After reading a buncha posts and websites, I'm unsure as to whether I should retest especially if it brings some scores down. My first time I got:

PAT: 15 :S I know, I had 10 mins left w/ 30 ?s to go so I answered n hit next as fast as possible.
QR: 22
RC: 22
Bio: 16
GC: 17
OC: 15 (ran out of time again, guessed n nexted for at least 15)
TS: 16
AA: 18

Advice?
Any and all is appreciated. I only had 3 weeks to study so I can't really complain about what I got

yeah...i think a retake would be a good choice

hey if you dont mind me asking why did you run out of time? did you think the test wasnt representative from what the study materials covereD?

I was relatively unprepared as I had to have to my 2nd major back surgery in a year (I'm 22) and I had a lot of taxonomy I hadn't studied and spent too much time in bio in general. Didn't use chads as a resource ( as I will this time) hence my low chem scores, on top of running out of time. PAT they must've given me the hardest one I'd seen in awhile, had to rush through cube counting and pattern folding. Got the info but didnt get my timing down as I only had 3 real weeks to study. Didn't study at all for QR and RC so I was pumped about those I just know my PAT was miserable

Figured a retake is inevitable, especially since my cGPA is 3.2 on a very upward trend. Had a 3.9 freshman year then had a little too much fun soph/junior year haha.

Isn't that a downward trend?

Have you spoken to your doctor about possible restrictions that your back problems might give you? Almost every dentist I have spoken to has developed back pain (ranging in severity). Have you ever thought about if yours would worsen, since you're predisposed?
