I'm glad it is finally over! I just came home.. I thought it wasn't that bad and I was a bit disappointed when I saw my scores..
PAT 19
QR 17 🙁
RC 21
Bio 22
GChem 20
OChem 19
TS 20
AA 20
I'm just applying to one school (my state school) so I hope these scores are good enough.. My GPA is 3.8 acc and 3.7 in science.. Do you think I have a good chance?? I'm applying to U of Nebraska and their ave GPA is really high!
For studying I used Kaplan, Schaums, Barrons (only for PAT), and Topscore. I read all books in like a month.. probably 2 hours or so a day.. I was being really lazy! Then I studied like crazy for 2 weeks.. I did all Kaplan Subj Test (Thank you lifeisgood!) and took the topscore tests..
For the test now..
PAT - I actually thought it was easier than topscore, but I dunno why I didn't do as good because I was averaging 21 in topscore 🙁
QR - My worst score! I knew it was my weakness and I didn't study enough for it.. Just the last 2 days.. So if you are weak on it, just try to practice to do them fast and without freaking out.. I didn't see anything out of the blue. I got lots of word problems.. not much algebra! which is the only thing that I know 100%.. lol.. I think the level of difficulty is about topscore..
RC - I got some mg, herbs, and cell stuff readings.. not that bad, but definitely different than topscore and kaplan, not word for word at all.. you actually had to think a little instead of just going searching for the answer.. It wasn't that bad and english is my second language!
Bio - I didn't thought it was that bad, but the problem is that they can ask anything so that's why it is hard because you can memorize so much.. I got the lion question, but I guessed.. and I didn't get much plants or taxonomy.. I got more genetics I think..
Gchem - Well I'm actually happy with it because two weeks ago I was getting 16 in it.. so I studied it the most and I'm glad it paid off.. Definitely easier than the subject test, but if you understand those it is good practice..
Orgo Chem - I ran out of time so that is why it is so low.. I actually thought I was going to do better on it.. but oh well, I don't think it was that bad, just the basic stuff.. but I just got like 20 mins so I was going really fast..
That's it!
I think the main thing is to remain calm, I was so nervous at first.. My tummy was hurting and my pulse was going crazy.. But once I started I think it went okay.. and don't drink anything! I drank a little of Gatorade during my break and I had to go the bathroom during PAT..
I'm going to go and celebrate now! good luck to everyone taking it and thank you everyone that helped me with questions!!
