Ok so my scores are decent..really mad about PAT but o well. So I was if you think I should take them again. I think I might be able to do better on certain areas but maybe a little lower on others so Im kinda scard to risk it and I think it should be good to get into one school right? I have a 3.5 overall gpa and a 3.4 science gpa. I have 60 hours of shadowing, over 100 hours of community service and 3 activities. But I know if I need to take it over now is the best time because I know it all and can just build on it. Anyway here they are

PAT 17 😡
QR 16😛
RC 18 happy cuz i had no plan going in and just wanted an 18
Bio 18 some weird questions where I could narrow it down to 2 so I was happy
Chem 18 should have done better
OC 20
TS 19
AA 18

I'd say the combination of your score and GPA are somewhat borderline.

I would recommend a retake to boost your chances, but if you got a state school you should definitely try your chances there.

Good luck!
 
Ya I feel like I am borderline but I stayed in for 3 and a half weeks and just want to be done with it and now I starting a full time job so I dont know how much time I will have

You only studied for 3 and a half weeks???
 
Ya just read Kaplan over once and took notes and then review the notes and took practice tests. Biology was really the only tough section not really hard material just weird wording on like 6 questions most of the others were pretty straight forward.

How long did it take you to complete the kaplan book? How many hrs per day did you read?
 
Well it kinda depends on how much you remember of the stuff.... It took me like 4 days to get through ochem but that was reading 4 sections a day (slow) could have done a lot more.... Chem 2 days 8 hrs each day and bio 2 days 8 hrs each day... but that was because I was starting to feel the heat with the test 2 and half weeks away.... the first week I took it easy reading just the organic chem and finishing up my aadsas application. Taking notes was real good though even though it took like 3 and half hours to go through it was a good review.

And I would suggest if you start to get low on time I would not worry about all the kaplan tutuorials and tests just focus on reviewing and rereading because I wasted a couple days doing all of them and I think I came out worse because I didnt review during those days and I was doing better on practice tests before then AFTER😱. But if you have time there not bad just the thing is if you spread your subjects over too big of a period you start to forget the stuff you read and learned the first time so I would suggest going over it fast and reviewing all the notes
