[wongb18c]

June 15th is coming... I'm scared.

 

[Phoenix.]

Kaplan 2 :20
Kaplan 1: 19
Kaplan 3: 23
Kaplan 4: 26
Kaplan 5: 25🙁

Not the best scores in the world...but The last three i took this week after about 3 weeks of not studying more than 5 hours a week. Oh well...all i can do is try...besides i'm not applying to a US school...😳

Amilin: You're just taking Kaplan practice tests, no AAMC practice tests? If I were you I'd take at least one AAMC practice test (preferably 8, 9 or 10 since they're more recent) before the test on Friday. I haven't taken any Kaplan tests, but I've read on here from some people that they're harder. *shrug* Good luck, regardless!

It's kind of funny actually, my friends and I made it up when I was like 16, we were at a party in a neighboring town and for reasons I won't go into I didn't want them to know my real name so I told them it was Jatt, ever since that is what my buddies have called me.

Now it wasn't until years later that I became enlightened to the fact that a Jatt is a part of Indian culture, of which I am not. So if there is anyone here that is of Indian descent that can shed more light on the subject feel free. Also, if my name is offensive for some reason beyond my current understanding please let me know, it is not my intention to be disrespectful.

Holy crap, it's monday!

LOOOL hahahaha yea that's why I was asking....it's not offensive at all don't worry =)

I just took the PS section of AAMC #10, and felt that it was fairly easy, but made so many STUPID MISTAKES!! It really lowered my score, did anyone else experience something similar on it? Concepts are not a problem for me, its the stupid unit conversions that ALWAYS mess me up!

 

[corbis11]

just took aamc10...13ps, 9vr, 15bs

I somehow bombed the first passage in vr about meteors even though I thought I understood it. Also, the last passage about fruits and figs and some other crap totally lost me and I missed almost all of them. I only missed one on the bs part...and it was the last question about the flat worm?!??! I still don't understand "conditioning" even after reading their explanation

I'm SO envious of your PS and BS scores! I got that flatworm question right, but only based on what I remembered from Psych 101 (that I took about 15 years ago!). Seemed like a bogus biology question to me. Unless you consider psych to be biology (which of course they don't for the science gpa calculation!). I also thought that "vole" question was bogus in a content-sense as well (even though I got it right). Were we supposed to have taken zoology too?

One more thing - did anyone recognize a couple of the discretes from a previous AAMC CBT (6 or 8)? Especially the one with the blood pressure in the leg/arm in the BS section duplicated word for word, and one of the light reflection discretes in the PS section. There were a few more discrete duplicates in there as well. Odd.

 

[obesedude]

The exam is on Friday. woah. Question - what are you guys doing w/ the remaining time? I took AAMC 9 a couple of weeks ago and got a 31. I was thinking about taking 10 on Wednesday but was worried I might tire myself out for the Friday exam.

Anyway, what are you guys doing w/ the remaining days?

I heard you should take Thursday just to chill out but I am not exactly sure how to or what that even means.

 

[corbis11]

I'm taking one more practice tomorrow (8) and then just doing a brief overview of all my notes on wed. I have to work all day thursday so I'll have something to take my mind off the mcat for a while

Just do what you would do if you weren't taking the MCAT. Do what you enjoy! RELAX!
Just make sure you get a good nights sleep WEDNESDAY night!
Last, don't look at any material the day of the test.

 

[Phoenix.]

My plan: I'm going to take CBT 9 tomorrow (my last AAMC practice test). I'm also going to keep doing EK 1001 Bio passages leisurely from today through Wed evening, and look over notes/flash cards.

Definitely not doing anything MCAT-related on Thursday or Friday before my 1:30pm afternoon exam. On Thursday I'll probably try to sleep in late (so I'm not too sleep deprived if I have trouble sleeping Thursday night), take my dog on a long walk, exercise, eat (alas no alcohol until after the MCAT), and maybe hit Old Navy for some summertime stuff. Dare I give in to my evil obsession to watch TV that I've suppressed for six weeks in favor of the MCAT? I've got all my season finales waiting for me. Woo! It's a slippery slope! Oh, and I might take a peek at a formula sheet despite best intentions not to....

