Quick and easy breakdown--- First off, i am giving my honest opinion, and probably should be taken arbitrarily. I thought this test was so effing hard. I started studying completely from scratch 1/3/11 ---5 years since my last bio or chem class and NO ORGANIC 2---and 10 years since my last math-- QR by far the worst to study for, do not put it off last because it wil make you cry and want to quit studying-- QR real test as bad as the preparation

QR-22
RC-21
Bio-20
GenC-26
Ochem-23
Ts-22
AA-22
I thought Ts and PAT was complete bogus--
Pat aperature passing was real hard b/c the structures are bulky and non symmetrical. Unlike anything I saw in CDP or AChiever-- Definitely need achiever for PAT--(achiever is a threeforeone--same software identical format, PAT practice and Reading) Angles were really hard in my opinion, normally getting 12/13 or CDP and i felt unsure about practically all the angles- hole punch, easy, TFE easy---- Cubes- breaking all the rules, bullchit!! i had 7 structures and 2 of them had cubes that were connected by endlines only-- achiever has a couple do them right- and patterns was completely completely horsechit- first i never finished a cdp or achiever with more than 10 secs left but somehow i got to patterns with 18 mins left- norm for me was 8 at most- and without those 18 mins i would have missed so many- these broke the rules too-- folded forward was the only possible answer, nothing was to scale, neither size or shading was proportional- test makers are assssssses. my attitude about PAT could have been biased after the TS section
Ts- HARD- harder than anything i have seen, not the calculations on achiever hard, but the depth of concept hard. My suggestions-- Get through all your info-cliffs and barrons ap- Chad (absolute must, i am suggesting an increase to 100/month, and still be worth it) and destroyer a must. After getting through it all, do 3 practices, 2007/2009 and an achiever- after those 3 focus on all the information that are not on those test- who cares about those test because they are not going to be similar at all- especially because the questions are replaced-- focus on everythign that is not on those test!!!! Hormones- know them, that is 1 free answer- hard bio info- bullchit questions all the way through- had a virus question that the definintion was for transductions but the only possible answers was transformation- none of my calculations were in equation format, calculate all the way through-- approximate one gen chem questions-- answer was 4 approximately and real answer was 3.7 -- the answer choices were -50 -2 1 2 hmmmmm??? bullchit and orgo- the reactions, you will have all seen before, but for orgo and the rest of TS out of the 100 questions, I only seen 3 questions, 1 from each section that were remotely close to all the questions i have done--5000+ (practice test etc) crazy! ( with the exception of the reactions) orgo-reaction, 3-carbon- weak base weak nuc, protic solvent had both E1 and Sn1 answer choices--- dont be surprised to get bull chit like this
overall gen chem hardest thought i missed 7 questions, was praying to just have a 'competitive' score and a few times considered giving up, dont let this happen to you-
RC- never finished on time 1 single practice test- never scored over 18 on any practice test
QR- rarely finished on time and never over a 19
i think i got lucky because, of course, my 15 minute break took me 17 minutes and then they have to metal detect you and check you in so i got to my passage with 57 mins on clock, and knowing i never finished on time, I think jump started my engine and I somhow prevailed- Ethics and fungi passage- something else
achiever--TS/aa/Pat 19/18/17,,, 18/18/18,,, 18/18/20
I think my forrible TS was balanced with a slightly easier QR and reading section, and i think no matter what my AA would have been similar but my score distribution wouldn't have been as pretty.
bottome line- you wont see anything that is familar so understand the concepts because that is the only way it will work-- chads awesome- dont loose focus or give up during the test- and when you get nonsense questions- oh well - lastly, study your hardest and do your best, regardless of results, the euphoric feeling is worth it all.
any questions i got you--
