I can't believe I am writing this thread.
Test days freak me out. They make my stomach turn inside out. The people in the test center were telling to calm down, luckily I did that during the Exam.
Thanks to Nancy, Dr. Romano, and friends
Here is how it all went Down:
Bio: BIo is not my best subject ever but since I scored very low on it the first time around I really put in a lot more effort of getting it straight. The destroyer was a huge help for this section. I mean like if you know that whole bio section inside out and understand it in the middle of your sleep then you are 90% good for this section at least for my version of the exam. Some questions were straightforward while others were like "how would I ever know this." I had two slides, one of them was like a picture of an organale and other one I am still trying to figure what it was. I also read the AP Bio twice, huge intervals in between.
Gen Chem: Boy did I have to do calculations. I was mostly studying concepts and then boom I get this exam. Some of the calculations were simple, while others you had to think about. There were also some concepts like delta G, exothermic stuff, etc. Destroyer does a good job covering the concepts on this one. I did also use exam crackers when I started to study but it was too long to go through the whole think but it might have been worth it if I would have used it fully.
Orgo: Like everyone said most of it is straight forward. I had to read two spectrum's. One was C NMR and the other were bands. It was scary when it first showed up but I think I nailed that one but not so sure about the second one. I think for this section if you understand the destroyer and know how mechanism work for a reaction it will tremendously help and not just memorizing.
RC: I really thought I did great for this section. It was basically find and destroy type of questions. Others were like which one of these statements are true. I figured I got like maybe the most 10 out of 50. I quess I messed up somewhere after I got my score.
PAT: I was hoping to at least get a 19 on this section. The lowest I got on CDP was a 17 and the highest a 19. Recently I have been getting for keywholes/whole punching/ and cubes 14/15 right. The angles for this section weren't that hard but there were a few litterally an angle apart like CDP. There was one cube counting where it looked like an allusion but after having alot of experience with CDP I was quickly to look at it properly. I am so disappointed for this section.
QR: DO NOT DO WHAT I DID. The first question was simple and then followed the word problems. Instead of skipping them well I went and tried to solve which hurt my timing and eventually by the time I got to the end rushing I realized there had been faster solvable problems waiting for me. This is so depressing. This score along with my PAT could really hurt me. Epecially when I got this same score the first time around.
I did topscore a while back but my laptop charger stopped working and for the past month I couldn't access it till now.
I would like to thank everyone on this forum including KLutzky and d wanna and the rest of this forum.
I am really worried for my inconsistent grades. Should I be worried?

QR 14 -------> VERY DISAPPOINTING

I would also like to know what my chances are for BU if somebody knows what they accept.
Good luck to the rest. Don't worry your day to write this thread will come as well hopefully it won't take a year like it did for me.
