What would've I done differently. Study math more lol. REALLY learn dimensional analysis, it will help you immensely. When it comes down to it, I am not a very good test taker. Timing is my biggest enemy, I can't look at a problem and instantly know what to do to determine the answer.
I noticed a very many of the questions involving calculations didn't actually involve calculating anything. You had to just organize and write out the equation that you would use to get said answer.
i.e. - (760)(2)(58) / (44) (3) - just a random, made up example.
Also thought the Bio section in my case avoided some of the major subject areas I thought I would see.
That and the simple calculator they give in the QR section sucked. I've read here that it is a bit glitchy, but it was downright detrimental to my score here. Half the time you clicked the numbers it didn't register, and usually on calculators I use, after you use it to calculate one problem, I can just start doing a new calculation without having to hit the C button - 1/2 the time I was having to clear it and start over because it would spit out ridiculous numbers (apparently still using calculations from previous equations)
One thing did amuse me about the test and made me laugh out loud literally. One of the passages was about glutamine and genetics relating to some cancers of the eye, and the passage spoke of the side effects of lesser glutamates being burning chest, digestive problems, asthma like symptoms etc. and elaborated that the most widely ingested derivative was mono-sodium glutamate, and how such reactions to it have been dubbed, "the chinese restaurant syndrome" lol
Sooo that's the way the cookie crumbled hehe
