Hey guys!! Hoping someone can help me out a little here, although I'm sure this question and many others similar to it have come up umpteen times.
Here's the deal: I took the August 2002 MCAT for the first time, just after graduation (currently completing a Master's right now), and got a 28 (11VR, 9BS, 8PS,writing sample S). [My PS score would probably be at least one point higher were it not for an INCREDIBLY *****ic thing I did on the exam: namely, forgetting to fill in the last 8 or 18 bubbles (have no idea how many) that I answered (and only realized it one second before I had to hand the test in).]
Anyway, that's a little irrelevant, but my main question is, what materials would you recommend? My main problem is that I completed all of AAMC tests III, IV, V, and VI, and I fear that it would be a bit useless to retake tests that I've already done. I actually still have them saved on my computer, because I took the full AAMC MCAT Practice Online membership program. My main practice book was an old Kaplan Comprehensive Review, 1999. I was happy with that book, and the AAMC tests, but now I'm wondering how I should approach it now. (I am aware that the content and structure for the 2003 MCAT has been altered slightly.)
I'm wondering which "practice book" you guys would recommend most (and why): TPR, Examkrackers, Kaplan, other? And also, what full-length practice exams would you recommend the most, taking into account the fact that I've already completed the AAMC tests?
(I'm not planning on taking a review course, because of the time and expense involved, and I don't really think it would be of much help to me.)
Sorry for the wordiness! Thanks very much in advance.
