Reading Comprehension: 19 (52.2%)
Biology: 21 (92.3%)😉

Total Science: 21 (91.6%)😀
Academic Average: 20 (87.6%)🙄

My cGPA: 3.2, sGPA: 3.14

Biology: Ok so basically I had one taxonomy question. I had no anatomy, physiology questions which was my strongest subject. There was no questions about anything pertaining to plants. Know stuff about metabolism.

General Chemistry: This section was really really basic nothing like what you see on any practice test. Just know the subjects you are tested on concepts. I had few calculation questions which were easily done in less than 1 minute.

Organic Chemistry: So it was half conceptual and half reactions. My reactions were all straightforward common reactions. The conceptual ones were a little tricky:

***Finished the total science section with ten minutes left****

PAT: Okk started off tricky and hard. I marked like the first 25. Then after angles and hole punching it was a breeze. I finished the exam with 10 minutes left. I had to really use the restroom so I quickly glanced over marked questions and took a break with 6 minutes left for the section. Could have done better if my bladder wasn't so full.

RC: Well I suck in this section. All my practice tests I scored 16's. I just prayed and got lucky for this section. You can tell I got an easy RC passages by the percentile.

QR: Well this was an extremely hard qr test. I am really comfortable with math so this was not even on my study list. I just worried about the other sections more, which was stupid because everything I studied for this summer helped me with probably 10 questions total from the science section.

Overall I finished the test still with much energy. Advice is to get plenty of sleep the day before which I did. I was really anxious to see my score, was aiming for 21 or higher but I'll settle for this score. I am also doing a one Masters so I should hopefully find some school that will accept me.

If you have any other questions about the exam message me and I will respond while the information is still fresh 😛

PAT advice please

PAT advice please

My advice for you is draw out everything during your tutorial. In addition to that number 1-15 with ABCDE next to each so you can go back to your keyhole and start marking off obvious incorrect answers to help you focus and choose the right one.
The angle ranking was not so hard. Just probably 2 questions with few degree differences.
Hole punching is really easy if you have the grid.
Cube counting is the same easy for me I guess only like 10-15 cubes
Folding is really complicated and instead of visualizing whole object, just find a shape or two and try to resemble it to one of the answers. Usually answers are different so sometime it helps.

LOL omg I really do hope you do very good in your test. Finally someone I can relate to lol. Just be calm & take it and don't worry about the time too much they have a 15 minute reminder, then a 5 minute reminder for every section.

Wallahi as far as the science section just use destroyer for organic chemistry and bio and general chemistry none of the study material helped me it was stuff i knew from undergrad

I, too, am a member of this GPA club! (my name explains why haha)

Reason for my gpa is lack of time to study due to full time work

i also have literally the same exact GPA as you lol. im hoping to god i score AT LEAST a 19 🙁

Ill pray for you hopefully you do get even better grades 🙂

Nice scores and congrats on being done

 

[BntHilwa]

Ok so do I wait before submitting my supplemental application fees??? Like I don't want the schools to review my application based on my old scores.

 

[Toadesque]

When you say for Bio to know stuff about metabolism what do you mean specifically? I have heard a number of people say this was important!

 

[Dotoday]

Great work. Don't worry. You earned good scores. Some schools should invite you for interviews.

Good job. I scored slightly higher in the sciences yet my percentiles are lower, how is that?
