July 8 exam = August 9 release date
.This is me right now. I just opened up Fallout 4 right now time to kill Super Mutants and hope I stay distracted. This is worse than waiting for my parents to wake up on Christmas.
Holy **** that is all Im thinking about right now. I spent an extra 2 minutes to make sure I didnt void it but what if I was tired and misclicked.**** **** please hurry the hell up.Anyone have nightmares about accidentally voiding the exam?
I'm not a fan of drama but my stomach is actually churning right now..
So I'll be retaking
520!!!!!!! Oh my gosh! I'm so happy I'm freaking out!!!
Just got home from my exam!! Been lurking on this thread for a while and got a lot of useful info so thought I'd help if I could!
First off - there were some serious technical difficulties at my location. There was a pretty big lapse between questions that I felt affected my timing and my highlighter tool barely worked, which was seriously frustrating. Also the testing program on all of the computers in the room TURNED OFF mid B/B!! I was sure that we were going to all have to retake another day but the staff just rebooted them all one by one and they picked off right right where we left off (we had to re-sign in). Stressful.
For the actual exam:
C/P: Thought this was the easiest version of this section I've ever done. Passages were simple enough and they barely had in any strict memorization questions. Lucky for me, it was super light on physics. Definitely easier than section bank and both AAMC practice exams. That said, there were a few questions I had to make educated guesses on. Felt best about this section.
CARS: This is usually my best section. Usually score 129+ on practice material. Usually I feel good during and don't second guess myself at all. This was the hardest CARS section I've done. The passages weren't difficult at all, but the questions just seemed really convoluted with many having 2 answer choices that were super similar. I don't think I bombed it, but perhaps didn't do as well as I usually do.
B/B: I honestly barely remember anything besides the computer crash. Thought it was easier than the section bank and about on par with the scored FL. Passages were pretty straight-forward but there were definitely some questions that required a lot of thought. Harder than C/P. A lot of the things I expected to see that were consistently high yield on practice materials were barely mentioned (looking at you metabolic pathways). Didn't have time to go through my last couple marked.
P/S: This was by FAR the hardest section for me. Usually I breeze through and have like 30 minutes left to check answers but I only had 8 when I finished. I marked like 18 questions lol. I was SO unsure. Not only were questions weirdly phrased with hard to understand answers, but there was so much less data interpretation than I expected. I had seen almost all (except 2) topics/people/definitions but they asked about them in much more specific ways than I expected. I've never done amazingly on this section so a little concerned here.
OVERALL: I feel okay?? Honestly no clue how I did. My score could be anywhere from really bad to a good. I'm just happy to be done for at least a month! Highly recommend a good nights sleep before and just relaxing in the morning instead of cramming. Also take your breaks! I felt really calm through almost all (except the technical stuff) and came out feeling at peace with how it went. Don't sweat if you don't know an answer right away, I found that a lot of answers came to me as I got more warmed up in each section. Also don't overthink it or look up questions after you finish - there's nothing you can do now! Just let yourself feel good for a little that you studied really hard and finished a hard af exam! If you have to retake after getting your score, then you can face that when it comes but for now YAY
Good luck to everyone still studying!! Happy to answer any q's to the best of my ability
