Break down:
Bio: Man, this section was so damn random. My best advice is to use as many resources as possible. I feel like the reason I did bad was because I'v never taken general bio, evolution, biological diversity, or zoology.

GC: Destroyer + Chads. It was half conceptual and half calculations

OC: Destroyer + Chads is all you need . More conceptual than synthesis

PAT:
This section was very tough and I'm glad I used achiever to help me get up to speed. I think I had trouble with a couple hole punches. 1/3, 1/8 folds were on my test =[. If I could redo the DAT's I would use cdp + more achiever pat tests more frequently

RC: I just read the passage and answered the questions. Most of the questions were setup so that you can S&D. I didn't really prepare for this section.

QR: Math destroyer all the way!!!! Make sure to memorize all conversions, yard to feet , miles to feet, meters to miles, and etc. I actually used the calculator quite a bit, good thing it didn't lag =)

Resources:
AP cliffs, KBB, Dat Destroyer, Chads, Top score, CDP, and Achiever.
Also did Dental Works schedule (altered it quite a bit)

Background: I'm gonna post my back ground because I feel like It will help you guys understand why I got the scores I got.
GPA: 3.90
Major: Biochemistry
Bio: Cell bio, molec/genetics, and physiology
Chem: gchem, ochem, qchem, and pchem. < hence the good chem scores.
Math: Calc I,II, and III.

Question 1: Are my PAT and bio scores gonna ruin me =[?
Question 2: Do you guys want me to post my kbb/ cliffs outlines? They're not as pretty as bangity's, but they are outlined in a different style (more emphasis on bullet points) and also more detailed.

For my notes, I have no intention in selling them. All rights are reserved for their respective authors. They did all the work, I just outlined them.

Gratz on your scores! In my honest opinion, the PAT and Bio might hurt you a bit since they're only slightly above the national average (which is approximately 17). I would recommend polishing up on the bio and PAT if you have time.
 
Those are excellent scores! PAT and BIO are not low enough IMO to retake. You will get interviews. Make em remember you!
 
Those scores are pretty solid IMO ... I'm no expert, but if you have a decent GPA you should get plenty of interviews.
 
You have a 3.9 and a 22 AA! I see no reason why you should retake, but that's just me. I guess it depends on what schools your applying to. You did great. Congrats and good luck this cycle 🙂

Lol guys, ktran got plenty of interviews/acceptances when he applied. @BrazilianRider was just pulling his leg. 😛

People say Gen chem section was no too bad, is it really true? Do you recall, were there any electrolysis problems or something similar?
