Members do not see this ad.

i am taking the mcat for the THIRD time in Aug2006. the first time i got a 22N,7 7 8, the second time around, 23P, 9 6 8. my goal is to get around a 10 9 9 this time around. i have may through august with NOTHING to do but study, and i want to begin my verbal review NOW. as u can see i want to go from a 6, i got a 7 the first time, to a 9. i think it is realistic for my to improve my PS and BS scores up by at least one point, but i have to really improve my verbal score...

what is the best way to prepare????anyone out there that has increased their verbal scores on the actual MCATS?????

anything helps,
schooler

Try the EK for verbal, there should be 11 pratice verbal reasoning. 😀

I found that EK 101 was a lifesaver. I was in the same position as you. First time =9V, second =8V and third time = 11V. It just captures the obscurity of the passages better than TPR, in my experience.

Try to learn from your mistakes afterwards, not just look at your score.

Let's just say that I doubled my score, and you can too. 🙂

please post data on your EK Verbal tests.
i.e. EK1-score-date; EK2-score-date. I'd like to see how you've improved, and while i dont care about exact dates, i care how much time you took between each sitting of the test. Thanks

thanks. but they dont say how much time they spend between each sitting. for example i took ek1 like almost a year ago, and after a 6months break(reading some novels), my score went up from an 8 to a 10 on ek2. I wouldnt expect such a jump if you just take it every week, but i would be most interested in what happens. On the other hand if they take several practice tests in a single week, then they probably dont even go over the tests...

That's what you check the post date for 😉

really i would prefer people who had already taken the real mcat (or at least people who finished all 11 EK's) to just post their data from their notebooks, in a nice little table.

To each his own. But I don't think everyone writes down the dates of when they took a test. Just a caveat 🙂
