My test is scheduled on Aug. 18th. I'm not sure how I should view my test scores.

TS 1 (taken last week); TS 2 (taken today)

B: 17, 17
GC: 17, 19
OC: 17, 19
PAT: 20, 21
RC: 17, 20
QR: 16, 18
TS: 17, 18
AA: 17, 19

Achiever 1, 2, 3:

B: 17, 14, 16
GC: 18, 17, 15
OC: 18, 18, 18
PAT: 17, 17, 18
RC: 14, 15, 12
QR: 14, 16, 18
TS: 18, 16, 16
AA: 16, 16, 15

CDP: 18, 18, 18, 20, 21, 20, 20, 22, 22

CDR: 15, 15, 17, 18, 18, 16, 16, 16, 19

CDM: 16, 15, 21, 18, 19, 18

Overall, I feel pretty confident, but I don't know if I'm being too confident. Regardless, I'm gonna go in there ready to kill the test, but at the same time I dont want to be disappointed. The only sections I'm worried about are Bio (only took gBio) and RC.


What do you guys think...am I ready to kill this test?
 
How did you improve your reading score? I keep making around a 17 on CDR, but am doing well on everything else. It is really demotivating and is making me feel like I am not prepared for my test next week.

From what people say, the test is easier, so I think you should be fine.
 
almost never got above 19 on any practice test and i got a 21s.


That is so calming to hear!

I think I improved my reading score just by practicing with CDR and TS and Achiever. Mapping worked well for me on the last CDR, but I did it only 2 out of the 3 passages. If I thought the passage was too dense to map, I just would read it through. I thought it would just take too much time to map it out. I guess what helped me is to not think too much about strategy, just answer the questions.

Hope this helps!
 
I think u r ready to kill it. Go over all explanations on things u missed. and things like NMR/IR/ lab techniques/ taxonomy etc. U will do great. Do a PAT everyday if possible!
 
in reading i got 18's on every single practice test and ending up getting an 18 on the real thing. focus on the sciences, they are the most important
