Add a poll!
 
yes, add a poll, so I can vie for the approval of my internet peers.

Pick me, pick me!! Wait a minute..... I want to be the underdog, I fight better that way.... pick JonAF! 🙂

Time to go study more gen chem, I am weak on that stuff.
 
I only did 6 hours yesterday. I saw the Bourne Ultimatum. Totally worth it though, as that is the best movie I have seen since Casino Royale.

My 2/3 sciences are solid. I did all of the ochem and gchem problems yesterday. Only missed 7 on ochem and 5 on gchem. The best advice I can give you biocmp is to cover the answers on ochem and gchem when possible. Obviously, "which one is false" is kinda impossible. But on the workouts, work it out first and match the answer.

I have two weaknesses: bio and RC. QR and PAT are jokes for me. How I am going to up my RC, I don't know, but today I am going to town on Cliffs AP BIo for the second time.
 
You only missed 7 & 5 on what? destroyer?!? I hope it was your 17th time thru it
 
....... i'm scared...... 😳...... i may have bitten off a bit more than these mandibles can forcibly chew....

I've gone cross-eyed..... 🙂😳🙁

i hope youve memorized all the things that need to be memorized...all 3984903843 of them:laugh:
 
Memorize schmemorize.... I've merely integrated all of the required knowledge into my C drive, didn't you know.... I'm a computer.....

*biocmp quietly drops to his knees, folds his hands so that the fingers from each hand are adjacently straddled and begins praying..... Dear God.........
 
7 Hours so far today. Nothing too exciting. Read all of Cliffs, more Destroyer bio. I think I am going to do some reading comp here soon, it's just the one weakness I don't want to address....
 
biocmp:

Took Topscore 1 today:

19bio/25gc/25oc/21pat/22rc/22qr

Some of the bio questions are total garbage, watch out.



And ignore amsie, she will have nothing on me!
 
Jonathanaf is clearly controlling the tempo of the fight. Biocmp has no answers so far....I score the first round 9/10 jonathanaf...
 
I'm going to take a hiatus until after my test. I get nervous reading all of these posts, and seeing some people's scores (jon et al) so I am going to retreat and get focused.


I haven't taken any of the tests yet, so it's clear jon is out by a mile, gotta re-assess & get going, I'm starting to get nervous.... :scared:

So, good luck everyone in your preparation, I may get on, but I'm going to try not to, talk to you all in 15 days... 👍

NOOOOOOOOOO , but well... good luck
 
Achiever 1:

Some really garbage bio questions. All the mistakes I made were careless, with the exception of QR and PAT where I just had no idea what was up. Achiever PAT is such a pill, I can't stand it.

21/22/22/18/21/22
bio/gc/oc/pat/rc/qr


Poc insists the next two are harder, and I shouldn't get high and mighty yet. I should have Achiever 2 done on Tuesday, and I am going to do Topscore 2 on Sunday.

biocmp, I got your number buddy. You better hope I have a crappy day on testday (don't do that really, but you get the idea).

what other study materials are you using to study for bio?
i barely made an 18 in achiever's bio1.
 
Jonathanaf opens up the second round with a flying knee to the face..."my goodness...absolutely devastating..."

Biocmp goes down...Jonathanaf follows up with a vicious thai kick to the face...Biocmp goes into the fetal position....absolutely devastating.

fancymylotus has the towel ready...

*to be continued*

Amateurs🙄
 
Did biocmp go into the whitness protection program? Where are you man?
 
Man, you guys must be delirious from studying, that is some crazy stuff...lol
 
Just did Destroyer ochem all the way through. Missed 3 overall, and one was an ORTHO or PARA. I chose ortho. It was para. One was a Claisen and the other was something else ******ed.

Now I'm gonna do Destroyer QR! Yippee!


biocmp...step your game up already!
 
Sat my ass down for 4.5 hours and did Topscore 2 in full:

21/23/30/24/21/21
bio/gc/oc/pat/rc/qr

I'm actually angered by these scores, because I thought I nailed RC and GC on this one. The QR was pretty difficult, so I am actually happy about that one.

Back to work.

awesome!!!
 
Topscore 3: 20 bio/ 21 gchem / 23 gchem / 22 pat / 22 rc / 24 qr

22 aa/ 21 ts/ 22 pat

Let's hope I can blow the real one away. Two days and counting.
 
jonathanaf:

what do you use to study....? and how long have you been studying...what type of plan do you use. just wondering. i took the kaplan class and now im just reading through the blue book over and over again and then soon ill start destroyer and practice exams. i just want to know becuase i would love to make those same scores...also i need an estimate of when i should take my exam... i was thinking october but we'll see how intense school will be...(biochem and genetics) ek! ok thanks!!!
 
aggiedentist29: I'll make a post about it once I'm done...so probably Thursday night. If not, I have probably run away in shame because I didn't do as well as I wanted.


First off, I want to say, I missed some bs questions.
On bio, BS diseases I've never heard of. Although, apparently thats going to be par for the DAT. The others were mistakes, like reading nucleotide bond instead of nucleotide base bonds. I think that is where the best mess up on the tests....the nerves end up killing you and you read too fast. The other question I missed was #2 of topscore 3, and that is entirely BS because the focus is on the FORMATION, not the product. The process, not the result. I focused on that, couldn't find a right answer, and picked the best one. BS problem on topscore's part.

On GC, i left out III of a I, II, III question, a half life problem that I knew, and a net ionic equation.

On OC, I am enraged. All three that I missed were stupid errors, like NOT READING THE PROBLEM RIGHT. Had I sat down and calmed down the nerves, I would have aced the section.

On RC, I left two blank and didn't realize it. I finished and went and got a drink and then sat down for the last seconds. Had I thought twice, I would have had a higher score.

PAT: topscore pat is crap, the sizes rarely line up on aperture passing. I missed 5 on aperture passing, one angle ranking, and a cube counting. bah.

QR: I marked 4 problems, and they were the only ones I missed. One was a BS probability, two were ******ed area trig functions with non-right triangles, and the last one I didn't know how to do.


I guess the reason I came to rant is that I think everyone has more potential than they think, and if everyone would calm down on their test, the scores would be higher.

Here's hoping I can take my own advice on Thursday.

EDIT: Also, I thought ethers were soluble in water. Apparently not.

EDIT 2: I was right: http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache...ethers+water+soluble&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us

Stupid TopScore.
 
yea same here, the number of ******ed mistakes i made in topscore are unbelievable. like on TS 1 in gchem where we had to calculate the MM of an element and i forgot to divide by two since it was Z2.....

just gotta watch out on test day.

as for the ether i was wondering about that also. kaplan says they are slightly polar and thus slightly soluble. confused here
 
Jonathanaf-
seriously?! You found any redemption in Casino Royale? really? bond is supposed to be about purse first and ass last, man. love...james bond....not fathomable. oxymoronical at best. silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.

and no, I'm not a nerded out bond fanatic...nerd, but not a cinema freak🙂
 
jonathanaf did fine. The DAT is a done deal for this man. Now Biocmp....where are you????
 
ethers are only soluble in water only if they contain 4 carbons or LESS !!!!!

come on guys, i thought u knew that !!!!
 
Well, so far...jonathanaf is the winner by default. I'm guessing biocmp threw in the towel.

Where are you?
