Guys, check this out - I did verbal test 5, and guess what I got? After experiences from 4 hard-fought battles :
Test 1 - 6
Test 2 - 8
Test 3 - 8
Test 4 - 7
Guess what I got? I got a scaled score of...
*Trumpet blare* Da da da na na da da!
7
Aw geez, I am feeling a bit suicidal. I would've thought that, seeing the performance of other people on this thread, I would've at least broken a 10 by now. But nooooooo, I keep getting stuck at 6~8. This is F***ed up. I'm useless I think I'm going to go kill myself now.
Or maybe I'll calm down, and keep practicing, and wait to see what my actual verbal score on the aamcs are before acting hastily. Yeah I think I'll do that.
Kind of hard to make it to medical school if you're dead huh? =D
You know... I took the test twice today just to see the result. And whenever I'm under timed conditions, I always get a 6~8. However, when I'm not timed, and I'm reading the passage as if I'm not timed, I always get almost every single question correct, because I'm enjoying the passage. Unfortunately, taking the tests as if I'm not timed usually results in me finishing the test in 2 hours, which is quite not allowed. Cuz it's like, when I'm timed, I'm so nervous, I'm like... wtf is the thing talking about? And I literally re-read the question 3~5 times, and all of the answers without absorbing a single piece of information. And when I'm relieved from any stress, I feel like I'm reading a magazine, and I'm enjoying it, and I'm like... oh wow, this is so easy, I'm absorbing everything. Any suggestions?
Cuz here's what happened :
Untimed - 11
Timed - 7
