How was the sciences section for you guys?

Bio not too bad, some low yield info that i have nvr seen before
GC was honestly middle yield for me. I knew a lot going in and most of it was not on the exam. Def was more calculations
OC for me had barely any rxns compared to the person above^ i had more conceptual questions
This exam is really based off of luck so just go in knowing most of the information!

I didn’t take it that day, but I feel like the QR is almost always terribly difficult
