Why do you guys say so? Just curious. My numbers for NS exams are same as OPs and my unscored sample has similar overall % to OP but I was told on reddit (not sure how reliable info is over there) that I was in the 505 range based on my tests. My goal is 508+ like OPs as well.

@sasdoc212 Very curious to see how you do on AAMC 2, please update! And good luck!

Because of OP's score on AAMC materials. Third party exams are great for exposing content areas you need to brush up on and working on timing but aren't very indicative of the real thing.

Full disclosure these are my section bank scores after doing them a second time (first time was about 5 weeks ago) does that change my chances at a 508?

Not in my opinion. Your AAMC FL 1 is the basis for my confidence that you can score 508 on the real thing. If you get a 510 or so on AAMC FL 2, then you will likely score in the 507-512 range. Most people do score in the range of their AAMC FL average.

Additionally, the general consensus is that NS is "harder" than the real MCAT. So your being ball park on the NS exams also bodes well for you.

good luck!

AAMC full lengths are pretty predictive of your actual scores exam day, so I think you will hit your goal unless you have a meltdown. For example, mine were almost spot-on - I scored 1 point higher on the actual thing.

Most important thing is to review the tests and see where your weaknesses are!

Hi, Hope your exam went well!
Just wanted to see if you could share what you have done to prepare for the CARS section. Its my weakest section and no matter how much I practice, I seem to be hitting a wall. Could you please share what techniques worked for you? Thank you in advance.
