Hey Guys,

I am finally done and it feels good but I am also upset as I didnt do as well as I needed to given my GPA. My GPA is as followed: cumulative - 3.3, BCP - 3.4, formal post bacc - 4.00.

I am posting on my friends SDN account so disregard his profile 🙂. I rarely post on here but I have been reading the forums for the past 2 months, so I felt a little obligated to give back to the community.

My scores are:

PAT - 20
QR - 16 👎
RC - 20
Bio - 20
Gchem - 20
Ochem - 22
TS - 20
AA - 20

Here is my break down.

PAT - All I used was CDP, nothing more. Everything was comparable to CDP IMO. I bought the 10 test version of CDP and took the first 8 tests: 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 20, 21, 20

QR - I did of all math destroyer and was averaging 35/40 on the last 3 tests. I am not sure what happened here. I may have ran out of steam as I did not even get an hour of sleep the night before.

RC - I just used CDR for this and it was very comparable. CDR I thought was actually harder, especially test 8-10 where all three passages were 24+ paragraphs long. For this section, I read the questions and wrote down key words for each question and then proceeded to read the entire passage. My three passages were on bone fractures, antibiotics, and something I dont completely remember LOL. My CDR scores were 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 20, 20, 21, 21, 20.

Bio - I thought my version wasnt as random as peopled have mentioned on here. I had NO genetics question or even a HW problem, which I thought was odd. I did get a few taxonomy questions. Nothing on plants. My test consisted of mostly molecular biology and a few experimental questions. All I used for this section was Barron's AP biology and Campbell's AP bio

Chem - Only used Chads and Destroyer here. I had at least two experimental problems where I was given two compounds and asked how to extract them. I was clueless 😡.

Ochem - Again, all I used for this was Chads and Destroyer. This section was relatively easy but I got a few WTF questions on lab techniques. I also had a question on the enol form of glucose as it tautomerizes into sucrose lol.

All in all, I am not too happy with my scores. I studied for about 6 weeks and thought I had pretty much mastered the chemistry sections. I am pretty bummed out on my math score too.

Are you kidding?! Techniques and sugar tautomerization?! Where are they getting their questions from? It is not even covered in orgo class. People mention bio experiment stuff, do you mean like absorbance using the cuvette stuff? Or is this like pcr, southern blotting, etc?
 
Btw, the scores are great though! You should get interviews and get in somewhere.
 
Good scores. Very consistent. I'm sure you'll get interviews and get in somewhere especially with that 4.0 postbacc gpa!
