So how have you guys done so far on the aamc cbts?

 

[adillon]

AAMC 4:
PS: 14
VR: 12 (one question off from a 13!!!!)
BS: 15

That's awesome! how did you study for PS and BS? how much of practice did you do?

 

[Mark84]

AAMC #8- 34

Phys: 12
Verbal: 12 - One point off from a 13....boo
Bio: 10 WTF?! I usually get 12-13

Nothing pisses me off more than getting a lower score because you didn't do well in a section that you always do well in. Especially when the mistakes are stupid and simple. I am still trying to adjust from the Kaplan full lengths. I did have quite a few interuptions/ distractions during bio to account for it but still...

By the way I am seeing excellent scores on this thread. Killinsound some of those scores are obscene.

By the way I am seeing excellent scores on this thread. Killinsound some of those scores are obscene.

In a way, it's kind of a curse.

If I do as well as my practice tests, I'll be content.

If I do worse, then I'm going ot be dissapointed, but it'll probably be a good score anyways which means I'll have no reason to be upset.

I have a huge fear that i'm going to encouter weird stuff on the actual test and itll be nothing I know. haha

 

[GoldenSword]

finally started taking my full-length practices:
I just did aamc5R today, i was kind of surprised by my Bio
score which is much lower than what it should be based on
my topical practices;
PS; 11
VR; 7
BS; 9
tot:27

i'll take the cbt-3R this Saturday, and that's my first cbt ever. I'm kind of nervous because I tend to have more control over the material on the paper,
but I'm hoping my speed goes up reading stuff off the screen rather than bending my neck 90 degrees over the paper.

But then its the same for everybody, and youll still be higher than most lol... We should all be so lucky. 👍

haha. we will see.

my nervousness got to me last night and i got 7 hours of sleep (my usual is 9) and i was exhausted this morning

kaptest 3:

PS: 13 (i felt i shouldve gotten a 12)
VR: 13 (fluke fluke and fluke, i was half asleep for 1 passage and i think i guess on 3/5 questions for that passage)
BS: 14 (the only one i felt was accurate)

if i got this score on gameday i would cry and then by everyone an icecream cone. or maybe two.

 

[flimflam]

KFL 1: 7P, 11B, 11V: 29
KFL 2: 10P, 15V, 10B: 35 (if only the real thing...)
KFL 3: 10P, 11V, 12B: 33
KFL 4: 10P, 13V, 8B: 32 (wtf on bio?)

Dammit, I hate going down... crossing my fingers for tomorrow...

 

[killinsound]

jesus 15 on verbal
congrats!

 

[sexyman]

So after reviewing all of the bio in the kaplan book I still only got a 9 on AAMC 4. Damnit.

I got 6/12 in the organic, one of the passages was something that I am about to learn in Organic II this week.

Im trying to figure out how much getting 50% in organic brought me down from getting a 10.

 

[FutureDoc4]

Now I'm really worried
AAMC 10
12 Phys 8 Verb 14 Bio

The overall score is good but I dont know what's happening to my verbal score. I was sitting at 10-11 in AAMC exams for awhile. This is my second exam in a row with this happening.....I just want at least a 10 (hopefully 11 on verbal). Does anyone have any suggestions on what is going on?

 

[sexyman]

Those are some sick scores either way. Come test day you just need to be confident and execute the verbal you'll be fine.

 

[FrickenhugeMD]

Just took AAMC 8, and im a little disappointed, but at the same time satisfied. Some of the scores on here sure can make you feel bad about how you are doing, I'll tell ya...

anywho, here it is

AAMC 8: 9p 10v 11b (30)

My goal is 34, and Im hoping to be able to pull myself up to that by test day. Im still not pulling through on the physical sciences section, but I just got some kaplan flash cards so hopefully those will help drill some of those concepts in

 

[CATallergy]

Now I'm really worried
AAMC 10
12 Phys 8 Verb 14 Bio

I also thought aamc 10 verbal was unusually tough -

 

[GymClassHero]

AAMC 7

11PS 12VR 11BS 34

Finally a little improvement after scoring a 32 on 4, 5, and 6...but it's kind of frustrating that in every section I only needed one more right answer to go up a point.

 

[sexyman]

How can you tell if you got one more right you would go up a point. I take the AAMC's through kaplan, I can't seem to find the scale...

Nevermind....I found it

but with that logic, should I be worried when I am barely into a category as well?

 

[killinsound]

where are the AAMC cbt scales?!?

and yes, it works both ways

 

[DiverDoc]

and yes, it works both ways

go to e-mcat.com and click on the "how is the mcat scored" tab. At the top of that page, there is a link to their scales.

 

[FutureDoc4]

I think either my last or second to last or last full length before the real deal:

KFL#5
Phys 11 Verbal 11 Bio 15

MUCH happier with verbal, and I skipped a whole passage in Phys (whoops, don't want to do that in the real deal) so I am not too worried about that drop. Is anyone else going to bother to take more FL before the real deal this week or whenever right before they are going to take the exam? Just kind of not sure when to "cut myself off"

 

[RUKnight]

I also thought aamc 10 verbal was unusually tough -

I just dropped into the low 30's also on the CBT-10 from high 30's on every test.

