Hey everyone.
So I took my first mcat in April, I studied a little, but went in mostly cold.
Score: PS/verbal/BS
7/12/10 for a 29.
Since I only really answered the gen chem questions and guessed on all the PS questions,barely prepped for the bio, and guessed on all the orgo I knew I could do better.
Went back home and studied PS and did some heavy content review with TPR and Kaplan.
Practice tests were:
PS/verbal/Bio
AAMC 5: 30 7/11/12
AAMC 7: 31 10/11/10
AAMC 8: 30 10/10/10
AAMC 9: 32 11/11/10
AAMC 10: 33 8/11/14
AAMC 11: 28 8/10/10
On the exam, I felt punished by the PS, had no time to go over my questions, had a lot of algebraic manipulation and I guessed on questions from at least 3 passages, with the stupid errors I make on chem, that could easily make me fall to an 8.
Verbal was ok, but the passages were boring to me and stupidly technical. I hate technical.
Bio passages were fine, but I had a bunch of orgo stuff that I had not prepped for and I know of at least 7 questions I missed for sure. I felt awful leaving the testing center. I felt like voiding my exam,
So basically, I want to retake before the new exam comes out. I am hoping I could get some seats for jan 23, because I live in a really rural area.
Can anyone comment on whether this is a good idea, adcoms tell me whether they would hate to see it?
I really really need the help. I can't get another 28.
Thanks.
