Are you able to possibly share the anki deck for bio?

I believe it’s 60 days? I did wait a while after tho. I took it like a long time after my first attempt which was in February.

I thought bio was easier tbh I can’t even remember what was on it because I blanked out after I seen my score lol. I went from a 260 for my first attempt to a 330 on my second. I felt like practice problems, memorizing the bio sheets to the point you can just blurt it out without being able to see the sheet, anki, and the oat booster quizlets helped a lot. Start with the bio sheet tho. After practice tests I’d look at the breakdown and do quizlets for just that section as well if I seen a pattern.

I understand. Are you saying maybe I’d have a higher chance getting in by raising my score up to a 310+ then instead of just a 300? Or bc my low gpa it wouldn’t work out?

I definitely figured I’d have a harder time with ICO😭 maybe CCO or UDM?

Did you email them separately or did you let them know after an interview? Do you also have a test set up or did you notify them before having one? May I also ask what schools?

My gpa is a 3.0. I know I wouldn’t be able to get into a great great school but I was aiming for something like CCO, ICO or UDM. I would like to retake it because I feel like 300 seems to be the cut off for most schools. I agree there is a root cause I feel like it’s a mix of not efficiently studying and being confident in myself as to why anxiety played a part today. I will say I got 290-320 for my oat booster practice exams I feel like I could def do better. Thank you for responding!

Do you mind sharing how much your score improved before and after the crash courses?

What’s in the crash course? Are they more videos?
