Hey, First of all, I would just like to thank all of the people who help me with the questions I had. I would especially like to thank Streetwolf, Bodybldgdoc, poc91nc, saaz85, Mstoothlady2012, pmmurray, jigabodo, and may others. You guys are truly helpfull!!

Scores:

Bio: 24
G.chem: 21
Organic: 26
RC: 19
QR: 19

TS: 23
AA: 21
PAT: 22

GPA: 3.3
Sci: 3.4

Stuff I studied with: Topscore, CracktheDAT, Achiever, Destroyer, Schaums Bio, GRE Bio, Organic old notes, Gchem old textbook, Campbells.

I would discuss each section, but I will be basically repeating what Mstoothlady said, she did a great job explaining each section!

Good luck with everyone else who is planning to take it soon, Just be calm and don't freak out when you see the first couple of questions that are hard, it gets easier!

One more question: I was wondering, do you think, that low score in QR in RC effect me too much? I really can't deal with studying this again! But I will appreciate you opinions!

Hey, I think the main thing helped me with ochem is Mcmurry book and answer solution guide. I just went throught the highlighted pages at the end of each chapter, which helped.

As for Bio, I think Schaums helped me the most!

Wonderful!!! You said GRE bio. Did you mean GRE QR or GRE RC, b/c GRE doesn't have a bio section. It is an exam for master's of art and computer science students. I have taken it before.
Wouldn't you mind to tell us how long did you study for the test and what was your method of study? Thank you.

So Lonely Sol is not talking about GRE book, which is for GRE exam.
They came up with study giudes for science majors?? It seems very unlikely to me.
I just checked amazon. I didn't find GRE bio or GRE org. Could you please send me a link with those books for sale. thanks.

The GRE is an exam to enter grad school and they have a whole crapload of different subject tests as well. I have one of the GRE bio books myself.

Sorry I have been out, but yea its called REA BIO, ppl who take GRE Bio subject test use it. Its really detailed and it is basically question and answers.

Well, the concepts were ussual, I think its all about how they word the questions. You have to be really carefull when you read the questions.

P.S.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I agree, Schaum's is the best Bio review out there.... I just think some people get intimidated by it because its like 300 pages of really dense reading.

Schaum is definitely the best review material for the Bio.

In my opinion, Schaum > Cliff AP > Destroyer > Kaplan > Achiever

Out of curiosity, how did it compare to March exam?

I think this time around I felt more prepared because I didnt leave any stone unturned. The april one just caught me off guard, especially in QR and RC, I wasn't expecting it to be that hard plus the laminated board was new to me too.

Hmmm... what about for PAT, RC, and QC? Sciences I (seem to) know how to study but other areas, I'm having a hard time finding a way.
