498 and 497 AAMC FL Scores

[whirlpool159]

So I took the first AAMC practice exam and scored 124/123/127/124, 498
On the second one I scored 123/124/124/126, 497
Should I void my exam tomorrow? Applying to DO schools as well.

If I were in your situation, I would void my score and either take a later MCAT (August) or delay applying to the next cycle. The reason is that it seems that you'r having some trouble with content on the exam and perhaps even the structure of the exam, which would typically require more than 1-2 months of studying to remediate and that point, may or may not be around your target score.

By delaying your application - you can do well on the MCAT since there's no stress in terms of time (seeing that you did well on the first time rather than retaking couple times is generally preferred) and you have the chance to improve your ECs, find a job and make some money, etc.