I think that we'll all do our best if we can somehow con ourselves into thinking that this test isn't that big of a deal. Just waltz in with confidence and take it in a relaxed state of mind knowing we're going to trounce the beast. At least, that's what I'd like to do. Unfortunately standardized tests like this tend to get me in a bit of a panic. I hope they don't throw two impossible first PS passages at us like they supposedly did in the May 31st test. It's nice when it starts out easier and you can get into the MCAT groove. Ya know?

 

[starlight04]

wahhhh, im totally freaking out. i've done nothing all day, not out of desire to relax, but out of paralyzing fear. lol. i watched 4 hours of TV, took migraine pills, took a nap, went to subway...

i still have AAMC 9 & 10 to take, but im not sure if i should take both (i.e. 10 tomorrow and 9 wed) OR if i should just take 9 tomorrow and forget about 10. i'm hesitant not to take 10 since everyone says its the "best" predictor, or whatever, but i dont' know how much it's going to help me at this point.

otherwise, going to turbo my way through content. trying to breeze/skim through EK sections im terrible on, going to do some extra questions/practice in trouble areas for me (i.e. fluids, electrochem, optics), take a FL tomorrow, and try not to panic too much. i've got a mandatory seminar for my internship wednesday night (we're getting pictures taken for the newsletter, so i actually have to go in looking decent and happy too...), so i will completely quit studying at that point and try to pretend like i dont have the most terrible day of my life looming in my near future...

i think i might go to the mall on thursday, which is one thing i KNOW will get my mind off the MCAT...look for cute summer dresses and such. go to the gym (endorphins!!), read a book, go out to dinner, watch a movie, and try to turn in for an early night.

SOOOO...what do you guys think? Should I just take AAMC CBT 9 tomorrow and stop, or should I try to power my way through 10 as well, and take FL's up til Wednesday. i'm concerned...

 

[Phoenix.]

Ugh. I just had my first quasi-panic attack. This is bad. It's only MONDAY and I'm starting to get knots in my stomach, shaking hands and weak knees. Out of nowhere I started singing "Bye bye Miss American Pie, drove my Chevy to the levy...." and of course the point where I got to "this'll be the day that I die," suddenly had me thinking of the MCAT again. Yikes. I need to get a handle on this before it gets a handle on me. Or perhaps it's too late? I don't usually take baths, but perhaps this is the time for it. Calgon?

Starlight: If I'm not mistaken, you've been rocking your practice MCATs as it is (a 39 on CBT 8), so I would just take one of them and not push yourself to the point of burn out right before the test. You're sitting pretty as it is. Personally, I thought 8 was just like 10. I haven't done 9 yet. Whichever you take will be fine.

corbis, i actually just took AAMC10 and got the conditioning one correct. I think they applied two stimuli, light and electricity. Imagine the expt as this: You applied just light at first and got either no response or a certian response, which we'll call response type A. then you added electricity to the vat, and now, when you use light without electricity, you're getting a response, call it response B. Conditioning occurs if B does not equal A. That's because response B could not have occurred without the use of electricity, at least durring the "conditioning phase." Just think of what happens if u were to run a marathon (light stimuli) tomorrow; you'd die (response A). If you train, train, train (electricity) along with running marathons (light), and then sometime in the future you run a marathon (light), you might live (response B). Because death (A) and life (B) are different, the training (electricity) and marathon running (light) conditioned you to survive (response B) a marathon (light stumi) rather than kick the bucket (response A).

