Kaplan Exam Advice

Hey! I am taking the Kaplan on September 20th, so two weeks from today!!! I am FREAKING out. At my university you either pass or fail, no matter what your gpa is. I currently have a 4.0 gpa, so I have all of the available points academically. I really need to pass this. The main section I am worried about it the math only because it is my worst subject. Could someone please give me some ideas/areas to focus on in the math and science sections? I have been reviewing the Kaplan entrance study guide, but I know it covers all of the entrance exams so it is much broader. Thank you in advance for any help!

Hello

I recently took the Kaplan in the beginning of August and I too was freaking out about it. Math is also my worst subject but it turned out to be my highest score. Focus on fractions- working with 2 and 3, also know how to convert percents and ratios. There are also dosage questions on there so go over some of those problems. The science portion is very specific and focuses on physiology. Go over the heart, respiratory, immune, the blood, GI, kidneys etc. You are able to take breaks in between so I would recommend doing that. I took the first 2 sections then took a break- went to the bathroom and walked around a little and returned to my test. Just breathe through it and you will do fine!
