Hey guys thought I should post up some thoughts about the test.
BOY am i happy its over.

BIO-ehhh saw some information that wasn't really in the books or anything. Had to go back on the bio that i learned in class. Not difficult. I thought it was similar to topscore.

G Chem-same as topscore/kaplan online tests.
O Chem-some new information but similar again to topscore

PAT-watch your time you can easily get off track. The angles are harder and you might get frustrated. The folds are a little different too.

Reading comp- same except for those stupid analyzing and infering questions. I got very frustrated with this section.

QR- best advice I can give is MOVE MOVE MOVE...if you can't figure out a question in 1 minute. Guess and move on.

Overall i thought the test was difficult but I ended up doing pretty well. My advice would be work hard, don't kill yourself, don't study things that are toooooo specific. I think a little mental prep also helps.

I also had a question regarding if dental schools give out some kind of scholarships...i don't want to sound dumb or anything but I don't know if they gives those out. For those that have questions feel free to ask. Hope your studying goes well.

Thanks for everything.
