Hey everyone,

When you guys post your bootcamp practice test scores or whatever practice tests you're using... are those the scores of your first run through or after you've reviewed the material and retaken them?
 
It should be the first run through. It's pretty easy to memorize the answers for the second run and that'll skew the score quick.
I agree. I wouldn't recommend taking the bootcamp exams more than once or you will be answering too much off of memorization. I do think it's a good idea to copy certain questions that might seem confusing or difficult so you can refer back to them. I made a word document of these (with around 10-15 questions) and reworked them the day before my exam.
 
It is the first time taking the exam that gets posted. Taking the exam other times is usually for practice again so it wouldn't count because you would remember it. I would re-practice on tests for the sciences and possibly math if you have trouble, because reviewing the exams like this and really understanding major concepts helps a ton.
