hey guys...i have a couple of questions and i would appreciate if you could answer so i can sleep/perform better on my exam.
1st question==>ive been going to kaplan for the last 2 months and didnt see much progress w/ just reading the books. so i decided to take a new approach.now im doing the realeased exams and try to answer every question and if i get it right/wrong i go read the explanation. i did the micro/patho section and got a raw score of 80. then i talked to this other girl who goes there also and she told me that 'im wasting my time' because the format is completely different. I dont know what to study now. is it a waste of time to do old papers? im desperate to get into a california school and need/want to do really good. please give me any suggestions. im planning on taking the exam in july.
2nd question==> what is the LATEST i can take my exam to meet the september 1st deadline for cali schools? i was planning july 1st week but then thought...if exam result comes out after 1 month then i will still be ok if i take the exam by mid july (which gives me another 10 days to prepare)....will that be ok? since i gotta make the california school deadlines? (everybody who is applyin to cali schools please share when ur taking the exam)
3rd question===> same girl (at kaplan) said that my TOEFL result is only valid for 3 months....and im was gonna take it in may....so does that mean its a waste of time for me to take it in may? and i should take it closer to the deadline? (like in july or somthing)...
i know its a long post but i would appreciate if u guys could just give me answers. even if they are one word. i appreciate it cuz im panicking right now.
thanks!
