Hey Y’all, I need some advice and this is going to be a long post so thank you to those of you who read the whole thing lol. I started studying in late May of 2020 in the hopes to take the MCAT in late July but when July came I did not feel prepared to take it so I pushed it back to January 25th, 2021. Honestly, I didn’t study the amount I should have in the fall semester and I regret that now but some studying is better than nothing I guess. I have been studying hard since mid December. I am just disappointed about the fact that my scores have barely moved and at this point they are nowhere near what I want to get (510+). These are the breakdowns for all the FL’s I have taken:
NS diagnostic: 489 (122/119/121/127)
NS1: 499 (125/124/124/126)
NS2: 501 (124/127/125/125)
NS3: 500 (125/125/125/125)
NS4: 501 (125/124/126/126)
AAMC FL1: 496 (124/124/124/124)
NS5: 502 (125/124/126/127)
NS6: 501 (125/126/123/127)
AAMC sample: (36/59, 40/53, 39/59, 45/59) ~ 502 ( I felt really good when taking this and I am disappointed that I got around the same score I have been getting)
I watched a bunch of KA videos back in the summer when I did all my content review and I am doing Milesdown Anki (bc I have started AAMC material I have not been keeping up with them recently), I also have UWorld (I have about 830 Qs left). I have started a little bit of the AAMC material as well
I guess my main question is should I push my exam back? and also how can I bring my score to where I want it to be? I want to take it in January because I am on break so I don’t have to worry about classes (I have also been studying since May so I kinda just want to get it over with). My spring semester is gonna be pretty hard and I don’t want to compromise my GPA but I also don’t want to slack off on MCAT prep to the point that my scores get even lower. Should I just risk it and take the exam on the 25th and hope for the best? Do y'all think that it's possible to go from 502 to 510 in less than 2 weeks?
I am incredibly disappointed with how I am doing and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. PLEASE lmk if you have any advice/tips or if you have been in the same position as me. THANK YOU!
