It feels amazing to be finally done!!! Here are my scores:

PAT: 18
QR: 19
RC: 21
BIO: 19
GC: 21
OC: 29 🙂
TS: 21
AA: 22

PAT: I ran out of time! Stupid angles! Everything else is comparable to TopScore.

QR: I have no idea what I messed up on. Majority of it was calculations and word problems. I think I only had one probability question, something about picking out red marbles, and then two trig problems.

RC: Harder than TopScore. I just searched for answers and that worked out okay.

BIO: Kinda random... I definitely guessed on quite a few. I got the sea urchin question. Basically just used Kaplan, Topscore, Achiever and supplemented with Schaums.

GChem: Not bad. Definitely easier than the practice tests.

OChem: I just took Orgo 2 this summer so it's fresh in my mind.

Good luck to those that haven't taken it yet!
 
Hey great freakin scores man! just wondering, the angle ranking, are the lines straight (meaning not all jagged like they are on topscore?)
 
Thanks guys! In terms of the angles, the lines were pretty straight and not jagged if I remember correctly. There was one question where all the choices looked like they were exactly right angles... arghhh...
 
Yeah the angles pretty much suck. I wanted to make sure that I had time on some that I could figure out with time so I just got it down to two, eyeballed it, and just went with gut instinct. Who knows how many I missed 🙄
 
Hey Fiery! Did u take topscore tests to prepare? If so, could you private message me or post your scores? I just want to get an idea of where I stand. Thanks, and CONGRATS on those scores! I'd KILL for them!!!
 
I did Achiever 2 weeks before the test date and TopScore 1-2 weeks before.

Achiever:
Sciences: 14-18
Achiever 1 PAT: 16
I didn't do PAT for Achiever 2 and 3 and didn't do any RC or QR.

TopScore:
Sciences: 17-20
PAT: 19-20
RC: 19-23
QR: 19-22

so then my question is how did u study for ochem (great scores btw)? I am having the hardest time with it!!!
 
I took Orgo 2 during July so that definitely helped. I didn't really concentrate too much on the Kaplan Orgo. When I took Orgo 1 I made sheets/flashcards of all the reactions so I just pulled those out again to study. I had a great professor (David Klein) for both Orgo 1 and 2, and he actually wrote his own books, Organic Chemistry as a Second Language. I also skimmed through those (there's 2 books, one for Orgo 1 and another for Orgo 2). They're not that expensive and I think you can find them on Amazon. They're small paperback books with great explanations and example problems.
