I have been studying for a LONG time 5 + months (during school, and then hardcore for 2 months in summer).
Orgo 19
I got an A in my orgo class so I knew the stuff pretty well when I first started, so I really didn't study this as much. But as the months went by, I began forgetting stuff, so I really didn't devote as much time as I should have. This is an high yield grade. Spend time on it this. I used Kaplan and destroyer. – destroyer was pretty good on this subject
Bio 20
I spent waaaaaay too much time on this subject. Its really easy to get lost in this, because this subject is soooo extensive and has soo much info. I had a weak bio background so I felt I had to compensate. I studied prolly 30 percent of all my studying on this subject. Looking back, it wasn't worth it for the grade that I got. For bio, I used cliffs ap bio (very sparingly - I hate text books) I also used a computer flash card program called anki (search for earlier posts on SDN). Try and understand main ideas on this. I wasted a lot of time memorizing small little detailed and obscure facts. – Kaplan was pretty good
Chem 20
I hate chem., I don't know how I got the same grade as bio on this. I did some last minute studying on the subject with an engineer friend, and he really helped teach me everything, because I really didn't know anything. I studied Kaplan, destroyer, I watched chads vids a couple months before the test, and I forgot some of it, so I would recommend taking notes. Destroyer was pretty good on this

This is fun for me, so I didn't mind spending a lot of time on it. I started out on Kaplan, and I was scoring around 18 19 ish, then I started crack dat, and the score rose to 21 22 on Kaplan. Crack dat is must buy
Qr 17
I hate math. I avoided this over all of my months of studying, and only studied it last minute with my friend, who taught me most of the stuff. I studied Kaplan and destroyer. Destroyer was good, so was kaplan
RC 24
Im naturally good at this
I did crack dat reading (even though its mostly tone passages) and Kaplan
The passages on the real dat were not as scientific as Kaplan, and not as liberal arts as crack dat. It was most similar to topscore.

Over all I am very happy about this score, I know that I put in ridiculous amount of hours (around 400 – though I wasted a lot of time, and studied inefficiently). But I did not score higher than an 18 on any of my practices tests. (all 3 kaplan and topscores).
The studying that happens in the last two weeks is the most important, and was the time that I learnt a large part of the infor
When I went into the test, I really wasn't hoping for much, so I was pleasantly surprised to make my score. I sense some kind of divine intervention here lol.
