I took my first Kaplan FL#1 practice test with a headache earlier and I seem to have struggled quite a bit. I had a hard time with the whole computer reading + writing notes on paper. Do you guys have any advice on how to go about organizing myself better for doing the passages?

Every question or at least most questions I got wrong dealt with an organization issue rather than a knowledge of prior material, so I feel its the method of taking the test that's messing with me right now.

I'm aiming for a 32-33 range because my GPA is as of right now a 3.82 and my EC are pretty much set[research,volunteer,tutoring,leadership,etc.]. My MCAT is going to be on June 16, and I am applying this year, do you guys think I should push it back til the first week of july?[by that time I'd be doing summer research about 8-3 or so]

Any advice will be much appreciated

different things work out for different people

that is precisely the reason you practice

I saw some people trying out entire discretes as a packet then move on to the passages and vice versa.

Other than that, I haven't seen much useful tactics.

Practice with a few more CBTs. You'll get used to it. I had the same awkward "how do I write and click and everything all at once"? issues. Just practice, practice, practice.

In terms of organization, what do you mean? You don't like attacking passages in the order they come or you like finding discretes or what?
