I just got done with the test and my score went down a good six points from when I took 4r a few days ago...i didn't even do this poorly on those much more difficult tpr practice exams. I know some people thought it was easy??? I'm totally freaking out...sorry I can't help it 🙁 . Please tell me that my crap score is not representative of the way mcat tests are written now....i knew I should've listened to my friend and not taken this test because it was too old...i'm bummed 🙁 . The style of writing is different from more recent tests, right?

Hey Poppytart!

If you scored higher on 6R than you ever have, than don't overthink it!! Just take the score and run with it!

The truth is at this point you want to tell yourself "I have studied really hard and have done my best and I am in great shape for test day". This way, not matter what they throw at you, and bear in mind, they may throw some really wacky hard test passage at you, it does not derail you and you maintain your focus throughout the test. 😎

I know what you mean though, I found the bio a little hard on 9R, and was just being stubborn during the test to 'figure it out', meanwhile the clock was ticking and I was spending like 12 min on a passage (it was the ob, bone reabsorption passage, which for some reason, 1 only got one right on!).
Thats where your point comes in and I know what you mean. I had just reviewed all of that bone resorption stuff and would not "let the passage go" I felt guilty, like I was throwing away easy points that I should be able to get. But we have to be careful not to get caught in a passage and then run out of time... 😱

I completely agree that if you feel completely unsure after you come out of a test, take that feeling and throw it out! Because you can still do really well!! It all depends on what version of the exam you got, the curve etc..😀

Alas, I think we are set for Saturday and frankly, I am looking forward to it! Bring on that 30!! GOOD LUCK 😍

Yeah your definitely right...we have prepared A LOT and thats the most we can do. I can't wait until the ride home from the mcat when this is all over! yay 😀 ! Thanks for the booster and I wish you nothing but good luck saturday!

I'm going to do some more brisk reviewing...and I really need to start looking over some stuff for the writing section! I am going to study friday morning and then stop around 2 or 3...and relax! How about you? How are you planning on spending the next few days?

Hello Poppytart!

Yeah, I know what you mean, I am visualizing that ride home on Saturday and can't wait to pack up all that MCAT books and get them out of my site!!

WRT the next few days, I would like to go over PT9, I just took it yesterday, so I would like to review it and as for the next few days, I was wondering about that myself. EK says not to do any more studying after Wednesday, i.e. take two days off, so months ago I thought thats what I would do, now I have narrowed it down to just taking Friday off, but also wonder if I should spend a half day Friday?

I think the key at this point is NOT to do any NEW questions, because you don't want to de-rerail your confidence at this point. So my focus for today will be reviewing PT9 and over the Wednesday and Thursday will be to REVIEW all the AAMC exams (like I have not looked at PT3, 5, 6 since I did them).

Friday, I think I will just go through the KAPLAN Flash Cards, again, very lightm nothing to intense. Though I have no idea how I am going to sleep Friday night, I think I will be just way too wired..... 😱

When you mean brisk reviewing, of the avalanche of materials, what are you going to review? Yes, the writing sample stuff needs to be reviewed as well...

Okay, just a few more days to go we can do it!!!! 😀 😀 😀
