So, we've got the 3/28 and the 4/18, but no 4/4/08 yet. Anyone else taking it on this date?
good luck to everyone!
just be logical, look at every answer, and dont get distracted or tired. stay smart, answer smart.
realistically, I have no idea how I did... Not pissed off nor happy with my performance.
I'm feeling a little strange because I feel pretty confident about PS and BS, but I thought VR was absolutely brutal. I flat out guessed on every question from the first person dinosaur passage. I never got the main idea and I really didn't know what was going on in that one. There were another 5 or 6 that I didn't feel comfortable with my final answer.
On practice tests I'm very consistent, scoring 10 or 11 every time, but I don't know about this one especially now that everyone is saying how easy it was.
PS - i didn't think it was too terrible. the timing obviously the hardest part.
VR - not too bad either. a couple of crappy questions that i had to take 50:50 guesses on, but nothing too bad.
WS - my best part (sigh). alas, doesn't matter too much.
BS - i thought this was the hardest part. the crab section and the amputee amphibian sections sucked. also, the vascular pressure one wasn't too easy either. i think i scored terribly on the BS.
overall, i thought it was much more difficult than the AAMC practice exams. I was getting 32-35 on those, but i'm now hoping for a 30 on this one. oh well!
good luck, all!
Just gonna warn you Knights, you can't ask information pertaining to the specifics of a question. I would recommend you delete your post.
NP Knights. BTW, i didn't think the amputation passage was bad at all, but that damn crabs one was so annoying. The passage was very cut and dry, but the inferences needed for the questions weren't obvious ones and required a lot of extrapolation.
Hey all...
I starting thinking about retaking right after P.S.... P.S. was so hard for me...
I didn't have a melanin passage.
PS- a lot harder than AAMC's. I was able to hit 13 on 5 of the AAMC's in this section with time to spare, but today I was just scrambling for time.
Did anybody else think PS was brutal? Usually it's my best section, but today it just didn't click.

VR- this section has always been bad for me, and I felt it was probably on par with the AAMC's.
WR- easy
BS- most of it was okay, lots of graph interpretation

It's funny how it usually turns out. I bet many of you will get good scores on PS and maybe lower than expected on VR ( since so many thought it was easy---well, it means it was easy for all and the curve maybe harsh)
Exactly. That Amputation passage knocked me out but apparently, most people seemed to have a passage on melanin instead of this.
