Hi all!

Just got done with taking the 2007 ada.

Here's how I did:

Bio (22): 37/40 (come on 3 wrong 22?!)
Chem (25): 29/30 (again, 1 wrong...5 points down really?)
Orgo (26): 29/30 (the one I got wrong asked for the conjugate acid..I did conjugate base 🙁 )
PAT (18): this beyond upset me. I got 20-23 on BC so far, and the images were SOOO unclear. There were like 5 questions that I just had my jaw dropped on why I put that answer down...but okay. i know I can get 19+)
RC (17): I had no idea this was out of 17 questions, which freaked me out and I panicked when time ran out.
QR (22): 33/40

My experience: The sciences were pretty straightforward to be honest. Orgo was INCREDIBLY easy.
RC..yeah. PAT...yeah (come on though, you cant have images looking like that!). QR seemed easy too.

PLEASE, PLEASE tell me that the PAT on the actual exam has clearer images, because I felt a lot of the keyholes, and some TFE were blurry.

I mean, except for RC, I'd be happy with my scores. I seem to be doing well on practice exams for the sciences, but always room to improve!

How does this look? I know people have said 2007 is easier than the actual exam, and the 2009 is harder. With 3 weeks left, I know I can improve. I will take the 2009 in 2 weeks or less, and in between then, just keep reviewing and doing some practice problems/ exams.

Feedback?

Thanks in advance!

I heard 2007 is becoming more and more outdated so the scores arent as representative. 2009 should be a little more representative but I don't think you should worry.

I got a 23 GC, 25 OC on the 2007 and got a 20 GC, 21 OC on the real if that helps at all. It's definitely much easier than the real one.

Nice nice. Yeah I was like...wow this is pretty easy. I almost regret taking it. I felt like a lot of material was left out i.e lab techniques, more conceptual questions, more genetics, and up to date bio info.

How does the 2009 compare with the actual test? Is it close to the actual exam (and is a good amt of info covered)?

The 2009 is definitely more representative and accurate. I should've recorded them but I'm pretty sure I got a 18 on GC and 19 on OC for the 2009 and then my real scores above. Also I got a 18 for bio on the 2009 and a 19 for bio on the real.

Same goes for PAT too, I thought they were very similar. I didn't do the RC/QR for that one though.

Hmm ok! Thanks! Was the PAT on the actual exam more clear? The 2007 one seemed very blurry/ fuzzy for TFE/ Keys

Yea definitely, the clarity and sharpness of everything was just like bootcamp if you have that.

Ohhh thank goodness!! Was the 2009 clearer as well?

Yup I have the print version of the 2009 and it was just as clear as bootcamp. 2007 must've been scanned in or something by an older scanner.

agreed. I think test takers are doing more to prepare so they've made the tests overall more challenging so they can still have their curve
