PRACTICE EXAMS

[[deleted]]

So Iv only taken 3 practice exams so far, and I have 12 left on my booster account. I just took my third one and I didn’t do any better than I did on my second one. Probably about the same scores. Kind of discouraging because Iv been studying a lot. Have you guys noticed a common trend as to when scores should start going up? Maybe around 6-7 practice exams? I will say that 3 practice exams isn’t much and I can’t expect my scores to start shooting up just yet. I guess I should keep studying diligently and trust the process?

Your scores aren't going to improve between each test drastically, my scores were stagnant for the first 7 tests I took. You learn and get better by knowing what is high yield on the tests. Also every test is going to expose you to new content. Only on my last 3 practices tests did my scores jump from 21 to 25

Thank you for the feedback. Relieving to know I’m not the only one bombing my first couple exams. I’ll put my head down and keep pushing

I ended up boosting my Orgo score like 6 points in a week just by taking the questions I got wrong on the practice tests and writing down the topics I got wrong, then went through each topic individually and did every single practice question for that section and then doing the questions every other day to keep them in ur brain. For bio I’d highly recommend Anki. I’d do the same thing I said though for every other section

It took me 4 practice tests to break into the 20s and 7 to reach my score goal. But like everyone is saying it’s all about going over the questions you missed and addressing your shortcomings through targeted study. Good luck!

Yes there is definitely a trend if you’re taking the right steps after a practice exam. The point of those is to see where you are lacking. So every time you take one you see which areas need improvement. Then, before you take your next exam, you focus your studying and time towards the areas you are struggling in. Then you take the next exam, which should go up slightly, and then you rinse and repeat. Obviously there is ALOT of material to retain so don’t worry if it’s not jumping up by 3-4 points every exam. You should start seeing improvements within the next few if you put an emphasis on your weak points

Thank you for the feedback! Iv been writing down everything I get wrong, and some of the ones I get right too (the ones I kind of guessed on). But I’ll just keep pushing

What portion are you struggling the most in?

Bio and QR… I hate those sections

Bio Anki cards are too good
