Just finished AAMC8 today and had a 3 point score drop from AAMC 4,5 and 7 of 33. Scored a 30 on AAMC 8 with a distribution of (10,10,10). I was originally super frustrated with 7 because it was already 2.5 weeks before my MCAT and I hadn't significantly improved. AAMC 8 just happens to be an even bigger blow. I worked my tail off covering topics I wasn't comfy on and doing practice sections with TPRH Verbal and SW for the past 2 days between AAMC 7 and 8.
I felt totally crushed during the PS section (which is usually my stronger-ish section--although debatable because it went from 12,11,11). Usually, after reviewing answers, I'll see that I made a couple simple mistakes I probably shouldn't have made which would have made quite a difference to hit my goal of 13 (not so much with AAMC7). This time, I'm briefly went over the PS section and was just like " Okay yeah no, it didn't even occur to me". In all the past AAMCs, I always felt my goal of 35 was within reach...it was always a few questions here or there I shouldn't have missed. I was also slowly improving on Bio, which was my glaring weakness.
Just seems like everything tanked for me....especially PS. Not sure what to do anymore..can't cancel either because the date has passed. Even upon looking through AAMC 8, most of the time, I'm thinking "how the hell would you even study for that?!?!?!". What should I do from here on out till 9/6 to hit my goal of 35?????
