I just took AAMC sample test on 8/19 and scored a 500 (125/126/124/125).
I took the NS FL 1 on 8/4 and scored a 499 (124/124/125/126) which was better than the NS diagnostic I took on 4/5 and scored a 491 (121/123/123/124)
I take my exam Sept. 27 and I am scared that I will not be able to improve my score. I started studying in May but got serious about it mid-June I finished the Kaplan books mid august and have been using the q-packs, Anki mile down deck, and science simplified videos on youtube since then. I work about 24 hours a week, while now doing 16 credits in school. My mom is recovering from heart surgery (T-bar subclavian bypass from an aortic dissection/aneurysm she had years ago) and my dad just recently got diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer and is going through chemo and radiation so I am under a lot of stress right now. I really do not want to push back my test date but how do I improve? I can dedicate at most 3.5 hours a day to MCAT prep. What really helped you guys improve and get over that 500 hump? My goal is 510-512 but I would be happy with a 507-508.
My GPA is 3.76 and I am a biomedical science major with clinical experience as an EMT and lots lots of volunteer hours. I plan on doing PCT after I finish classes in the fall and I will be applying next cycle.
