Reading Comprehension: 21
Biology: 22
General Chemistry: 19
Organic Chemistry: 19
Total Science: 20

GPA is alright- 3.42 overall, 3.5 sciences. Extracurriculars aren't that strong. I used the Kaplan book and topscore as study materials for the test.

did u have the piano reading passage?

Yes, I did have the piano passage. Wasn't as horrible as people seem to make it out to be. It did take me longer than the other passages, but it wasn't God-aweful.

Great job! Now go relax and enjoy the sun.

BTW, how long did u study days/months/hrs and resources. Thanks!

I studied on and off for a couple months, I guess. Pretty intensely with the Kaplan book for the first month (2 hours a day while still in school and studying for my other classes... felt intense anyways 🙂), then started taking practice tests when school got out, referring to textbooks and the kaplan book when I came across a question that I did not understand. Took a couple weeks off of studying before the test, except for the last three days, when I took the Topscore pro tests.

I still need to write out my personal statement in order to e-submit... have been slacking on that. Ah well, almost done with the application process. 😀
