So, first off my scores from July 18th (today):
Bio: 98
Chem:96
CR: 96
QR:77
Cumulative: 97
So, needless to say I'm disappointed in my QR score since it's the section that I worked the hardest on but, honestly, I was spent by the end of the exam.
Things I used: pearson exams and Collins practice tests/review and Kaplan 2018
I'm a nontrad and my Bio background is solid. So, I looked over a few things for this one but not much. I actually thought that the section was more difficult than the pearson practice tests and the Collins. More passages and more involved. But again, nontrad, so ymmv.
Chem: I was pleasantly surprised that this section was pretty straightforward and easier than the pearson/collins tests. It's been ages since I've been in a chem class so I put a significant amount of time into this by going through Kaplan, collins and pearson.
CR: Always been good at this sort of thing... I just took the pearson tests.
QR: man, I spent dayssss re-learning everything and the actual test questions were easier than the practice ones but I was tired and pretty much done. Ran out of time and guessed on the last 10 or so.
Hope that helps! Just keep chugging along and don't ignore the things that you miss! learn and re-learn and learn some more. and practice. timed. always.
*Edit: I have the 2018 Kaplan, Collins updated through 2018 (with all of the new reading q's) and various other books for sale. PM if interested! None of them were written in.
