So Im not applying until next summer, but decided to go ahead and take it to get it out of the way.... or in case i needed to retake... so the scores:

PAT 19
QR 18
RC 19
Bio 22
GC 18
OC 29
TS 22
AA 21


so im pretty happy with my scores... i wanted atleast an 18 in every section and atleast a 20 AA. i dont know what happened in gen chem... i was getting atleast 20s on my practice test.... also, in gen chem i got the alpha emission problem people have talked about before where the numbers and symbols dont really make any sense and it did kind of throw me off. as far as bio.... it was a lot of reasoning and i dont feel like a lot that i studied helped at all, i was really surprised i did this well. Im not exactly sure what happened in RC either, but its not too bad... and as far as qr... ive never gotten less than an A in any math class, but timing is such an issue... if you dont get the right answer the first time there is not time to retry you just have to guess.

study materials- kaplan blue book, topscore, exam krackers, cliffs ap bio

overall im happy with my scores and sooooooo glad its over!!!!

Nice scores.

Just a thought, since you are applying next year anyways. If you feel like you can do better, the ADA may let you retake the test due to that alpha emission problem.

I know if I were in your shoes, and had a chance for a free retake, then I would probably go for it.

Those scores are not bad at all, but their not so groundbreaking that you can't do better, IMHO.

Edit to add: You know I just noticed your Ochem... Bio too. A retake would be a tough call actually.... those are hard to beat.
