I have been studying for about 2 months and have seen little improvement in my scores. I finished the kaplan book twice and did some of the subject quizzes (disappointing) and even read some schaums. Any advice like how to improve my scores,
bio 15
chem 14
orgo 15
perceptual 17
rc 19
qr 17

regardless which program i use, achiever, topscore, barron...

you said some of schaum's, heres a tip...read over ALL of schaum's then read over kaplan, then read over cliff's ap bio...and memorize stuff dont just try to read it for fun, this is a test you need to memorize stuff and try to connect things together...when i went through schaum's i would try to connect alot of things and try to find logic in alot of what i was reading...look stuff up that you dont understand on wiki

For gchem read over kaplan a few times (maybe 2 or 3) and also read over ochem but for ochem i would suggest getting destroyer and going over the road maps first (memorize those really well) then dive into the questions...

In any case dont take any more practice tests if you havent studied they will be worthless ...thats one of the mistakes i made when i studied for this exam the first time i took it, i would take TS or Achiever after reading a book once...its not a good idea, take the tests after you feel like your done studying and know alot...
 
What are these scores that you posted?


Are these scores the best you have done?

Like osims says, taking the practice tests if you haven't already studied is worthless. After you take your practice tests, you should go through the sciences (and whichever other section you're having trouble with) and review the questions one by one to make sure you understand the concept behind each and every one.

I second that!

I didnt know you took it once already...your mini stats say DAT N/A, so I thought this was going to be your first time.

I think your problem is the number of hours per day.
If you only finished kaplan twice and some of another book then your going too slow.
Try to finish Kaplan again and all of shaums.
 
thanks so pretty much reread everything but try to connect it , how much time is good
