AAMC's expire in a week, MCAT in 3 weeks

Recently I have obtained access to TPR online content (by a method which does not violate any policies or laws of course) which includes AAMC's but apparently it expires Friday (May 18). My MCAT is May 31.

I basically am doing a 3 week study for the MCAT thing, which will probably turn out badly but it is too late now. I have briefly gone through EK Bio, but that is it.

At this point, I don't want to waste the AAMC's so I am planning on doing a marathon of practice tests this week in order to make use of them.

I am looking for other suggestions to utilize these materials as best as possible. I have found that I am able to save the AAMC tests to my desktop, so I could continue studying and take them at a later date but there is no method to score the test (that I know of) which makes them rather useless to me.

Of the couple AAMC's that I have taken I am in the 24-26 range, and I really would be thrilled about a 29-30 on the real thing.

What do you guys think is my best approach at this point. Any serious advice is greatly appreciated.

If you search around Google, you might be able to find answer keys to the AAMCs. They've probably been hashed and rehashed a billion times by now.

if you tell them that it expires right before the test date they usually will extend it so you can keep practicing.

Can you print them out?

You didn't hear it from me, and I'm not suggesting or condoning this type of activity, but you can find the AAMCs online. They will be PDF versions so you won't have the benefit of practicing with the CBT format, but it's better than nothing.

Again, I don't know where to find these things, and I didn't use them myself, but they are out there.

That would be what someone who paid for the class and is entitled to the content would do.... I am able to save the tests as PDFs right now with my access. Only issue was the key, but I suppose it has to be out there somewhere.

Seems like the best way to go is to save most of them to spread out of the next couple weeks and take them on paper then?

Also, how closely would you re-examine your practice tests? Is it likely that similar questions would be asked on test day or will the fact that it has been asked be a specific deterrent from them using that format again?

Thanks guys

From what I had read everywhere, you should definitely go over every problem in every test, no matter whether you got it right or wrong.

I'm confused. What do you need a key for? The answers?

I would say print them out and do them on paper.. Like someone else said, you can find the answers on the internet. At least for 3R-10R.
