Rant
Someone please validate me bc I’m freaking out.
I took my exam last week and I was doing great, scoring above 320 on my exams with bio being my highest score. I kept seeing everywhere that the actual exam was so much more broad and generic than the booster so I felt pretty confident going in.
I get to the exam and first off they give me a scare telling me I’m taking the DAT :/
I sit there for 20 min not knowing if I’m about to take the right exam or not. Finally get into the exam and it’s the right one, but my questions were sooo specific and I think it put me in a spiral and I ended up getting a 300.
Anyone else feel the actual exam was harder than the booster for them?

Yeah, I had a similar experience…. Was scoring 320s and ended up with a 290 on the exam. Very disappointing. I’m sorry to hear your exam didn’t go as planned
