I took the OAT last summer, and I was able to study very well for it, even with a heavy course load. But I'm having a really hard time concentrating on studying for the MCAT this summer. I don't really have any responsibilities right now so I don't understand why I'm having such a hard time. I have a lot of free time but I get really detracted by simple things. I recently took up gardening and I've been spending a lot of my time on that. When ever I sit down to read TPR books, I just start thinking about other things. I don't know why but I'm having such a hard time concentrating. I've heard that it takes at least 3 months of hard-core studying to do well, maybe I've just given up because I only have a month left. I got a 23 as my baseline in January, should I start taking AAMC practice tests instead of reading. I finished the physical chemistry section after doing my baseline, that was my worst subject. I also read some of the physics chapters and currently am working on Biology. I think reading really doesn't hold my interest anymore, and I don't know how helpful it is to just read things I've already learned about...I have a lot of clinical experience but not any leadership activity since high school. My GPA is 3.65 but I never thought I'd get into medical school...I like health-care but I guess I never thought I was good enough for med school
I've become filled with self doubt, what should I do?
btw. I"m taking the June 17th MCAT.
thanks
