Hey Guys, I was registered for today's exam but was too sick to take it.🙁

Hope you don't mind letting me know:

Which section was the hardest?
&
Was it like the AAMC CBTs online?
(I've been hearing that the new exam passages are much longer)

Any other comments?

Thanks and best of luck on your scores.

hmmm, I don't remember a meterorite passage????😕

Im not 100% sure if we all had the same tests then because many people have responded the same thing saying that different tests mightve been given.

The more I think about this exam, the worse I think I did. I wish I had canceled.

ps: am i the only one here who thought it was straightforward, maybe even easier than practice tests? i just treated the passages like verbal passages and easily found the answers tucked away between the numbers.
vr: expected difficulty. no wordy passages, or at least i found my passages to be science based, so i just treated my verbal section like ps.
wr: i didn't practice a single essay beforehand, maybe i should have, the two essay cues were ones i saw as "practice" cues in some test book
bs: a lot of passage based answers, the stand alone questions were pretty much everywhere

Get outta here! This thread is only for us to b*tch about how hard it was!! 😛

oh, i didn't mean to say it was an easy test. i still have my doubts, and it was a tough test.

but i think the feedback i would give to other people is learn how to interpret/analyze the passages they give you. i think the test is half learnt knowledge, and half learning how to take the test the way they want you to
