With a full time job (computer programmer), I couldn't study as much as I wanted. Maybe I should have taken a nice long vacation to study for it.

I went to bed at 10 last night and woke up at 3 AM. And I tried to go back to sleep by counting sheeps but didn't work. So I just watched TV.

**Please do not do this. Try to get good night sleep. I couldn't concentrate 100% on the questions during the test.

I got to the testing center around 7 and my test was scheduled at 8 but they still let me take it.

First impression of the test... WTF! No other word can describe it.

Biology was crazy. I've read Kaplan BB and Cliff AP many many many times but I've seen some questions (maybe like 6 or 7) that I've never seen before. I guess that's why people say this section is "random."

Chemistry - I thought I did pretty well (thinking around 23) but I guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was or at least I used to be 🙂

OCHEM - Same thing as chemistry. Althought I've only taken Org Chem 1 and need to take Org Chem II next semester, I went over the Destroyer thouroughly. There were like 2 questions that I wasn't sure about but it turned out to be 20 not something higher.

PAT - I did my friend's CDP and was scoring around 21. The real test was a lot easier for me. I had like 15 mins left so I just stared at the monitor and took a short brain break.

RC - I didn't really study for this. I just took 3 Achiever tests and scored 18/18/21. I just read real fast and try to search for stuff.

QR - By this time I was feeling exhausted and I just wanted to give up.
I used to score around 21+ on my practice tests but I just couldn't think anymore. Only missed like 3 questions on my SAT math so I was expecting something better but the moment I said f' it.. That was the end of it. People DON'T GIVE UP LIKE ME!

I'm not happy with my science scores at all, especially Chem and Ochem because I was scoring around 22's on Topscore and 20's on Achiever.

I want to wish everyone good luck and last but not least, I would like to thank everyone for answering my questions.

scores are pretty good, i wouldn't be too unhappy with those at all! good work!
 
Your scores are above the average scores of most schools. your GPA is above average. You have a lot of experience (comp program) that will set you apart. You should be swell 🙂
