Hey guys, so I have a big question.
I've been studying for the MCAT for about 4.5 months now, and my test is on November 7th. But recently, I have started taking the full length AAMC tests and the results have been somewhat disappointing, which are:
AAMC 3: 10/7/10, AAMC 4: 10/9/9, AAMC 5: 12/8/10
I totally understand those are "above average" for overall performance, but I really wanted to hit a 33-34 (~11 in each section) when I first started studying to compensate for my lower GPA (cGPA 3.3-3.5), and I feel like my time is running out and I am at a lost to what to do. Also, as you can see, my weakness is in Verbal. Another thing is I have been unable to maintain a regular sleep schedule- And I am scared that come test day, I won't be able to function fully..
So the question I would like to ask is, what would you do in my case? Would you just go through with it and take it in November 7, or cancel the test and take the risk and try to find a spot for December and/or January? If I go through with it, I am planning on taking AAMC 7, 9, and 11 (already took 10), but doing this will exhaust all my AAMC material for a possible retake. Also, I am using TPR class material.
Thanks for any advice! Really appreciate the help you guys always provide me.
