    Non-trad: Old MCAT vs New MCAT

    So, suppose one took the MCAT in undergraduate under the old test and performed poorly or average (or in my case, well with what I perceive to be a test day fluke terrible section that I still can't really explain). Now, suppose that the person has a fully funded international opportunity (e.g...

    Hi! Fellow retaker here :) I just finished taking the AAMC scored test for the second time (first time in March) and I got a 514 (129,127,129,129). I want to be happy with it but I'm not sure what this score really means as I have already taken it before. I pretty much didn't remember any of...

    NS 5 compared to AAMC scored

    I saw someone post awhile back that NS 5 is very similar to the AAMC scored. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this? Similar in the fact that it took passages/concepts and my AAMC score will be inflated when I take it, or similar in terms of difficulty/passage length etc..

    Is using one set of prep books enough?

    I was planning to take the MCAT in January, and I was thinking I would go through the EK books (hopefully before November), then do many practice tests in the months after, and look at kaplan for reference to questions I missed if ek didnt have the content.

I have a 3.82 cGPA and my science GPA is just as high. I shouldn't retake the test, right? It won't limit me from getting II's and interviews...
