So, in the little remaining time I've got, I'm going to learn from my mistakes and focus on the science, starting with human body science (!!) and then scientific reasoning, then physical science, then life science.
I can't believe I did so poorly on the human body section.
Although I was telling myself to take time, I was taking this test between 8-10 at night after a full work day...excuses, excuses...and I did rush on some.
For Reading...allowed 58 minutes...took 40.
For Math...allowed 51 minutes...took 31.
For Science...allowed 66 minutes...took 36.
For English...allowed 34 minutes...took 15.
Some specific things I noticed I need to review while taking the test are:
-picking the "main idea" of the passage; I got a lot of these wrong, WTH?
-Converting numbers written like CMXXIX to their Arabic equivalents
-embryonic germ layers and what they become
-brain parts and their functions, i.e. which part controls balance?
-bond types and melting points (ugh, chemistry!)
-"first ionization energy" whatever that is
-cell types that produce "soluble" antibodies
-nuclear reactions...I want to say there were like 3 of these on there
-their version of scientific reasoning and the terminology that goes with it
-the term "simple subject"
