What ever you do don't walk out. I almost left two times during the sci section. The bio had no cell, no neuro, no endocrine, nothing. It was mostly ecol and evol bio. The PAT was very much like Kaplan and Top Score. The Reading comp passages were easier (short paragraphs) than Kaplan's. The quantitative was basic algebra and arith with a few trig and gmtry questions. I did my best to focus on moving at a steady pace through each section. I got through the science section and forgot about what I thought was a poor performance and I moved forward. What I recomend is with 10 min left in each section, take the time to put "A" for every answer and then return to where you left off and answer questions until time runs out. I made it through the sci section and PAT while fell 5 questions short in both the RC and Quant. Eat hard boiled eggs and blue berries the morning of the exam and go for a quick walk or run to get your brain going. Take a snack and what ever you do don't walk out! I felt as if I had failed and had wasted my money applying and then my scores appeared on the screen.
AA 20 86.1%
PA 20 88.2%
QR 18 74.6%
RC 19 51.5%
B 19 78.6%
C 20 80.8%
OC 23 93.9%
TS 20 86.9%
My best Kaplan score was 17/23 so what they say about your sci score going up three and you PAT going down 3 is fairly accurate.
Have confidence in your ability. You have studied hard and will do well.
Best of luck!
