So I finished content and took some 1/2 FLs and FLs.
NS 1/2 FL: 506 (126/123/128/129)
Altius 1/2 FL: 506 (127/126/127/126)
TPR Demo FL: 501 (125/123/125/128)
TPR FL1: 497 (124/121/125/127)
TPR FL2: 497 (124/121/126/126)
All Uworld (except CARS bc preset timing was weird): 70% for all sections (done before starting tests)-> 61% Bio, 63% Gen Chem, 68% Physics. rest >70%
Averaging about 65% on Daily JW CARS
Everything under timed conditions.
I still have an EK FL and will likely buy some NS exams to do before starting AAMC.
I was wondering if I can get some help with where I'm going wrong. For background, I did TBR (except CARS and P/S) and a pass through UWorld and I don't really feel that my content is lacking (but a sub 500 TPR does suggest that it is) so I'm reconsidering doing some more content review.
I feel that TPR CARS was really long because I have been doing JW and their lengthy passages were like 620-630 words while TPR CARS were all like 720+ from putting them into a word counter. In C/P, I generally know the idea, like Snells Law for example, but get bogged down on how to properly apply the knowledge and what incidence angles to use or other obscure passages that seem to warp C/P that are seen in Uworld and TBR.
I am feeling a bit distraught with the TPR FL because I feel like I should be breaking 500 at least. I test March 14, 2020 and plan to start AAMC late Dec/ early Jan. I am considering pushing my date a little further back to April, but I chose the 14th due to scheduling with work and family events. My goal is to get a decent score considering my GPA is not good and I am CA ORM.
