LOL they're awful
Thanks guy
Ok, I know you may not want my advice, but here are some of the things I did that REALLY helped get my score up:
I made a master excel/google doc and kept track of all of the FLs/SBs I did. I kept track of every single question I missed, wrote down the subject/topic, why I missed it, what I could do in the future to get it right. During content review, I also noted whether or not I had already gone over the topic or not. This helped keep things in perspective as I definitely missed more questions for areas I hadn't gone over yet. Keeping track of the subjects helped me pay EXTRA close attention to those areas in content review. You've already come so far in your journey, and you probably remember random things that you don't even realize. This is just a great visual tool to keep track of it all.
Do practice problems! I really liked certain 3rd party exams, AAMC FLs, AAMC SB (I didn't do the question packs, because those are supposedly outdated from the old MCAT, but by all means, if you've got the time, give them a shot). I also did CARS practice as often as I could. Try to read dense things online (science journals/news/etc).
C/P - This was my worst section (consistently) on my 3rd party and AAMC FLs. Somehow, a miracle happened on test day and it turned out to be one of my top sections. I despise physics with a PASSION, and kept feeling like I didn't know exactly which formulas to use when even though I did pretty well in my classes. Look up streamline MCAT (the link should be floating around on MCAT Reddit or here). I went through the C/P equations daily for probably the last month (or longer) and learned them in chunks. For me, if I could remember the formula, it meant that I also knew WHEN and HOW to use it. I think this is what saved me for this section. It was basically a methodical way of approaching all of the information you have to know. By the time test day rolled around, I could sit down and write out all of the equations. Did I actually use any of these on test day? Maybe a few? By taking practice tests, you'll start to see certain topics come up over and over again. Definitely focus on how to get these right!
CARS - I'm a non-trad with a non-science background, so this was my area of least concern. My score didn't actually change between the 2 tests, but I was happy with the score. I still practiced, though. Figure out a way that helps you keep track of where the information is in the passage (broad strokes type of stuff). Remember that you can always refer back to the passage (and probably should to avoid making any assumptions).
B/B - Learn the major metabolic pathways, and know your AAs. This will help you a TON.
P/SI agree with
@MemeLord - if you're not already using the KA 100 page p/s doc, stop what you're doing and get that. I used the 86 page doc and found that to be just as helpful (and slightly less overwhelming). Even if you just read the doc once (but actively read it/underline/highlight/etc.), that should definitely help bring up P/S.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
