I didn't do much of anything over the weekend...I probably skimmed a dabbled a little bit in my study guides from Mon-Wed...took a PT on Wed night...but didn't really focus on anything much until Thursday....night. I'm such a bad procrastinator - probably not setting a good example, so I am so grateful I passed. !!
Thanks. Did you already have a strong science background or did you just pick up a couple books, skim the material, and rely on you personal background? I've read through the whole section on Natural Science and I've been trying to gauge people's thoughts. If it's possible could you post what you remember (question wise) in the feedback section? cheersmate

No, science was definitely not my strong suit. I did not know the periodic table at all (some ppl said they memorized it, but I didn't and didn't feel the need to). This test is a hard one because although it may seem to be broad, it does ask some very specific questions. The Kaplan study guide is good, but be sure to look up all the bold terms so you really understand it. I felt that the Peterson's guide was a little more detailed than necessary...then again I think all Peterson's PT's are a little more in-depth than the actual tests. Hope this helps.
