Congrats! How did you score on achiever and topscore?

 

[rchuloholla]

i didn't take acheiver
but for topscore:

#1 bio 26 chem 17 orgo 17 pat 19 QR 18 RC 20
#2 bio 14 chem 16 orgo 18 pat 21 QR 17 RC 20
#3 bio 16 chem 19 orgo 17 didn't take pat qr or rc third time

i should have takin achiever... cuz the questions on all 3 sections of topscore were similar and misleading bout the content of the test..

Hello,

CONGRATS YOU HAVE AN ABOVE AVERAGE SCORE!!!! 👍

Where is your Bio score??


What did you mainly use to study?? Can you tell us a bit about your road to these scores?? 😕


Mel 😀 😀

What do you mean by similar and misleading?

Well topscore kinda just concentrated on taxonomy/ecology and stuff on the bottom of the list ada gave in bio.. but didnt cover too much on like physilogy/endocrine and stuff like that. do not rely solely to topscore for practice cuz it only gives you practice on certain topics only not ALL. I dunno how achiever or destroyer is.. but if i had the time.. i would have really gone through those

oh i forgot to put.. bio was 18 chem 19 and orgo 23 😀

in response to a couple of PM's.. i think it's better i write it to the sdn family so we all can benefit 😎 (and a clarification to my previous message bout topscore...)

well organic chemistry was pretty str8forward, if u have topscore..with the software came a pdf with an outline w/ all the possible topics that come in the organic chemistry and chemistry section. Just make sure u can understand all those topics.. it's pretty basic compared to the organic chemistry course... the DAT the material learned in orgo class in college is WAY more than what u need for the dat and certainly u don't need it. there are only a couple of dozen of reactions u should know how works.. and belive me it's not too much. and topscore exams did a decent job on it (although I said not to rely solely on topscore.. u can rely on top score for organic chemistry and chemistry..)

as for the biology... 🙄 i'm quite religious so what i did was everytime I guessed on a question I just closed my eyes for a second or 2 and prayed lol
it has physiology that topscore failed to cover so don't fall into just understanding topscore. CUZ IT'S NOT ENOUGH!!!!!! 👎
well i really tried to remember the specific questions.. but tell u the truth lol i can't remember any..just remember one question where tehre were segmented and joint appendicies or something and we had to classifiy it.. but dont remember the detail.

but one other thing i noticed was that plants were on it.. quite a few questions which hurt me cuz i didn't pay attention to them when studying cuz i read there isn't many plant questions BUT THERE IS!!!!.. so don't ignore the plants!!!!

and the PAT.. don't panic.. first instinct is usally the right answer

the RC.. topscore was bull ****... too easy.. but the real RC is similar but there are some things u gotta process some of the info from the passages..

and QR..dont waste time on one problem.. i ran out of time and didn't get to do teh last problem which was cake!!!!!! don't dwell on the sin cos tan stuff from topscore cuz it's nto that complicated.. just kno the basics and how to move from one to the other.. they had simple fractions which made common right triangles... so just remember sohcahtoa and the sec csc. and the relationships like sin^2 plus cos^2 equals 1, and the other 2 (forgot them already) 🙄 with the tan sec cot csc and 1's lol and u'll be fine.

good luck on ur test!!!

Hm... I've only taken the first topscore practice test and don't recall seeing any taxonomy/ecology on it. I could be mistaken though.

Nice scores and congrats!
