First off I want to say thank you to everyone in this forum who helped me during this long and hard process. I seriously had like 5 breakdowns bookmarked on my browser haha. I took my test this morning at 8am and the conditions were perfect for me. Two days ago I was freaking out but decided to go out for sushi and listen to Eye of the Tiger the whole day which seriously relaxed my nerves quite a bit. Here is my take on the test.
PA: Nothing too crazy. I used CDP for prep and it was pretty awesome. I started out scoring 16 or 17 and sucked really bad at almost everything. Looking for techniques I went to KBB and visited the wicked sick PAT tutorial thread on this forum. My score shot up to 20-21 after learning how to count lines in TFE, visualize laptops during angles, 4x4 grid for paper folding and setting up the T-chart for cube counting. During the test everything was pretty simple. I think the reason why I got a 23 is because I was super careful with everything and counted cubes twice before answering questions. I would mark the T-chart the first time with slashed and dot them like i's the second. Overall not bad.
QR: I suck at math. I started out with CDM and sucked at it so I got math destroyer. Went through all of math destroyer but the concepts didn't stick too well. I was freaking out during the test and ended up guessing on like 12 questions. I just looked at the answers and picked one of the choices that were close to two other choices. Got super lucky with an 18
RC: Didn't really study for this. The first passage I tried to do vicviper's strategy but had trouble remembering the questions so the other two passages I just straight up read and then answered the questions. This works for me and I was fairly familiar with the topics.
Bio: Some questions were easy and some were a little difficult. Overall I think that Barron's AP Bio prepared me pretty well. I read through KBB once then used Anki to flashcard all of Barrons. Memorized all of Barrons including the practice test. Studied for this section the most and pretty happy with my score.
OC/GC: Used Chad + Destroyer. Prepared me very well. On the test I thought both sections were really easy. I scored 18 and 19 on this section in the first Topscore and was pretty freaked out but just went through destroyer 3 times and Anki'ed everything.
My Overall GPA is 3.46 and Science GPA is 3.26. Got decent amount of hours and went abroad to Vietnam for a medical/dental mission trip earlier in June of this year. Sorry if this post is unorganized or doesn't make sense, I'm super burned out lol. Feel free to leave comments. Thanks SDN!
