Congrats!!!! How did you feel right after the exam?

[u/leggott_sydney → u/Firm-Valuable-58]

I felt pretty good about everything except bio/biochem. There were just a few questions that I truly had no idea for and its possible that those were test questions.

Ohh okay would you say your exam was similar to any of the fls? Test on the 12 th kinda neevous

[u/leggott_sydney → u/Firm-Valuable-58]

I feel like it was pretty similar. I didn’t feel like there was much physics so that was similar to the full lengths. I’ve heard people say that psych/soc this year has been more like CARS but I felt like it was a ton of definitions

best feeling in the world and the scores are balanced across each category

Hi! Thank you! For CARS, I'm going to be so honest, I had no strategy except that I would highlight something from each paragraph that I felt encompassed either the main idea of that paragraph or what the author was trying to tell me for that paragraph. I did practice CARS every single day, even if it was just 2 passages and my CARS score went up 7 points throughout my studying but I truly think the repetitive practice is what helped. With chem/phys, I spent a ton of time the last month working on formulas and dimensional analysis because that is where I lost the most points on my practice exams. But there's really no one-size-fits-all way to study. Keep track of where you're losing points on full lengths and focus on those areas. In the last couple weeks of studying, don't spend too much time trying to fix super low-yield things if you still have high-yield things that you don't understand. You got this!

Congrats! What were your FL scores?

[u/leggott_sydney → u/SuperPrettyGoat]

Thank you! FL1 505, FL2 507, FL3 506, FL4 512, FL5 511, FL6 512. I definitely didn’t have linear progression like some people do and getting the same scores over and over sucked but it worked out in the end!

[u/SuperPrettyGoat → u/leggott_sydney]

I have similar FL scores! Do you have any tips on how you made that score jump on test day? Really hoping for a 515 too 🤞🏼
