I feel more ready to get it over with than really ready. I'm not sure I could ever feel ready because there's always more to do. I never really mastered anything but I feel that I put so much time in that it should reveal itself on the exam.
I got lot's of help and advice from you guys and I really appreciate it!
I plan to post my scores, even if I'm embarrassed😕 or they don't measure up to SDN standards. Maybe my review will help others.

Good luck to you and don't worry about these 24+AA scores. An average score coupled with a good GPA is fine. NO pressure...

Do not worry too much - I am sure you will do great!

How long did you study for and what materials did you use?

Also, what time is your exam at?
 
1:30

I did Chad's vidoes and quizzes for orgo and gc.
Destroyer gen chem once completely through and some of it twice through
Destroyer Orgo road maps only (only did a fraction of the problems)
Math Destroyer -all tests
Qvault Math and bio
Cliffs
Barrons index cards
CPAT

Edit: Studied for 8 + weeks, days varied but I probably averaged 6-9 hours/day. Some days I did 10 and I just couldn't believe it and others I could only do 3 because of work or other engagements.

Took ADA2009
3 topscores

Seems like you've done all that you could've done. Your effort will definitely reveal itself on the test. Just keep pushing through it, don't let any single section dictate how you do on the next section. Good luck.
 
I didn't feel ready for my test, and I never would have! Like you, I just wanted to get it over with! At a certain point, I think that doing any more studying is just stressful and doesn't really have much of a payoff. GOOD LUCK!

I agree with Glimmer. I rescheduled my exam several times because I did not feel ready. To be honest, I still do not feel ready. But now, I feel far less ready than I did before because of the lack of the desire to sit and study and forgetting the material I already reviewed. Best thing to do is go in there and get it over with - I am learning this the hard way...the VERY hard way.
 
I only scheduled my test a week in advance. Studying was never exactly a fun thing, but it was getting to the point that I would rather rip off my toenails than look at another biology chapter.

For that final week, I studied about 7 hours a day for the first four days. Then, for the last 3 days, I just reviewed about an hour a day. I wanted that sucker OVER WITH!
 
you'll do fine. i'm on my 6th week of prep and with the fall semester starting a couple days ago i really need to decide whether or not to pull the trigger before the fit really hits the shan with my regular course responsibilities.

good luck.
