Lots of traffic on this thread lol. Maybe a bump will get things going.
I'm a retaker doing a modified Sn2ed schedule. Definitely easier the second time around, however, still a challenge to put in the hours each day.
Tentatively signed up for this date. Retake for me.
5/30 re-taker here. This time I am going to $%#& it up.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
How did you guys study on the second time around? I'm re-taking also, took my first one May 18th, I knew leaving it that I didn't do well so I never really stopped studying, but I just basically just kept it somewhat fresh in my head. I just recently finished a full semester of summer classes and have been studying during them {they were really easy Psych classes.} My biggest problem was not doing enough section/subject tests or full lengths[5 or 6 not in test taking conditions] but for the most part if you asked me about a topic I knew it well, if you gave me a complex problem, I wouldn't know where to start.
Basically my Physical sciences from the first FL to the last one I think it deviated 1pt only 1 time from a 9. Bio I went from a 7 and hit up to 10. Verbal was all over the place, I scored 4/5 if it was a difficult humanities passage, or I could score up to a 9/10 if the passages were interesting. When I took the actual exam [which was 10x harder than my kaplan FL & AAMC's] and got my scores, I expected my PS to be the highest, then bio and then vr. I scored highest in BS [still below my total FL avg but still good] then Verbal [below avg.] and my PS I bombed so bad, it's the only reason I decided to retake. I found myself second guessing on formulas or changing questions.
My plan this time has been less content review, just using *********** to refresh my PS & Orgo., then skim over BIO & concentrate on molecular genetics which is the hardest portion of bio for me and VR just practice (obviously)
I used Kaplan's materials + course last time, this time I'm using only their subject tests & section tests. Using *********** for GChem/Orgo/Physics & EK for Bio. I'm going to start my first FL Wednesday & not do 1 FL every day like last time, I'm going to do 1 FL and correct it, practice problems similar to the ones I got wrong and the following day do a full Post-Phrase on it. I'm studying 6-10 hours a day right now, I actually enjoy it.
Sorry for the long post but what do you guys think!? Tips? Suggestions?
