Yeah, timing was fine for me on the test, I was just surprised with how many biology/biochemistry questions were on this test because I hadn't seen anywhere near this amount on previous exams I took for practice.

Just wondering what anyone thought about the chem GRE if you took it earlier today?

I do have the one they sent me and have the one they put up on the website. Additionally, I got a book that has 5 practice tests and downloaded one of the tests from the 1990s that someone here posted. I am reviewing pchem, inorganic, and analytical pretty quickly because I retained most of that information. It is just the organic I don't remember as much from. I was going to go through all of the chapter summaries in my textbook, but I realized it will be much more efficient to just study the reactions that appear most often on the exam.

Thanks for the study guide, it will definitely help me a lot in preparing for the test, which I'm taking in 2 weeks. Do you think that's enough time to get all of this down while just doing a little refreshing in inorganic, pchem, and analytical?

Alright, so I should be shooting for above 50th percentile on the subject gre to be considered at the schools I'm applying to. Also I believe I saw in a different thread that someone had mentioned the kinds of questions that usually come up on the subject gre for organic questions (what kinds of reactions are most common to be asked about). Now I can't find the thread again, does anyone know what kinds of reactions that are asked about most frequently on the test because I feel it would be better to get those down than to try to remember every organic reaction. Thanks.

Yes, I definitely do know what you mean about the stressing, but I was just wondering what score range I should shoot for as not to draw any red flags on my application because it seems like the subject gre is going to be pretty tough cuz i dont remember most of organic from freshman yr

Yes, I do know that the general GRE is one of the least important factors for admissions, but how important do you think the chem GRE score is? And what would be the minimum score I should be shooting for to be competitive at a top 10 program, e.g.? Or if there isn't a score I should be shooting for, what kind of score would be too low that they wouldn't look at me? Thanks for the help.

I have looked at the results page, but the problem is that most people just say accepted/rejected and rarely show stats like gpa, gre, research experience, etc., making it difficult to gauge where I stand.
