Alright guys, so I just took my final full length practice test today (Kaplan Full Length Practice Test 3) and did great on Bio (22) but for some crazy reason absolutely bombed OC and GC making scores I did on my midterm!!! I did make some stupid mistakes and can't believe my scores... This has killed my confidence as my test is on Saturday morning. I have been making 18 TS on all my practice tests until this one (I got a 17 but only cause bio was so high). Has anyone had this happen to them? Do I still have a shot at 20 TS??? I don't mean to be annoying... I'm just freaking myself out and lost a lot of confidence after taking this test this morning.
 
Hmmm that's kinda low considering Kaplan is supposed to be easy. Why not postpone the test and study a little more.

The same thing happened to me on the same kaplan test! I took it 4 or 5 days before my exam, bombed it... I think I got something like 15 in GC and OC, and was freaking out as well. I tried to move on examining my errors and kept and on reviewing. I ended up with a 20TS on the real thing.
 
Thanks Dentite99... Honestly, the mistakes I made were STUPID and over really easy concepts that I just missed... They just all came at the wrong time. Haha. I saw you made a 20 TS on the real thing. If you don't mind me asking, how were your TS averages on all your practice tests?
 
I just checked by visiting my kaplan site (kind of scary seeing it again bcs. it's been a while since I checked out their hot "science concept of the day") anyways for TS i had for Final/Midterm/T1/T2/T3 :20/19/22/19/16.
What other materials are you using? for me personally destroyer helped alot.
 
Don't worry, I just took the it today, and the Ochem and Gen Chem were REALLY straight forward and simple. It's the rest you have to worry about- so if you're doing well in Bio, that's terrific.

After the test, I felt so stupid for rescheduling so many times- specifically for the Chems. Just man up and take it, you'll do fine I promise.
 
I would recommend you go over Destroyer Bio slowly and make sure you understand those concepts.

Also, keep maintaining your strengths and remember your mistakes. Don't repeat your mistakes again!!!

Study hard, Good luck on the test day, and God bless you!!!😉

Don't postpone.

I thought the world had ended when I got a 14TS, 16AA on my last practice test (a day before the test) and I ended up with an 18TS, 19AA on the real thing.

For me, the fact that it was the real thing really helped me slow down, concentrate, and take it seriously.
 
I wouldnt worry too much, same exact thing happened to me and it turned out okay for me but that was just my experience, I really bombed the OC section of my topscore but I ended scoring a 20 two days later on the real DAT.
 
Similar thing happened to me... it seems like Kaplan Full Length Practice 3 was a lot harder than the midterm and Full Length 1 and 2... Maybe psychological?
 
holy crap thank god it's not just me. i finished kaplan practice test 3 just now and although i got 26 bio, i got 17 g-chem and 14 o-chem. 14!! that really just freaked me out, especially since i've been getting 19's to 23 on first two topscore and kaplan practice tests. you should be fine though. good luck. now i gotta go check wtf's up with this third test.
 
yeah, my sciences on kaplan have been hovering in the 17-19 range, with one 23 in ochem on one of the tests. this is not where i want to be, esp. since my exam is in a week!!! i don't feel ready at all, ahhhhhhhh

No one can tell you whether or not you have a shot at a TS of 20+, because no one here knows how well you have studied except yourself! Furthermore, no one knows what would be on your test. So, stop freaking out and try to study some more instead, so that you won't repeat those stupid mistakes on the real exam!
Good luck👍
 
Don't lose your confidence because of the practice tests!!! I bombed on the bio of the last Topscore practice test (which I took two days before the test). I almost lost my confidence too, but I was like whatever. I was able to learn more stuff from mistakes that I had made. Good luck! 👍
 
omgggggggggggg! 😕 i just took that kaplan test right now too and my test is in 2 days!! omggg!! i got a freaking 16! 😱 the ochem killled me! ive never gotten that low in ochem before everrrrrrr!! i already moved my test back like twice sooo i cant change it again and im freeeeeekng out now..that was my last test too so now i cant even test myself again to see if it was just that test that was a bad one or if i really should move my test back! i feel like no matter how much i study i end up screwing up in a section and it brings down how good i do in the others🙁
