Pretty happy with my scores, they are all over the place..
I just needed a minimum of 18 for the program im in to matriculate into d school but i was real surprised I got a overall 22 because I was hitting 18/19 the day before on Topscore.
I purchased a whole bunch of stuff: Kaplan, Achiever, Topscore, CrackDAT, barrons, cliff, destroyer, orgoman, and math destroyer.
I didnt touch barrons, orgoman, math destroyer (probably why my math was pretty low). Kaplan, except for some tricks I learned for PAT, was absolutely useless. Achiever was useless except for giving me enough stress to make me study.
Destroyer for bio/gc/orgo was the most useful. I probably wouldn't have done as well without it. I went through bio maybe 3 times, gc 2 times, and orgo once. Going through the problems really helps you know where you are sucking.
Orgo, I was scoring 17s/18s so I said screw it, Ill stick to the basics. I just memorized the difference between SN1/SN2... this was probably the most helpful and then got down ortho/para/meta.
Reading I did a lot of tests, mostly crackdat. Those ones really helped. reading books actually help too.
for PAT, I started doing origami because I figure it could help... and it sorta did. I usually scored higher on crackdat pat 22-23.
I hate math so I figured you can get almost 50 percent of the questions wrong and still get an 18 so once I knew I got roughly 22/23 questions right, I started guessing everything else.
My study method was a little extreme. First two weeks, I took it easy, read through cliff notes, solved a few problems in destroyer here and there. Last three weeks, I locked myself in my room for about 3 weeks.. got up at 8:30am and study until lunch, take an hour break, study until 6, break until 7:30pm, study until 12:30-1:00am and read a book, go to bed. Repeat for 3 weeks.
During these three weeks, I memorized cliff notes, went through destroyer problems, solved about 7 practice tests (2007, 2009, top score 1,2,3, crack dat) and then took the test on the 26th.
I gotta say, I was really surprised because as ive said, I scored around 18/19 on topscore test 3 and I was like damn... Im screwed. Also during the exam, everything but the science section, was impossible. anyways, not a fun experience, but definitely worth it, now time to apply and wait for my official acceptance letter.
summary: PAT - crackdatpat, Sciences - Destroyer + cliffnotes + sn1 vs sn2 + ortho/para/meta + reading - books/practice tests + math - 20+ questions correct for 18 (i could be wrong about this)
if any of you guys have any questions, lemme know, Ill try to answer them, because this is kind of a ****ty breakdown lol...
