Can I improve from a 20 to 26 in four weeks?

[danielbryanheel]

If so, how should I go about studying each section so I can be competitive for DO schools?

Breakdown (PS, VR, BS): 7,6,7

Also debating whether or not to take TPR's "holiday hell" course which starts this week. Would the 2k+ be worth it?

MCAT is scheduled for January 13th.

Thanks!

Is that your AAMC full length score?

Don't trust a non-AAMC score for a decision this important. As much as I don't want to say it, if that is your AAMC full length score, then I think you would be better off putting that money toward the 2015 requirements. I have seen 20's turn into 26's, and even 30+ scores. Just not in that time frame, sorry to say.

How much studying have you done already? If none, then maybe you can go from a 20 to a 26, but if you haven't studied then you might as well give yourself a better shot with the MCAT 2015.

A major reason to squish in the January MCAT is for people who have studied a lot, and the MCAT 2015 is different.

If you have studied a fair amount, then a 6 point bump is very unlikely.

Also, it is hugely important if that is an AAMC score or something else.

Decided to take the 2015 MCAT. Thanks again.

FYI if you're scoring that low you should really focus on content review.
