hey everyone.
I have been studying extremely hard for the mcat these past 2 months. This is my second time taking the mcat. I got a 27 last year (P-11, V-5, B-11) but I think I did poorly mostly because of the way I studied last time ( I never took a practice test). This time around I am determine to do well so I have been hitting the books hard. Just to give you guys some ideas of what I have done to study for the MCAT I have included a list of all the materials I have reviewed so far.

Practice test 3-10
My practice tests scores have ranged from 32 to 38 with my mcat average around 35. I have exhausted all of my mcat practice materials and my exam is on the 21st. So I was wondering what else should I do to prep? Should I take the Berkely CBTs? I want to take tests that accurately mimic the actual MCAT. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Also on a side note- by taking the mcat on the 21st I wont get my test scores until the 22nd of september. I have already submitted my AMCAs form and I have gotten secondaries from schools. Should i submit my secondaries before I get my new MCAT score?
