Hey guys,
First I want to say THANK YOU to everyone here. All the advice/help/practice scores/tips and everything was invaluable.
Here are my scores from today:
PAT: 21 (92.2)
QR: 22 (95.7)
RC: 21 (84.5) PIANO!
Bio: 24 (98.7)
GC: 30 (100.0)
OC: 30 (100.0)
TS: 28 (99.9)
AA: 25 (99.9)
I'll slowly work on a breakdown, but basically I started studying in the winter thinking I could take it during the semester but that wasn't going to work out so I postponed it. Real studying started after I graduated so I've been studying for 6 weeks interrupted by a week in miami =p.
I can't believe I did so well in the sciences. I got freaked out by the piano passage that came up as my first one so I skipped it at first to do the other ones.
Breakdown:
PAT (21): This is one score I wish was higher, but oh well.
CDP is great. That's really all you need. The DAT is a little harder but only by a little. Achiever is maybe more on par, but I think a little harder and really frustrating for me. A lot of the questions were really easy, so easy i thought i was being ******ed, some were pretty difficult. I avg'd 23ish on PAT.
QR (22): I didn't really study that much for this section. I would like to have studied more for it. I didn't get any p-value questions (thank god). I just did the math problems in the destroyer book and had practice from the various practices tests I did. I probably averaged around 22ish on practice tests.
RC (21): I practiced with CDR mostly. I think it was really helpful. I also used ViciViper's technique (sort of). This section just takes practice. The first thing I saw when I opened this section was THE PIANO, and I got super scared. I just skipped it and did the other 2 passages first. They were easy, I think easier than CDR. The Piano passage wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be but was definitely hard. It's questions are like Achiever but I actually think Achiever passages are more difficult. I averaged 23 on CDR and 18/19 on Achiever.
Bio (24): This section is easy for the most part. But I did get a few that I had to sort of made educated guesses at and one I had no idea. Cliffs AP is a good resource for this. Destroyer is good too.
Gchem (30): Super easy compared to any other practice test.
Ochem (30): Same as above.
Destroyer/Chad's are basically all you need for chemistries.
One thing I do want to say is that Achiever is stupid hard in sciences. I was getting like 17TS so.. yea. But its good to practice taking tests none the less. Feel free to ask any questions, I want to give back to this community in any way I can.
Stats: 3.9 overall GPA/3.9 Science GPA. I don't know what other "stats" there are... but I really want to go to UCLA. Hopefully it works out!
Thanks!!
