I'm taking the exam on the 15th of August and i do feel prepared for it. I think.

I have gone through all of Berkeley Reviews Physics and Chem section due to its difficulty and how the new PS is much harder.

I have also taken all of the GS exams and scored 10-12 on most of the PS and BS sections.

I've also gone through most of Chad's videos for chemistry and physics.

I also feel that i may have got a hang of the verbal reasoning finally as i just got a 11 on AAMC 9.

My practice AAMCs have been-

AAMC 7 - 33
PS - 13
VR - 8
BS - 12

AAMC 8 - 32
PS - 13
VR - 8
BS - 11

AAMC 9 - 37
PS - 15
VR - 11
BS - 11

I'll be honest and say I haven't studied much Biology considering I am a Bio major and have taken most of my major courses. Plus most of the Biology is experiment based which you really can't prepare for, you either do know "it" or you don't. I also haven't studied organic chem as I scored top 99 percentile+ in both orgo 1 and 2.

What would more beneficial? Going over the AAMC's i've taken again, go over the GS exams again, i didn't really go over them too much as I figured they aren't too representative of the AAMC and scored well on all the exams. Or going over all the passages in BR again for the PS section.

If you can, I would try and take a couple more AAMC practice exams. If not, who knows what would be most beneficial for you, but I would go over any thing that you feel uneasy about. For example, I felt uneasy about magnetism before my exam, so I went over the passages in TBR on magnetism. As for verbal, perhaps you have gotten the hang of it, but that is difficult to gauge from one good score, which is another reason why I recommend taking more AAMC practice exams if you can.

Thats a good point. My problem during aamc 7 and 8 verbal was that i was rushing through the passage to try and get to the questions. I ended up doubling back to the passage repeatedly and this not only slowed me down but i got more answers wrong. In aamc 9, i slow down my reading to actually comprehend what is going on, taking about 3 mins - 4 mins tops. then answering the Q's. It's amazing how many wrong answers you can eliminate if you get the gist of the passage. I'd be content with a 9-10 on the real MCAT vr. Im just worried about the PS section.

Why are you worried about the PS section if your practice scores so far have been excellent in that section?

I've watched several threads say things about a brutal PS section but who knows. This is the section I've studied most for and its shows thankfully.
