Advice on my situation?
I spent around 3 months (about 300 hrs) studying for my May 6th exam, practice scores were 504 on scored and 507ish on unscored. Got a 497. However, because of family issues, I have only been able to put in around 15 hrs since June to study. Starting today I can begin studying in earnest.
Do people think there is time to legit hit a 500? My practice scores on my TPR FLs all hovered around 498 to 499. Never got a 500 once. But once I did the AAMC tests, I felt a bit more confident. I mean, my very first TPR FL I got a 499 and then after 3 months I get a 497 on the real thing? I think I can improve, but with one month left, I need to just get back to my baseline that was before May 6th.
Thoughts? I am applying to DOs this cycle, have one interview this Friday actually, otherwise everything else I have yet to hear back. Today is the deadline for the refund, so i am really stressed. I am gonna do the e practice version of the MCAT (basically the 3 hr version) and see what that yields...
Personally, if I can get a 500, I would be in fantastic shape considering my GPA, etc.
