Bio : used the cliff's AP intensively. didn't have much time for the destroyer, so I only did like 5 pages of it right before the test. Kaplan and Cliff's will cover pretty much 95% of the material (but kaplan alone isn't good.). The rest of 5% is from nowhere.Had the Schaum's bio outline too, but didn't even open the book as cliff was enough for me.
Chem and Ochem: Kaplan Blue book does the job for you. There won't be anything that isn't covered in the Blue book. Didn't have the time for the destroyer but I have read some part of its solutions and it looks good.
RC: I have no clue how I have gotten the 22. The problems were weird - they ask you stuff like "what would the author agree with?" or "The author would most likely respond like" type of questions. I had about 1/3 of this section filled with this odd questions. You really need to read the passage carefully. Skimming doesn't work for these questions.
QR: Used GRE math book (the official guide for the GRE). But 50% of them are word problems, so I would mainly focus on them. Didn't have any probability question. No weird trig questions either.
PAT: Angle was hard, just like everyone said. About 1/3 of the angle problems are almost impossible. Seems like I got most of my guesses correct. But the cube counting was a joke.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Also, I have a 3.9 GPA from UCLA. I have applied to PENN, Columbia, UCLA, USC, UCSF, NYU, and BU. For which school would you say I have a decent shot?
