Hello Everyone,
I realize this test date has not been opened yet but I hope to take it for a third time around then! Looking forward to other June test takers. Feels a bit like deja vu having started the 5/1/2009 MCAT Club =)

Hopefully third time is the charm!!

The cycle has been rough for me so I am hoping I have better luck next cycle. If any of you are curious about my last cycle feel free to check out my blog that contains plenty of my rants about my previous cycle. =)

I hope to see a lot of you active on here soon. I plan to start studying very soon! (hopefully next weekend?) until then I am going to create a study plan and course of action!!

I am really excited to meet you future June test takers and I really hope we can all support each other =)

So i just read your blog, i am in the same boat got 10 on ps and 10 on bs last june, but a 5 in verbal.
 
Hey,

I'm planning to take the MCAT on June 17th too. This will be my second time. First time, I got a 10PS/9BS/6VB. Verbal owned me big time! I'm hoping to get at least a 10 in Verbal, and raise my PS and BS.

Good luck to you all!
 
June 17!! i've already started content review and have done some Kaplan section tests. i made a schedule very similar to the 4 month schedule demonstrated by the sticky...

has anyone else started yet?
 
June 17th here I come... I've started to review myself!! PS and Verbal is what I'm worried most about! Anyone else?
 
Def planning on taking it June 17th, for the first time! but have been too afraid to ever take it, cancelled atleast 2x lol.. so yea. Hopefully this time fear won't get in the way of success =)
 
Same here, I'm just sort of scared taking a june 17 would be late to apply for rolling admission schools

Hey all I would taking my MCAT on June 17th. I have one question regarding TBR books. From couple of days I have been trying to search for TBR books on ebay as well as craiglist. But no help in finding anything.I would appreciate if anyone is selling TBR set, I am interested in buying it.Or is there any other website I should search. It would be great help if anyone could help because I am new to SDN.

Hi everyone! Just officially started studying March 1st. I wanted to start last month, but slacked off :) so this is sort of like my last attempt to effectively study for this test, hopefully it works out. **keeping fingers crossed**

Well guys, I just signed up for the 17th.
Turns out they're are exactly 100 days left. Its creepy to know this is the thread we're all going to be checking to see when the scores hit

I took the MCAT back in '07, got a 12, 10, 9, but my score just expiried after 3 years and 2 rejection cycles :(. My low GPA (3.4) means I'll have to bump that 31 up to a 34 or something:scared:

Anyway, get comfy guys, its going to be a long, stressful 133 days until the scores are released... urgh, just thinking of score-release day makes me sick to my stomach. There is something seriously unnatural about hitting "refreash" on your web browser and finding out how the rest of your life will turn out based on a single 2 digit number : |
 
Any of you using the new Kaplan books? How is the verbal book? Is it similar to Ek 101 VR..I need more verbal practice and I have done Ek and TPRH :(

I love the new Kaplan books! they are in color and have great diagrams which really help me learn conceptual information. however, in response to your verbal question, the Kaplan verbal book is nowhere near the EK 101 VR book...

and by saying "nowhere near EK", I don't mean it in a good way

So, I used all the AAMC tests. I'm doing Kaplan starting march 24 and ending may 29th, test is june 17th. When does every one think I should add in TBR 1,2,3?

also, should I buy any Gold Standards? If so, when should I do those???

I'd say 45 days prior to test date.

If you're going to take all of the Kaplan tests, I wouldn't suggest buying more than 2-3 of these (and one of them is free).

I'm signed up for this administration. My 1/29 results are okay, but I firmly believe there is room for improvement. I've also got tons of BR passages, four seemingly untouched EK 1001 books, a couple of AAMCs left, and old Kaplan material (FLs and section tests) that I need to get through. I'm also taking SN2ed's advice re "hat trick". :thumbup:

:luck: Good luck to my fellow '17ers!
