Decline of Verbal Score

Right now I feel a little down, to see why, observe this trend:

Kaplan FL3 verbal: 14
FL4 verbal: 13
FL5 verbal: 12
AAMC 6R verbal: 11

They are taken in chronological order, so the bar graph score progress report from Kaplan show a perfect linear descent in VR score. I almost want to skip taking AAMC 7 just to ensure I get a 10 on the real thing.

Anyone experiencing similar things? Just me?

i didnt start quite as high, but peaked then started to come down.

i'm attributing it to just getting sick of verbal reasoning in general, and not caring as much as i did before.

But a 14 in VR? Holy crap man...

I like your new avatar, but you need to work on the background color a little more

I'm feeling like you. I started with a 13 on the diag and I have been varying right in the 12-13 range until I hit 11 on 4r and now my timing seems a little off too. I thought verbal would be a sure thing for me, but now I am much more confident in my sciences.

Thanks for the sarcasm. Yeah, I am another one of those people who whine about a perfectly decent score. But, just because 11 is a good score doesn't mean one must be satisified with it. My goal is at least a 12 on verbal and it seems I am regressing from it. That's the source of my frustration and the intent of my post. Don't know why you find it so disagreeable.

Just a little good natured teasing

i am dropped too from kaplan i feel its bc kaplan gets predictable i feel like i have a second hunch to their answer
after doing over 7 of their FLs i think we all kaplan people get trained to think like them
i dunno thats just what i tell myself feel free to believe this ineer voice of mine or throw it out

Then sorry about jumping to conclusion. Perhaps this is why my score is becoming low, I am just not picking up on the tone of the passage. 🙂

Different GIFs have different pallets, you might try messing with the options, although if you're using mspaint you are pretty much screwed.
