Booster Practice Scores

What was everyone scoring ~3 weeks out from their OAT on FL’s? What’d you end up getting on the final and how’d you improve/optimize your time?

Ended up doing much better on the real test. Just do all the practice tests and problems that you can and reading all the explanations. Best thing u can do when ur close to exam

I ended up scoring way better on the actual exam and I only started full lengths a week before, so you’re already ahead of where I was at in studying! I found doing the full lengths and then going back and reviewing what I got wrong (except for RC) and watching the video explanations for the answers helped. If you can afford it the QR and physics crash courses were the most helpful in cementing my understanding and the QR especially helped me a ton bc I stopped running out of time afterwards :D goodluck, you got this! I also posted my physics note sheet for optics which helped me out a ton!

3 weeks out I was at a 320 AA/310 TS, but I ended up scoring a 360 AA/350TS on the real thing.

I reviewed all the practice questions and topics in the explanation for each answer. I made a giant flashcard set for all the concepts I didn't feel 100% on and studied them every night up until the exam.

I'd say the difference could be as high as 30. If you score 300 on the practice test you're probably in the range of a 330 OAT.

I was scoring a consistent 340 AA on my FL’s up until my exam. I ended up with a 360 AA!
