I wanted to do a brief breakdown because I did Achiever this time and want to share the results for others who are using/will use that program.
PAT-QR-RC-BIO-CHEM-OC
Achiever#1 17-20-16-17-17-15
Achiever#2 20-18-19-18-15-16
Achiever#3 20-18-17-14-17-16
Seriously I feel bad for anyone who uses Achiever before taking the real thing once because it was brutal. Luckily I knew that the real one isn't even close to that, so I was able to use it as a good study tool without being too traumatized after every test.
Now my very short breakdown (give me a break, done this once before lol):
PAT - didn't practice besides achiever. I used crack dat pat last time which is all you need. The tfe and keyholes this time were so hard that I literally had 20 minutes left for angles, cubes, and pattern folding. Luckily the kind soul who wrote this test made the pattern folding super easy.
QR - didn't practice besides achiever. Knowing the trig identities better would've helped me (should've studied them more)! Again, thank you to whichever writer thought to barely put any probability questions.
RC - didn't practice besides achiever. One of my essays had less than 10 paragraphs and the other two were somewhat interesting. I just write keywords (the ones you know are going to show up in a q) from each paragraph and number them in a list so it's easier to go back to reference. Barely any tone questions, mostly search and destroy type.
BIO - I did destroyer, achiever, and my notes from last time (cliffsap & kaplan). The questions were either know it or you don't. A lot of people say just have a wide scope of knowledge and expose yourself to everything, which is good, but a few questions I was like those words are familiar but this question is going too in depth for me. Basically know everything and in depth (you know, they're totally not asking too much lol)
CHEM - Destroyer, achiever, last years notes from chad. Destroyer helps a lot of course (did it twice). Achiever is just cruel with the "takes 3 minutes to set up" problems. They basically prepare you to become a chemistry phd when all you need to know is how to plug something into pv=nrt, etc. Destroyer and chads all the way baby
OCHEM - This was 50% of my studying, shows that ochem just isn't my subject. Did destroyer 3X which was very helpful. Literally read every solution, even the ones I got right. Ran out of time on every achiever ochem section, but made sure to go back and actually do it. My old chad's notes were helpful as well as filling out the roadmaps. I found a site from another user (google "Organic Chemistry Practice Problems" and it's the second result, the one from msu) which was very good practice but unfortunately discovered it 3 days before my test and wasn't willing to do 500+ problems. Would recommend

Thanks to all the users who post questions and breakdowns as always
Good luck to those studying and for those who are finished LETS GET CRAY
