Hey guys, I've always just read the forums but I told myself if I did ok on the test that I would post and let you know what helped me out. Thanks to all of you for the help! I just walked in knowing I studied hard and that I was going to do great! Positive thinking is key. I walked out feeling like I did my best, and that's all you can really ask of yourself.
I'll do a thorough breakdown tomorrow.

I am an georgia resident. I am 24 years old. I have a 3.75 BCP, 3.76 sGPA, 3.8 oGPA. I submitted two days ago.(I hope its not too late.) I applied to upenn, pacific, unlv, marquette, boston, nyu, temple, tufts, nova and mcg.
Mini Breakdown:
Bio- Not bad at all. I had seen everything at least once so I was comfortable. I thought I had a 30 but I suppose its not too bad. Cliffs AP was great. Kaplan wasn't enough.
GC- Basic calculation setups, simple concepts. One or two hard concepts. Destroyer was fine here. Nothing I hadn't seen.
OC- A few rxns, nothing too crazy. Had 1 IR and 1 HNMR. Both were easy if you memorized the basic kaplan charts. I thought destroyer was a little much here.
PAT- I just did Kaplan. I don't know I was scoring about the same on Kaplans tests.
RC- This was a lot easier than I had imagined. Just did search and destroy. I finished with about 6 minutes so I just took a mental break and cleaned my laminated paper.
QR- I know people freak out about this but I really didn't think the questions were hard, you just had to calculate fast. I did the math in the back of destroyer, kaplan tests, and CDM. I felt CDM best prepared me. The solutions suck but the question caliber was spot on and the timing must have helped me. I actually finished with 42 seconds left and I was excited.
I studied for about 1.5 months. I thought topscore was pretty spot on (I'll get my practice scores when I get off my laptop tomorrow). I would appreciate any feedback and/or school suggestions as in if I should just not pay the secondary fee because I have no shot. PM and I'll answer from my phone if I'm coherent tonight
! Thanks guys and study hard!!!
