Ok...I am going to start this thread off with my own personal frustrations. For the last 3 1/2 years of College I have been busting my ass to get amazing grades and build up a fantastic CV/resume (not trying to say im hot **** or anything) so that when the time comes, I woul be able to apply to med school with confidence. This semester I have dedicated myself to studying for this MCAT, it being the final hurdle that I must jump over before I can actually start on the road to an MD. Now, 4 months later and 15 pounds lighter (no time for the gym) I do not feel as though I have prepared in an effective manner. I have been doing decent on the Kaplan tests (27-30's) and when i look back on my mistakes, most of them have been a result of carelessness. Today I took the AAMC test 9 with the hopes that I would kick its ass and build some confidence again, being less than 2 weeks from the real deal and all. I proceded score a 9 on the PS, a 6 on VR and an 11 (should have been a 12 but again carelessness on my part prevented this) on the BS section. in the PS section, stupid mistakes...in the VR, I started to dose off i think..... I cannot wait till August to take the test. I have invested so much of myself already this semester. All I want is a 30 so that i can enjoy my summer. I want all of this hard work to pay off......words of wisdom anyone?

here's my vent... I get my kaplan writing sample from the previous week back, and see that it wasn't scored because it was "illlegible"... I showed it to the two people next to me and had them read it, both had no problem... I ask the proctor how the hell I can get it scored and she had no other answer than to go to the kaplan HQ in ann arbor... an hour away! This is not what I paid 1500 bucks for!

I got a 5 and a 6 on the other test I had scored so I'm not worried, but feel like Kaplan was ripping me off.

If I were your parent, I would have disowned you. *shakes head*
