<p>I'll be doing the ADS test this weekend, and there are still a few things I'd like to know about:</p>
<pre><code> Is it solely multiple choice? Or are there any free response/essays?
About how long does it take?
Any tips on studying? I realize that the week before is probably far too late, but some preparation is better than none.

<p>It'd be awesome if someone that has already taken or knows something about this could help me out.</p>
<p>^^^when I took it, there were 130 multiple choice questions with 2 personal (short) essay questions. It’s about a 3 hour long test. As far as studying for it, this is impossible. To understand the scope of how the test is, put together every single AP exam made together (minus the language tests) and that is the selection of material you have to know for the test. So don’t bother studying for anything. When I took it there was even a question that was MCAT material…so it is definitely difficult. That being said, good luck! Just don’t expect too much (in terms of actually receiving a scholarship) unless you are a super-genius or close to one.</p>
<p>Awesome, thanks for the reply. I tend to do better than I think I should on standardized tests and such, so we’ll see how it goes (although now you’ve got me anxious :P). Probably won’t end up with much, but meh, worth a shot.</p>
