First off, I would like to thank God for granting me success, without him, I would surely be lost. Secondly, I wanna thank all the peeps here on SDN, you guys are all awesome and I wish success for every single one of you!
So the break down,
I started studying May 16th, the day after my finals ended. I took the Kaplan course to give me some sort of structure to my studying. Initially I was like wow Kaplan is awesome, then I was introduced to SDN and realized that Kaplan is not that best thing out there, especially their PAT!
SO during the first month in which I took the kaplan class, I studied 6 days a week, 3-5 hours a day. Then when the course ended, I started studying 8-11 hours a day 7 days a week. That was torture, but I knew it had to be done. I missed weddings, hangouts, and basically everything that makes summer summer, but alhumdullillah (thank God), it all paid off.
Disclaimer: These scores are not as good as the the 25's and 30's people have posted, but I'm happy

To give hope to anyone struggling through their studying, I did not receive these grades in any practice test I took. All my scores for the Kaplan practice tests sucked and made me super nervous.
Practice Test:
Bio/Gchem/Ochem/RC/QR/TS/PAT/AA
Final: 17/17/19/20/16/18/20/18
Test 1: 17/19/17/22/19/18/21/19
Test 2: 17/18/14/19/16/16/20/17
SO as you can tell, I would get owned from these practice exams, and I took practice exam 2 last week, and got a 14 in Orgo!!!!!!!!!!! I was like wtf??? But alhumdullillah on the real exam, I pulled a 21. SO everyone keep your head up and if I can do well, then I know anyone can do well.
I have a GPA of a 3.4, its kind of on the low side, but I'm hoping I can get a few interviews God-willing ( I applied to 20 schools). I got tons of EC's and have 75 hours of shadowing a dentist.
Good luck to everyone out there and may God be with you!!
