I actually took it in September 2019, but forgot to make a post. I was so over it mentally and physically.
I will say that not everyone can only use a week and a half of studying for up to 12 hours a day. I wish I could’ve had at least a month but this was after the summer session where I was taking classes and working full time, so I had no time to study. I also rescheduled my test date once, so it was my only shot.
I'm the type of student that crams/procrastinates (bad habit i know), but it works for me because I learn and retain better under pressure. (weird idk)
I got a 84.7% overall which was in the 94th percentile.
Reading: 89.4%
Math: 87.5%
Science: 83.0%
English: 75.0 %
What helped me the most was a study group on Facebook and the material was FREE
Below is my post from the group
"my first attempt and i scored at 84.7 (advanced). i only studied for a week and a half for 6-12 hours a day.
i only purchased the mometrix book but i only had time to read half of it and did all the practice tests. i scored higher on the real test than in the practice (78-80 on the practice). youtube and files from this group helped me the most.
reading: my highest score. carolyn mcallister on youtube. i watched all of her videos and took notes.
math: brandon craft on youtube. i watched all of his videos and wrote down and went through the problems. i also looked at his mixed review and took his practice test on his website. the highest math i have taken is statistics so i was able to understand very well.
science: no matter what anyone said i could not follow crash course and khan academy is too boring for me. i used bozeman science on youtube and i watched the videos that corresponded with the topics on the kelly file. that study guide really makes everything less stressful so you can efficiently study. i also took notes as i watched his videos. previously i have taken anatomy physiology chemistry and microbiology with all As and a B in physio.
english: my lowest score but elizabeth tran’s file was really helpful and also nurse cheung’s notes on her website.
i also used pocket prep but not religiously and the questions were way harder than on the actual test. i never purchased any of the practice test from ati either."
