Just took the exam today. It is probably the hardest exam I have ever taken. Hopefully never have to do this again.

Yea I took it too. Way harder than the practice one that ETS provided in my opinion.

Don't worry guys. We always underestimate how we performed. I'm sure you guys did fine.

Intrepidjss · 2009 November 8th, 02:40 AM

I think this test is not about how well I do. Its more about how bad the others do, since what really counts is the percentile. It is really a bad way to look at things, but yea.

eddiebarb · 2009 November 8th, 03:11 AM

Yea definitely. Was your test 175 questions like mine was?

Intrepidjss · 2009 November 8th, 11:31 AM

Yep. 175 it was. I was expecting 180, but there were only 175. I wouldn't complain. I think I left around 10-15 questions unanswered. But I did complete the test. Mostly I left two different scenerio questions in Experimental section because I was pressed for time.

My strategy: Went to the matching section first to boost my confidence and get going fast, but the matching section was pretty hard! It wasn't a breeze to say the least. Then after that I went to first section and started working from there. Did you see how many questions there were regarding Amino Acid structures? Wow. That was crazy.

When you signup for the test, ETS send a package. They have topics listed. Just study them. You'll do more than fine.

eddiebarb · 2009 November 8th, 11:28 PM

Yea it was nuts. I skipped a lot of questions, but there were several that I knew the answer immediately. I found myself with two answer choices remaining in a lot of questions as well. So if I picked the right answer for those, then I did well. If not, then I don't know.

For EZAZ you should know all of the topics cold. A lot of the questions are very subtle and you need to have a good working knowledge of the material or else you won't finish.
