Bio 19
GChem 21
OChem 20
Pat 18
RC 16
QR 16
TS 20
AA 18

i really need to know if i should retake?? im not applying this year so i do have another year to build up ECs and shadowing... the only reason im considering a retake is coz of the AA... what do u guys think?
also.. if you have any questions, id be happy to answer u...
just one piece of advice to those of u still preparing... make sure u wear a sweatshirt and socks coz the center (atleast the one i went to) was freezing by the time i got back from my break!!
thank u in advance for ur help!!

Good Job! I just finished too... I went to the testing center the day before to ask questions and also to test out the temperature. I still brought a long sleeve shirt today just incase they had the ac on but it was perfect so I did not use it... Anyways congrats... Talks to some schools that you want to attend and see what they think. If they say retake then I would retake.

Apply this year....dont wait...you will never get a 30 trust me. No one ever will.

definately retake it... not entirely because of the 18AA, but more so because of the two 16's you got. You have another year, so no need to sweat it.

Definitely retake. All your other scores are good, except RC and QR. Since you're not applying this year, why not retake the exam so that you can improve these two scores. That way you'll know for sure that you're gonna get in, and you don't have to take any chances!

With AA16, I would suggest you to retake and apply for next cycle.