PS 11 V 8 BS 13 32


It isnt that the verbal passages are harder themselves, its the curve on the 10 is tougher. My last tests I didnt get lower than a 9 and got 11 twice .

AAMC 3R - PS 13 VR 11 BS 14 (38)
AAMC 8R - PS 13 VR 13 BS 15 (41)
AAMC 9R next week


3r was way too easy, and I feel unrealistic. To do well on a later test though, that was a great confidence booster 🙂

Yah, man. Sounds like you're ready to bend that test over the table. 😉

 

[Vanguard23]

What are these R's behind the AAMC's numbers?

 

[killinsound]

What are these R's behind the AAMC's numbers?

r = revised... i think everyone means to put CBT though.

 

[Vanguard23]

Ah, ok. How exactly is it revised? Just a collection of questions from that particular administration of the MCAT?(ie, one test from the many different versions on that administration). And is the AAMC score going to be more like my actual MCAT score? Because my Kaplan scores are doing ok while the AAMC ones have been sucking.

 

[DiverDoc]

Depending upon your spread, you might be able to estimate by finding a middle ground on your Kap tests vs. AAMC tests. Kaplans are slightly harder (PS section calculation intense), but there curve is far more generous than the later AAMC exams.

if this were a question on the mcat,

score on the actual mcat is most likely to have the highest correlation with:

a) aamc practive cbt exam scores
b) kaplan practice exam scores
c) an average of (a) and (b)

I think we'd all pick (a).

 

[sexyman]

I know I would pick a. How can you not??

 

[olemissbabydoc]

My latest practice test made me happy, although it's no where near the high 30's.

6PS 11VR 8BS - AAMC 8


If I can get a 25 or better on this thing, i'll be happy (considering the almost no prereqs)
Two weeks to go!

 

[killinsound]

Took AAMC 10 VR this morning and got owned!
VR = 9
that curve is ridiculous (90% = 11)

 

[Vanguard23]

I still don't see how my scores can be so off. I get maybe 68% right on the AAMC Physics section and get an 8, then I get 55% right on the Kaplan section and make like a 9+. That's just ****ed up. And yes, I know *why* I got such a higher scores; it's just ****ed up.

Yea i know, you get 4 wrong and its an 11

 

[Mark84]

Yea I took aamc 10 and got a 10 in the verbal section, definitely a tight scale.

Hi,
Great job. My first two diags that i have taken are pretty much the same score as yours. can you give me some feedback on how you have been studying which has obviously improved your score. I have only taken the first three tpr ones and my scores are under 20 still thanks for any help

 

[Vanguard23]

I talked to my Kaplan instructor. He said that Kaplan's FL's are more representative of the actual MCAT and that the AAMC CBT's are more like the MCAT in terms of the questions (ie, they are retired questions) but that the score is less relevant to the statistically more accurate Kaplan.

Thats good news for me. My Kaplan scores are higher in the sciences than AAMC. They are harsh on the scale !

Yeah, me too. Does anyone have any information to corroborate this?

 

[sexyman]

I would'nt be on that to be correct...

 

[Vanguard23]

I would'nt be on that to be correct...

That's why I asked for someone to corroborate it.

 

[sexyman]

haha I was just given my anti-corroboration

 

[Psychotropic]

Just started taking practice exams this past week (Exam on Saturday 4/7)

AAMC 3: PS: 13, VR: 10, BS: 12 --->35

AAMC 7: PS: 14, VR: 9, BS: 11 --->34

AAMC 8: PS: 14, VR: 13 🙄 , BS: 12 --->39


I'm not so concerned with the sciences. All I really want is a double digit verbal score. The 13 today kind of came out of nowhere. Most of my EK 1001 verbal exams have been in the 9-11 range. I don't know if it's me improving or if it was just random luck, but I guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow when I take AAMC 9. Good luck everyone.

 

[Richter915]

aamc 7 - 32
kaplan 4 - 35
kaplan 5 - 32

eh...as long as it's above thirty I guess...

 

[Niceguy23]

am I psyching myself out or is it true? Do verbals from AAMC 9 on and especially the real thing get gruesomly more difficult than AAMC 3,4,5,6 which i did okay on. I drastically dropped from 9 on AAMC 6 to 4 on AAMC 9, I also didnt finish two passages on 9. But is it true that the earlier verbals are just easier???and not representative of the mcat these days???

 

[googlinggoogler]

2/19 Aamc 5: 13ps 11vr 11 Bs --> 35
2/25 Aamc 7: 11ps 11vr 12 Bs ---> 34
3/24 Aamc 8: 13ps 9vr 13bs --->35
4/5 Aamc 9: 12 Ps 11vr 12bs -->35

i'll be so happy if i can get a 36 on the real thing..getting nervous..

 

[SnoPearl]

I remember someone saying that when you are going over your answers on the cbts, you can "change" your answer if you accidentally click on a new radio button, and the score ends up changing too.

 

[Vanguard23]

Yeah, you can. Sort of had my hopes up there for a while.😛
