This is finally my breakdown. I'm going to first talk about my mental state of the past 3 months, awful!! It was literally the most stressful time in my entire life! My skin has never looked worse. If it wasn't for my mom and boyfriend I would have gone crazy. The support system was my most important factor! I am very hard on myself and need someone telling me to stay calm and keep working. My boyfriend was sooo sick of hearing about my daily scores and study habits. Another tip I have is to no it up. Study at the library one day and home the next go to McDonald's to study or outside or else it gets sooo boring and I actually lost more focus! Also change up what you do I would spend an hour on a practice section then watch a chad video or read bio. You need variety I keep your brain engaged and working. I made outlines and over 900 notecards! I fit all of Ochem on 4 sheets of paper.
I started may 26th and ended aug 21st. By aug 15th I lost all studying focus and just wanted to be done! I feel like that is the point when you are ready because you will never feel totally ready.

Bio 20 my test was hard it just wasn't stuff I looked at. I really wanted at least a 21 but bio is a gamble and I am not complaining! Paired with my 3.8 science gpa I'm confident.

I had cliffs ap, I thought it sucked. It was too basic! I didn't see the hype! I don't know I mean I forgot some stuff but as a whole I felt like as a bio major you should know all of that and that it was not adequate preparation. I also wasnt crazy about how it was written. I know minority.
Barron's ap, I read this one second ad helped reenforced stuff. I liked it better! It was like $3.00 lol.
dat qvault ~20.5 best for biology! I had a question that was word for word. Also has a similar way in asking questions like the real thing. Scores were close to real deal.

dat bootcamp scores ~19, I thought this was wayyy harder than the real thing and actually quite different. It helped me with little tricks and techniques though. Theses include trying to pick out the answer choice that is different, Or just process of elimination.
dat destroyer, it force me to go over stuff with their "which of the following is false..". No such question was on my real test but it makes you reallly know your stuff. I would recommend it. It's good practice. I have one if you need it 2011 version for $60. Message me!
Kaplan blue book sucked. I hate Kaplan. I took the free test and was not impressed. HUGE waste of money. Even the $15 used version from eBay.

Gen chem. 20

chads video! Yep amazing just like everyone said! You literally have to buy this! He's awesome!
Dat qvault 20 I only took the free one!
Dat destroyer! Sooo helpful for this section I went through 2xs. Had some really similar questions obviously destroyer is harder! Just keep with it like everyone says! Focus on improving not getting them correct!
Datbootcamp helpful ~20 score I didn't think it was that great overall tho. The answer key/ explanation was very nice tho!

Ochem real score- 25!!!!
Okay if you only read this part read it!!!!!!
I took dat qvault Ochem the free test an got a 16!!!!!! Some practice tests will suck don't take it to heart! I cried when I got the 16 bought the paid version and got a 21 on the very next test an hour later. I neverrr scored more than a 21 on any practice test!
Biggest thing is saving time for Ochem as it is the last science part! I made flash cards and outlines. DESTROYER was amazing!! I have it for sale. Chad was awesome! Also I had a very good undergrad prof.

Pat - 24!!!!!!

I bought crack the pat and stared with a 14!!! How can people say there is no improving this section!! I improved 10 points people!! My crack scores are as followed 14/18/18/19/19/20/21/19/23 all of the sudden it all just clicked. Angles were also much easier on the real thing!! Also stop counting for top front end learn other techniques! Counting will not cut it. Look for differences in the answers and see which one matches. You need to practice go over the incorrect ones but don't waste time on any one problem! I neverrr expected a 24! I am thanking God for this one.

I struggled with this all along. Datbootcamp was horrible for this!!! Not a single question type I saw was represented by bootcamp. Dat qvault was good practice to find my strategy.
I read paragraphs 1-5 skimmed 5-10 and picked key words for 10 to end ~14. Any question that took longer than ~30 seconds was written on the side and marked. 15mins for first section. And 20 for 2nd. Qvault scores were 17 17 18 19 20
Kaplan score was a 16!!! :/

This section made me cry sooo many times. It was very frustrating for me. I have never been bad at math but for some reason I couldn't handle the timing. Also this is the last section and staying calm was difficult. Most important advice is to skip skip skip and go back to anything that takes more than 20 seconds to set up.

Have a good support system.
Take an hour to yourself.
Sleep!
Don't drink.
Breath!
Positive self talk!
Stay calm!
Practice tests are very important
Here is my 2009 scores I took that 5 days prior
Science 21.
Pat 23.
Reading 20.
Math 19.
So my scores were pretty dead on!
 
Wow...you are like the first person to say Bootcamp wasn't representative of the real thing....you really thought Bootcamp wasn't 🙁? Btw great job and relax!

How did you improve your pat? I improved my cube counting, angles, and hole punches. Any advice for pattern folds, keyholes, and especially TFE?
 
Wow...you are like the first person to say Bootcamp wasn't representative of the real thing....you really thought Bootcamp wasn't 🙁? Btw great job and relax!

Thank God its not. I can't score higher than 17 on the RC.
 
Pattern fold is the tic tac toe Symmetry youtube method. I watched 1 youtube video and never missed another one!

Keyholes note subtle difference and try every possibility! Practice is best

Angles suck. I hate them sometimes I would use the hill method. I always found the big and the small and then the middles
 
Datbootcamp just was Hard and not like my real test. I don't know if I'm just the minority. It was helpful for Ochem but the other sections.... The explanations were great and it's a good study took just not similar in the way they ask you stuff. No one beats ari's customer service.
 
I couldn't score more than 17 on rc so I bought qvault reading. If its legal to sell you the rest of my paid subscription I can. Just work on timing and strategy with practice I was able to from a 16 to 19. Just calm down and attack each question.
 
I do back up my statement that dat bootcamp rc was awful! Much harder and it scared me sooo much. I guess he prepares you for the worse case. My passages were easy reads for me.

I love your breakdown its just so fresh. Like literally telling us what helped you & what was a waste of time. Thank you even though its too late for me to even study anymore. Test in few days.
