Advice for January MCAT

[markovchn123]

Hi Everyone,

I'm registered to take the MCAT in January, so that leaves me with a little over 6 weeks to prepare. So far I have taken the following practice exams in order

Kaplan 1: 499
Kaplan 2: 500
Kaplan 3: 501
TPR demo: 504
AAMC sample: C/P: 73% CARS: 89% B/B: 71% P/S: 88%, total: 80%

I took the AAMC sample before I did the question packs (that was stupid) but so far I have the following scores on the question packs

Physics: 82% Chem: 88% Bio 1: 73%

So based on what I have so far, after this week I will have a solid 5 weeks to study with no distractions (no work, school, obligations other than spend some time with family/friends). Therefore I want to know what practice exams you would all recommend and how I should go about studying. Should I just do exams and practice packs? Should I take time to do content? I just want to know what you think would be the best way to maximize the time I have left and based on where my practice scores have been what score range do you guys think I'm at so far?

Thanks

I am in a very similar boat as you... I have taken a couple Kaplan Test in order:
Kaplan 1: 497
Kaplan 8: 504
Kaplan 2: 500
Kaplan 9:500

I am going to do as many aamc questions as I can get my hands on the next month and find what topics I am weak in.... I have all of the Q packs and AAMC material so that is what I am going to focus on, plus maybe a couple more kaplan exams.

I wanted to do all of the EK exams but I also heard that the NS 4 and 5 were very good but I think there's not enough time to do all of them considering the fact that it takes a solid 2 or 3 full days to really go over one exam.
