I was super worried about the reading comp for some reason, i was terrified of seeing that score but I ended up with vocab 94 , Math 99, RC 99 and Science 91. Gotta get started on that essay now!! Hope you get yours tomorrow!

Oh congrats!! I'm really nervous now, I think I did the worst in Science some of those questions were pretty tricky. Hopefully I get it tomorrow I don't think I can wait much longer!

Ugh I still haven't heard anything! I'm about to just go camp out by my mailbox and wait for it. When you recieved yours was it the actual results or was it just a letter from Shadyside telling you what you got?

omg I cant believe you still have not heard!!! Iv been worried and waiting to hear when you got your It was a small normal sized envelope that said UPMC shadyside in the upper left hand corner. Inside was a single peice of paper that lists your % on each subject and at the bottom it says something like "you are now aloud to apply this letter does NOT mean that you are accepted because shadyside has the right to choose the most qualified applicants..." Hope you hear soon!! dont worry I still havnt sent out my app yet, hoping to send it out on Friday.

Is anyone else taking the exam November 21st? I know that it is the last possible day, but I wanted to ensure that I got enough study time in. I hope the 2010 class doesn't fill up before I get my results and apply. I'm going to send in my application the day I get my results back.

I have decided if I don't receive it today I am going to call them. My check for the test cleared so I'm not sure why I haven't gotten my letter yet. Unless they just didn't send them out and finish them at the same time, I can't think of any other reason why I don't have it yet. But it's stressing me out.

I would say you got some valuable study time in! I only had a few weeks to study since I chose to take mine last month. All I can say is good luck and make sure you know your science! Plus look over some electricity vocab like ohm and amperes.

Wow, I hadn't anticipated electricity questions, thanks! I am starting to study science next week, I have been trying to get the Math portion down pat. What was the easiest section for you, in your opinion?

There were only a few electricity questions maybe 3 at the most so you don't have to study a lot of it. But I thought the math and reading was the easiest. Math was just very basic stuff I felt nothing to hard. And the reading i thought was pretty easy but a couple of the questions were tricky you had to pay attention that you read it right.

I'm glad that I found this site. I'm applying to the Spring '10 start date and am so nervous about the test after reading the comments. Any ideas or suggestions from those that have taken it? I'm taking it on the 13 of Nov, anyone else? Is parking an issue? I'm not from Pittsburgh and have no clue about parking or traffic in the city.
