Hello guys as my title shows it I'm pretty lost with my MCAT studying. I've wrote my MCAT last July (2017) after 2 1/2 months of studying (had to quit my job), I scored 505 (128,123,126,128). My studying mainly consisted of doing content review and a decent amount of practice questions (mainly TBR and EK passages, AAMC question packs and their practice tests). I haven't done any third party practice exams, mainly because my schedule looked like this 2 months content review and half a month doing practice AAMC stuff.
Now last week I did a practice test AAMC #1 (based on the knowledge I had from last year) I scored 501 (125, 123, 125, 128). Now I'm thinking of writing my exam on May 18th but at the moment I'm working full time 9 - 5 everyday (this work schedule is very hindering my studies, I get back home completely tired, so I end up squeezing 2-3 hours of high yield studying, also there's no way for me to quit as I need the money).
From how things are going I don't see my self going anywhere anytime soon. To be competitive in my school I need a 512 MCAT score so I really don't know what to do or how to balance work and studying (I just feel lost).
My initial/still plan was/is to do one practice exam every Saturday from now till the day of the exam overall it will come to 14 exams (100 hrs), and to work part time (3 days a week, Mon, Tue, Thu 9 - 2) as this will free my schedule a little bit.
Right now my main struggle is CARS as most Canadian schools require 128 in that section for me to apply. I tried so many strategies and there's no SDN thread that I haven't read about that section, NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING. I was told to try the testing solution boot camp I did I'm in day 17 atm and honestly I don't feel that I improved a bit. I really don't know how I will boost it up to at least the 126 - 128 range by late May.
If any one could throw some helpful comments I would really appreciate it.
