When you've reached the "practice passage" stage of your MCAT studying

[csx]

about how many PP's questions or passages (if you prefer to count that way) would you say you cover a day??

by "PP" stage I mean by the time you are done with Content review and focus mainly on practice

I did 1 full section every other day (reviewing answers on alternate days) for ~5 weeks, then did 1 FL test every week (reviewing 1 section's answers every other day during the rest of the week) for ~5 weeks. Then took the real thing.

Doing 2 TBR chapters per day. Re-doing the physics one I did a month ago and starting Orgo, Gen Chem, and Bio. Averaging so far around low 80%s.

Dreamstoo I can't PM you, I guess because of your settings, but I remember you saying you were taking the September 18th exam in the NYC area (no I'm not a stalker, I just recognize you because of the Kobe avy and yes I am a Laker fan). Are you no longer taking it then? I ask because I'm dying to try to get a NYC center for this date.

And OP to answer your question. It depends on how much time you have. I think doing two full sections is tough, but doable and is a good pace. Could you elaborate how much time you have left?

Sorry man, I'm still attempting the MCAT on the 9/18. Also my testing center is about an hour from NYC (my preference).

Got it. Appreciate the quick response. If anything changes (unlikely), let me know. Thanks

I have just under 2 months. So idk...100 passagebased Q's a day? 200? More? less? Not sure where to fit in reviewing in that time slot for ones i got wrong

Also good luck on getting the right test center.

You're in a really good place if you have 2 months specifically devoted to questions. One more question, what material are you using for the passages?

I was using the R versions of old MCATs so just >100 Q/section * 3 sections/week
And make time to review. Even if it means doing less questions. You won't improve if you don't know what you're doing wrong.

I was doing 9-12 TBR passages a day and 2-3 verbal passages every other day (kind of wish I had done more). Also did 12 FLs over the span of 1.5 months

Kind ofwish you did more Verbal passages or TBR?

I did every TBR passage, I was saying that I would've like to do more verbal practice.

I'm doing 7 TPRH workbook passages + 3 TPRH verbal passages per day. Plan is to finish the book by the end of October.
For me, the post-game analysis takes the longest. I'm too neurotic to skip the answer explanations even if i'm comfortable with the topic.
