~ Ok, so I was freaking out when I got my scores.... I was prepared for much worse.

- My thoughts.... I thought that bio was the hardest section. It had wayyyy more material on it than I had studied and I had to make educated guesses on ~5 questions. I had the sea urchin question as well. My test had a lot of blood/ metabolism stuff that I didn't know in detail. I thought that I did worse on this section.

- I thought chem was very very easy. I am a horrible chem student (got a C+ in chem 2) and there was nothing on the chem section that I couldnt handle. I had a few ksp and ka questions, two density questions, and a lot of molarity questions that were really easy. Nothing all of you can't handle.

- I thought I did better on orgo than I actually did. I didn't study for this section at all because I really like orgo and am fresh out of orgo 2.

- On the PAT, I thought that I had done worse. I thought that the angle rankings were hard but I didn't spend to much time on them. I went with my gut with those. The cube counting is easy, the keyholes were hard for me, and the top/front/end were easier than expected. Overall not too bad.

- The reading comp was very very easy for me but I am a very fast reader. I read through all of the passages and didn't make a map or diagram or anything. The passages weren't too long or confusing, and I had about 10 min left over at the end.

- QR is a weak section for me. I did the problems I could as fast as I could and skipped ones I didn't know/couldn't get right away (guessed randomly). I ran out of time on the last question.



My testing center was hard core! They wouldn't let me bring in any food, water, extra clothes (like a sweatshirt), ear plugs.... nothing except my ID. It was very quiet in the room and the format of the exam is like topscore or the kaplan CD. I was freaking out nervous before the test and so my advice would to be to not sweat problems you can't handle and to trust your instincts. Good luck to everyone!
