last weekend before the test.

Oh and I probably got lucky and got nice questions. Though I did skip 6 Bio questions, I do remember that. I came back to them later on. I guess I got at least 5 of them right.
