MEEE.

moi as well

What are you all doing to prepare right now? I am currently in a 2 month kaplan class that started on June 5. Im only going to miss one class. Main reason I am doing july 24 is so I have september just in case. Hopefully we get lucky and get a relatively easy MCAT that day.

 

[Punchap]

I'm registered for this day as well. Good luck to fellow test-takers! Just studying for now.

I'm taking the exam July 24th as well. Right now, doing content review using Kaplan's review notes (took the course already), ExamKrackers subject books, and practice full-lengths starting June 15th. Study Study Study... Goodluck to us

 

[starseeker]

I'm a July 24th test taker as well. I wish all of you all the best. I will be praying for an easy test this day as well

 

[vicinihil]

any of you have a 6 week study plan going? what prep courses if any are you guys using?

 

[utahjazz]

Me too. Good luck everyone.

 

[elektroshok]

Me too.

I am taking kaplan, and we are still hitting the content hard. I am going ahead a little though and working on some section tests, esp. verbal, and playing with the Qbank alot - i need alot of passage based practice.

 

[jheredia]

less than a month to go

how's everyone's prep?

post ur scores, etc...


my scores:

Kaplan Diag: 23
Kaplan FL1: 34
Kaplan FL2: 36
Kaplan FL3: 34
Kaplan FL4: 35
Kaplan FL5: 38

AAMC 3: 33 (13 10 10)
AAMC 8: 31 (13 8 10)

i'm aiming for a low to mid 30, with hopefully 10 in each section at least. i'm worried about verbal...

Less than a month... scary! Nice AAMC exam scores.

I'm a little behind on the studying.

AAMC 3 (diagnostic): 27 (7/10/10)
AAMC 7: 30 (9/11/10)

Are AAMC 7 & 8 difficult than the Kaplan's FL?

 

[jheredia]

kaplan just seems different - they have more calculations and denser passages but they end up curving a lot more leniently

aamc is slightly easier and less calculation based but the curve is more strict. i found the verbal on aamc8 to be hard but maybe thats just me

 

[LuckBALady]

I'm signed up as well! Already sweating bullets! I'm trying to cram studying into what little time I have after the kids goto bed. I have two toddlers that hate to sleep. Best wishes all!

 

[ashal]

Oh I am in the same boat. I have a 5 yr old and 3 yr old. All the best to you.

 

[sexyman]

I have no kids- I cannot even imagine taking the MCAT as a mommy.

I am really nervous about the test even though my Kaplan scores have been pretty good.

Kaplan 3- 31
Kaplan 8- 30
Kaplan 7- 32

But I got a 22 on the real thing in April and I am skeptical about these apparent improvements- Im going to take AAMC 6 this weekend, I really hope it turns out to be in the 30s....

 

[ashal]

Got a 31 in my first FL from TPR Practice test A.
Anybody knows how it compares with Kaplan FL and AAMC?

 

[soccerpunk60]

Retaking July 24th here..good luck everyone

I'm gonna be hitting the 9 online TRP exams in the next couple days once i finish all the content review, i've exhausted all the AAMC exams so i dont know what use it'll be to retake them

 

[starseeker]

I'm a July 24th MCATer. I wish all of you the best of luck .

 

[151333]

Nervous.

 

[soccerpunk60]

I am taking mine on the 24th of july too...I am so nervous...especially the verbal

yeaa i BOMBED verbal the first time around. let's hope for a good section this time

 

[jheredia]

i'm in the same boat - HATE verbal...i've gotten anywhere from 7-10, hopefully i can get a 10 on the real thing but i'd be happy with a 9

i'm buying the EK verbal book today and i'm going to do about 4-5 passages a day. EK verbal + Kaplan FL's + AAMC's should hopefully be enough to get my verbal up and consistent

 

[ashal]

I HATE VERBAL TOO
I dont have the EK book. I am just practicing from Kaplan and TPR. Do you guys think EK is absolutely necessary?

 

[151333]

Need to improve PS here.

 

[151333]

No EK here. Just AAMC.

 

[greg1184]

I took kaplan FL 5 and I just got my first 30! My score has been steadily rising.

PS 10 V 7 BS 13

This is wierd because I usually get 9's and 10's in verbal. However Kaplan's verbal passages are more dense and I felt rushed.

CONGRATS on your 30. Good luck.
