Hello,
I would finally like to thank SDNers for helping me get through this test!
Bio:18
GC:20
Ochem:22😍
Pat:22😍
RC:21
QR:19
I know this is not the best score you will see on here but I am super proud of myself and so glad to be done after giving up my life for about 6 months.

So I am going to do a mini break down and if you have questions I would be more than happy to help!
Bio: Ok I know this is overused but, TOTALLY RANDOM. I was so over people saying that but it's true! Got 2 technique questions! I am not a bio major so I did some good guessing. Topscore scores are pretty on with this. I read cliffs AP bio like 3 times as well as the kaplan BB. PS IMO Kaplan was a waste of money except for the books. My teacher was just some guy that did really well himself. He only read from Kaplan WB and was boring. The thinkwell videos were great! I love georgy and his pink shirt. I would def watch the videos on things you don't have a good backround on.
GC: Two words Chads Videos. Watch them and do his problems and you are golden. Used destroyer too, but by the time I got into it I was realy burnt out and just wanted to watch chad.
OChem: CHAD. I did really bad in ochem in school and would have been so happy with an 18. If I can get a 22 ANYONE can. Used the ochem odessey. Go through it and you are over prepared.
PAT: My CDP scores were all over the place. Ranging from 17 to 21 (never 22!) When I was taking the test I was like "this is it?" angles are easier on the real thing. Can't really remember the rest, but get CDP! Its great practice!
RC: This was expected. I didn't get pianoed ( even though I read up on pianos to get a good backround haha) I got a passage on ethics, fungi, and how teeth develop.
QR: I thought I was going to do soooo bad. My topscore scores were good but I tried a few CDM a few days before the test and got 16's. It was simliar IMO to topscore.

Nice scores!

What was your strategy for RC? How were your RC passages?

Well the first passage I read the passage and wrote down key words for each paragraph while I was looking for the first question, when I found it I would answer and then kept reading and taking notes etc. I could not really read what I was writing (I have a broken wrist) so I gave up and search and destroyed for the next 2 passages. If I can't find it within a minute I would pick and answer and go back to it at the end.
