Hi everyone,
I'm in a bit of a predicament and I'm not entirely sure what I should do about it. I'm taking my MCAT August 5th (which is roughly 3 weeks away) and I 100% know I'm not ready to take it. I've barely studied for it because this summer turned out to have a lot of unexpected things happening and I didn't discipline myself as much as I should have. I can't reschedule for a later date because none of the locations are within reasonable distance for the limited means of transportation that I have or the dates conflict with my move-in days for dorms.
It's also too late for me to cancel with a refund so I'm debating whether I should just take as many practice exams as possible now to somewhat prepare and then take the exam a second time in January and extend my Kaplan course which is online self-paced. I think I'll be able to study better during the semester than during the summer because in general I'm more focused and organized. I feel terrible having wasted the money on this first test (and probably also on a course extension if that's even possible?), and I feel so discouraged going into it so underprepared. Any advice or uplifting words would be greatly appreciated.
