Hey guys,
I have taken three topscore tests over the last week and today i took the third topscore test today and I was wondering if you guys could give me any feedback on where i stand for the science sections. My test is on Tuesday. Thank you so much any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

You're solid on the sciences. Topscore is harder compared to the real thing for sciences. Its about the same difficult for QR and RC. Its ridiculously easy for PAT.

How are you doing on the other sections? There have been a lot of people who put a lot of emphasis on sciences only to get a much lower RC or PAT score, hurting their overall cause. I am not hinting you'll be such a person, but at the same time I do caution you not to ignore any of the other sections.

thanks for your advice. i have done all 10 of the crack the dat pat and i have scored from 18-21...this is probably my weakest section so im going to go focus on it for the last few days.
I have always been decent at math and i did all the crack the dat math tests and i scored from 20-24 so i think im good to go there??
For RC i did the 5 CDR tests and scored between 19-21.

You're set. I don't know much about CDM but worst case scenario, its easier than the real thing and you'll end up getting a 20...

CDP and CDR are pretty close to the real thing in terms of scores. I think you'll probably get 20+ accross the board on a good day and maybe a few 19s and 20+ on the rest on a bad day. Make sure to focus and just do well on the actual test. Good luck!

thanks for your advice! do you have any advice on what i should do the day before my test (Monday)? should i just relax or should i look over some of my notes for a bit?

Well it depends on your exhaustion level. If you feel normal, definitely keep practicing and studying in moderate amounts. If you are already exhausted take it easy and just study over your notes etc. I personally kept studying till the last minute. I woke up at 5:00 since my test was 8:30 and studied till 8:15 when I was called to the prometric's front desk (mainly looking over past mistakes and how I made them).
