Alright, time to finally post. I've been lurking on this thread ever since I decided to write on this date. So here goes:
PS- calc heavy. That being said, I actually had a physics equation sheet that I made 3 weeks prior to the test that included roughly 50 equations. Some equations were just switched around to make calculation easier or so I wouldn't have to derive them on test day. I would rewrite this equation sheet from memory everyday for 2 weeks. THIS HELPED TREMENDOUSLY on test day. There were countless calculations that required 2 or 3 equations step by step to get to the right answer. I'm pretty sure if I didn't have that sheet in front of me, I would've wasted much more time. Also, TBR TBR TBR everything for physics. Especially kinematics. Their shortcuts help tons in terms of saving time. Also, I usually finished PS sections with 8 minutes to spare, and though this time I had finished by then, I completely blew a passage since I kept recalculating something wrong. BUT, since I had that remaining time, I definitely went back to that passage, saw the huge mistake I had made, and ended up changing all the answers to that passage and am pretty sure I go them right. LESSON: MANAGE YOUR TIME WISELY DURING THE PS SECTION. I actually would write 70, 63, 56, 49, 42, 35, 27 , 14, 7 on the corner of my page and wrote 1-10 next to it. Basically, I would make sure that I was following that timeline. Granted, the independent questions didn't always take me 7 minutes, and some passages took longer than 8. But, I promise if you follow this guideline, you'll become really good with your time.
VR- This test was actually a retake for me. Last test, I got a 10 and really needed to focus on sciences. I took AAMC 10 for the first time yesterday and scored an 11. I thought this verbal was slightly harder than AAMC 10. But you just never know.
BS- Ya, tough. But honestly I think TBR Biology does a great job of showing you weird topics that could show up. It was hard, but nothing too unexpected. I was just annoyed with the amount of ochem, but probably because I chose to not focus so much of my time on studying it.
Overall, I think I might have seriously murdered that PS section. I came home and checked my answers that I was unsure of and I got them right. Also, if I left that section without going back and changing those answers to that passage, I'm sure I would've lost precious points. Here's to waiting a month!!
