Hey everyone,

Thanks for all the support and encouragment along the way. Everyone on here is so smart, and It can kind of make it seem impossible to get good scores, but its not!! You just have to remember, the test is SO RANDOM, and you can get asked just about anything. Many things that I thought for sure would show up didnt, and things i didnt even see coming did. All you can do is try to practice practice and review as much as possible, and then STAY focused.

The testing center I went to had OLD school monitors that kinda flashed (the bubble kind) and kinda drove me insane/were distracting. Oh well.

Bio- pretty random, dont know what all the fuss about the FRAP was about, its a weird question, and I dont think even after I read about frap that I knew the answer, but its prob experimental. I also had a couple graph/picture questions, but they were pretty easy. The questions were all multiple choice, none of that I and II II and III etc etc.. I HATE THOSE.

Chem- I was thinking that I was bombing this section, because It was a lot different than the practice sections that I had taken, very little calculation,kinda threw me off.

Orgo- pretty easy, expected stuff.. nothing crazy.

PAT- hole punching MUCH easier than achiever or crack dat. Angles about the same as crack. tfe a little harder than crack... keyholes the same or easier.. same with cubes.. a few funky ones though.

Reading.. again.. what was ALL they hype about with the ethics passage.. it was actually one of the easier ones because its pretty straight forward.. you just have to pay attention to detail.

QR... WTF.. there were a couple bizarre questions.. i just ran out of time.. lots of stuff was what I expected though.

Anyway I was SO NERVOUS.. i think it impeded me a little, so try to relax.. i literally peed a million times.. and I got a little flustered sometimes and It slowed me down, esp in the sciences and PAT (I guessed on quite a few tfe).

I prayed and prayed not to get the FRAP test because of all the hype. But im here to tell you that it WAS NOT that bad, so dont panic if you see the question. Anyways thanks again everyone. for everything! Happy 4th of july

Did u use search and destroy method for reading, or read through the passages?
 
I search and destroy, but in the meantime i kinda scan/read the passages really fast.. After a few questions I get a hang of where stuff is in the passage..
 
good job congrat.. i remeber last week you were so panic. I told you don't worry about your practice tests do you remeber? now focus on rest of your application, you have very soild score
good luck for your interviews 🙂
 
Hey yall.. achiever was WAY harder. it kinda freaked me out that I was going to do bad, but at the same time.. i guess thats good because then the real test feels easier. Id say it felt more like topscore.. but with less calcs.
 
hey danny, yeah i remember, everyones support helped me gain a little more confidence.. are you from texas too??

congratulations!! i bet it feels awesome to finally be done. now enjoy the rest of the summer.
 
haha just for fun.. whenever I would get down on myself my friends/boyfriend would sing that song "smack dat.. all on the floor.. smack dat.. tell me some more.." Try to sing it for a laugh when you get really stressed.. and imagine yourself smacking the dat .. instead of doing bad 🙂 good luck to everyone!

haha that's pretty funny. i love that song so i'll keep that in mind. it's getting hard to stay focused! i have 16 days left!!!

do you mind giving a break down of your study methods, materials, and length of time? It helps to see how people do based on their preparation. Thanks and congrats on great scores!
