I'm looking for some advice on how to spend these last two days before the test. I have taken all the AAMC exam except for 10 and 11. I have been happy with my averages so far (ranging from 33-36, with 36 and 35 on the last two I took) and I don't want to lose confidence before my exam. Confidence is key for me. I tend to get intimidated by important exams and my performance suffers.

Is the extra practice from 10 and 11 worth it? Should I just review content and my past practice tests? Any advice?

If you are going to be intimidated by 10/11 don't you think the real test day jitters could get to you? I think you should be confident in your prior performance, which is great btw!, and just go into the test confident.

I don't mean to sound rude, but that's what came to mind when I read your post.


As for your question:
If I were in your position, I would take test 11 and then review it carefully the same day. If you score well then your confidence is going to be great going into the test. If you score lower than what you want I would then review it extra carefully and then tell myself, "Hey, at least you got these wrong today and now you are reviewing them so you wont get them wrong on test day" I am not sure if that will work for you but for me I try to look at each wrong question as one less piece of information or trick that could have tripped me up on test day.

Yes 10 and 11 should be taken....they have a lot of learning points not featured in previous aamcs especially on the bio.
