hi all i took the test 06/17/02. I got a 240/97 which i am VERY happy with. I studied for 30 days straight with 3 days off. I studied about 8 hrs a day. I did 30% of qbank on which i averaged a 77%. I read the kaplan big white review books each twice, read first aid a few times, especially in the last week before my exam. I did not do a kaplan practice except the diagnostic (which i got a 48% on :-)).
I felt like crap after the exam. i thought that I failed but that is a norm for me. people say i think i fail and then i do well.
I think that the main thing to remember is that up to 20% of ur test will not get counted due to experimental questions. if u see something exceptionally hard or way out there, guess and move on - dont dwell on it.
Bring yourself a good lunch and take your time eating it - i was lucky in that i had some classmates who took lunch at the same time and we talked about non-test stuff which was great.
* check over your answers before you finish a section - i noted 4 questions on one section (the last) for which I clicked an answer - say "b" - for some reason the answer below got clicked *
any questions post here. good luck all. stay calm and you will do it.
