Members don't see this ad.

no more making out note cards. no more taking topical passage based tests. no more messing around with aamc tests 1-4. no more reviewing EK's audio osmosis. From here on out, nothing but practice passages...practice passages...practice passages....at least 11 hours a day every day. Some days 14-16. Not time to eat. No time to drink. Maybe time to shower. Sleep needed however.

The lineup:

-EK sample test 1e and 2e
-TPR tests A-D in hyperleaning test booklet
-AAMC test 5r and 6r
-Berkeley Review tests 1,2,3,5,7,8,9
-Kaplan full length test 1 AND 3

That's 17 full length tests. If that's not enough to slay this, then I'm in trouble. I gotta end this message now so I can hit it now and hit it hard........

Holy crap! 11 hours/day? for 7 weeks? I guess you'll be ready. I didn't start studying until 7 weeks left. Good luck!

soonerpillow, true but if I'm not mistaken you

1) are a repeat test taker
2) simply "have it"

people like you and karen 44 and some others are going to be able to pull off high scores without super intense prep.

You're going to have a great tan at the end of summer... Unless you are black, then you WILL have a good tan at the end of summer.

How did you get all of those tests?

Can I get the Berkeley Review and EK tests somehow? please let me know, thanks.

 

[meanderson]

you can buy all 7 BR tests for 140.00 on their website.

There are 2 Ek tests on the EK site you can buy for 19.99 each(really $30 each after a 10$ shipping charge)

You can buy paper versions of aamc 5r and 6r for $40 each on the aamc website plus shipping. If you want to get aamc 1-6 in paper format, you can go to ebay and buy *copies* of them. This sucks because you may not get explanations and the copies dont turn out that good(some fuzzy parts). The good news is that you can probably get copies of all 6 for under $70, which is cheaper than just 2 from aamc. I can't stand the copies however so I went with 2 of the real deal.

The TPR and Kaplan tests you just have to get on ebay. I was really lucky to find someone who had a tpr test booklet with no markings. I ended up getting copies of the kaplan tests on ebay.

So basically, a combination of ebay and the EK/BR/AAMC sites is where to stock up on practice tests.

The good news is that you are studying alot and you have 44 days left.

 

[Mistress S]

Wow, 11 hours a day for the next 7 weeks--that's insane. Whatever you need to do, it's great that you have the time and the drive to do that much. I'm working full-time this whole summer, if I get in a couple hours of studying a night after work plus a few hours each day on weekends I 'll be proud of myself. Hopefully that will be good enough!

That is insane overkill. I have a good feeling that after you walk out of the testing room, you'll wish you hadn't wasted so much time. (Even if you feel like you bombed it, you'll probably wish you hadn't wasted so much time.)

 

[Wilford Brimley]

That is sheer insanity. How can you take the exam in a straight-jacket?

I am retaking the test in august and just started studying a couple of days ago.

I wish I had your discipline and resolve, but I do tend to agree with many of the others, ie: OVERKILL.

I hope you don't burn out before you get to the test, but if I had more time, I might try to do the same thing.

Best of Luck
