C/P: About on par with some of the easier Kaplan FLs. Felt that I had to do a ton of number crunching, but process of elimination helped a ton when I got a number that did not round perfectly. Not the m0st difficult C/P section I've done, but far from the easiest. Slightly more difficult than the scored FL.
CARS: First time I ever finished this section. Some questions/answers were a bit convoluted and difficult to process, but I think it was easier than the scored FL. What really bummed me out was how boring some of the passages were--nothing tanks my focus more.
B/B: Probably the easiest section for me. A good amount of rote memorization and experimental reasoning, with the tougher questions coming from the latter. About on par with the scored FL.
P/S: I'm not sure how I feel about this section in retrospect. A lot of rote memorization seemed required, but most of the answers choices were easy to eliminate. The passages were longer than expected, with fewer figures than I've encountered in the past. I also felt that the scale teetered towards sociology more so than psychology, so that was new to me. Probably the most difficult P/S section I've encountered, but I generally score well (129-130). More difficult than the scored FL, but on par with most Kaplan exams surprisingly.
Overall: I'm so happy to be done with this exam. I skimmed through the forum, and I don't think I studied as diligently as you all. All I did was read the Kaplan books over the summer, use the MCAT question of the day app on my phone to go through random questions and refresh on topics in my free time, did a good amount of the Khan Academy passages, and took Kaplan FL 1-3 (507/505/506), Next Step Prep FL 1 (513), and the AAMC scored FL (509--scored a 125 on CARS which tanked my score). After it's all said and done, I'm not sure if studying had the biggest impact on my scores. I felt like my performance was determined by the already countless hours I had committed to pre-med courses and the thoughts and conversations I've had with friends, colleagues, professors, etc. To those studying for the MCAT: have faith in yourselves. You've been implicitly preparing for this throughout your studies. You'll reap what you sow. On another note: avoid burn out! I gave myself a few days a week to decompress and let information be integrated into larger semantic networks. I spent the day before the exam sleeping, indulging, and being an absolute sloth--no regrets! All went fine.
Congrats on finishing everyone, and if you're feeling doubtful, this is the interaction I had with my dad after the exam:
Dad: You should be very proud of yourself.
Me: I just don't feel that way. There are so many doubts, so many things ahead.
Dad: Well I bet I'm positive of one thing: You're closer than where you started.
You all are gifted. Let's be honest. If the thought of practicing medicine and changing human lives is what sets your heart on fire, you will find a way to reach your goals. Hoping your futures are filled with those white coats you deserve.
(Also, I'm tipsy, so please forgive the ranting).
