i dont know if its normal to be feelin this way buut im startin to worry alot
ive been thru cliffs, destroyer once, some of chads videos, kaplan subj tests, and some other stuff
ive been puttin in the hours, but beg to feel like i shoulda studied differently??

topscore2 test i got Bio Chem Ochem PA QR RC TS AA
18 21 20 22 20 19 20 20

from what ive heard, topscore is alot easier and these scores dont really mean much to me

achiever 1 Bio Chem Ochem PA QR RC TS AA
19 16 18 18 17 19 18 17
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACHIEVER 2
just took my test and im feelin like damn.. i think i got worst.
i dont feel ready at this point cuz of this

Bio Chem Ochem PA QR RC TS AA
17 17 18 18 19 17 18 18



CRACK scores have been okay
ranging from last to tests i took: test 5 and test 7, were 24 and 23 respectively

i really dont kno where this is goin tho

yea it may seem like im bein whiny and everythin, buut considering the fact that i saw alot of posts askin questions about topscore and achiever made me answer them before taking the tests, hence my tests scores may seem higher

just trynna get that 21.

I'm taking mine Sept 19th. I went through Barron's and got a 19AA. I'm still worried thought. It comes with 2 practice problems on the CD. I'm also gonna do the 3 TopScore exams (which people say is HARDER than the real thing).


I just want 20+ like you.

SIGH.

Hey Sushi! Your practice scores look great! You will definitely break your goal and get 21+ 🙂

You are set! Use the Topscore scores as confidence boosters. Don't pay a lot of attention to some of the clowns on sdn. Review stuff before the exam and you will set your goal. Good luck!

It is natural to be nervous as crap. Stay calm, eat blueberries, and keep reviewing. Figure out what you are pretty weak in and keep reviewing that. I remember I didn't review ANY gchem before the test (I was good at this on my last exam but started freaking out because I wasn't sure if I remembered it all lol) and I crammed doing destroyer once two days before my test and got a 22.

Your CDP scores look like they have improved ALOT from 17's. Keep taking them until a couple days before your test... review them. Biology just keep going through Cliffs and Blue Book if you have it.

Mind over matter my friend. Go into the last week like you are a champion. Confidence makes a huge difference. You have prepared the best you can and this is the best you are going to do. I look forward to your break down.

Do not worry too much about your topscore/achiever scores. Review what you got wrong and reread the science sub sections you are weak in. I got sub 20's on my topscore/achiever and pulled off a 21.

Destroyer Roadmaps. And know the named reactions like Wolff Kishner, Aldol condensation, Claisen, etc.

geez. who'd you hear that from?? i always heard (and from the looks of it) that it's much harder than the actual test. i never even bothered with it. i think you'll be fine so long as you don't slack off in the last 2 weeks. good luck!

oh man im about to take some achiever practice too but i think they are harder than topscore so just save topscore AFTER achievers so you boost your confidence back up a little bit

Hey man, you need be more confident! Forget about the results from Achiever and just review and study your mistakes. You will be totally fine 🙂

yeah boo to achiever too.

i'm actually not stressing much anymore, just trying to fit whatever i can fit in now and i have only a week left starting this tuesday. sept 15.

from then on, its practice CDP and topscores!.. perhaps i'll take the achievers first.

I was freaking out the day before DAT and ended up staying up all night in the bed til the sun was up.... I studied for quiet a while, but I was not still sure about everything... I did average (20AA 20PAT ) on topscore and didn't even get achiever. my tip is.... just try to go over things u not sure about and keep reviewing, and make good notes, and wish for good luck! drink some energy drink and take the test. that's what i did haha. Good luck! 😀