Sorry majik, but all that response A, response B, electricity/light, life and death has me dizzy. Can't we just use Pavlov's dog as an example? You show a dog a cookie and he salivates. You show a dog an orange ball and he doesn't salivate. Every time you show the dog the orange ball you give him a cookie, and lo and behold, a week later (or a day if you've got a smart cookie for a dog), you just show the dog an orange ball, and he starts to salivate. That's conditioning. You've conditioned the dog to salivate at the sight of an orange ball. Something he would not normally/naturally do. At least that's my recollection from Psych 101 many moons ago.

 

[Jimmy Paige]

well I must say that there really isnt much worse than sitting through a 4 hrs of aamc 10 and only getting a 24....what a let down! Everyone is saying that 8 and 10 are alike but my scores differed a lot with a 29 on aamc 8.

I am going to take aamc 9 on weds and see how it goes.

Hopefully we'll all show up ready to go on Friday and rock the test!

 

[kstreet]

I'm psyched. Can't wait to kick the **** out of this test.

 

[4success]

omg.. i'm so nervous! and just realized... i shoudl've studied the contents more... ahhhhh
my VR has been fluctuating between 4-13.. yeah i know rite? hoepfully i'll get over 10!

gl everyoneEEE!!!!!
eeeep!

you took AAMC 7 twice...and did worse your second time??? 😕

 

[MystA RavE]

you took AAMC 7 twice...and did worse your second time??? 😕

I think things like that show proof that there are a lot of factors in your grade. The way you're thinking at some point may be different than at another time. Sometimes the more you know, the more you overanalyze in the wrong direction.

 

[Phoenix.]

I'm guessing swifteagle meant AAMC 8 for the second "AAMC 7."

 

[starlight04]

I'm guessing swifteagle meant AAMC 8 for the second "AAMC 7."

i figured as much, but still found it momentarily amusing. i contemplated retaking a CBT just to get a 40+....

 

[swifteagle43]

sorry the second one is AAMC 8

 

[swifteagle43]

That sort of looks like the June 14th Countdown Timer to me.

ITS FOR THE 8:00 am for June 15th...not the 1 o clock...you have less time than you think....

 

[quintessence]

Just finished AAMC10...dunno if its the fact that I started writing at 10pm, or that I was feeling particularly lazy tonight, but I'm not really happy with the results

PS - 12 (2 questions from a 14....2 very easy questions that I missed)
VR - 11 (was it just me or was this VR soooooooo hard)
BS - 11 (1 question from a 12 and again I missed a couple of no-brainers)

So basically I'm fluctuating between a 31 and a 39 depending on my mood it seems. I have AAMC 9 to go (wednesday) and a TON of concept review to do:S *sigH* only 3 days left....

 

[HristosKaran]

I completely agree with this statement. I noticed that if I know a topic extremely well, I tend to find reasons why the right answer may be wrong and pick another answer which seems to be the "hidden right answer," but is completely wrong. Especially on PS.

I know we all have our own personal goals, but you SHOULD be happy. Seriously. This is like being unhappy that you only won 34 million dollars in a lottery and not 40 million (not that I'm saying your scores are pure luck). Sure, the 40 would be nice, but don't lose sight of the big picture. You're in a great position going into the MCAT on Friday. You've clearly mastered the material, and pretty much mastered the test. I've read that score fluctuations in the high 30s can be large because the difference between a 13, 14 and 15 in the sections can sometimes just be one question each. No reason to be miffed about getting a 34 on a practice MCAT. Especially if your upper range is 39. Just focus on Friday, and the MCAT gods be willing, you'll get your 37+. Good luck.

 

[FlowLimited]

ITS FOR THE 8:00 am for June 15th...not the 1 o clock...you have less time than you think....

Haha...I don't want to argue with you about your countdown timer. It's a good timer. But if you look at it today it says you have 1 day and a number of hours. It gets you to Thursday at 8:00am. Unless it just doesn't come up right on my computer.

 

[Amilin]

Amilin: You're just taking Kaplan practice tests, no AAMC practice tests? If I were you I'd take at least one AAMC practice test (preferably 8, 9 or 10 since they're more recent) before the test on Friday. I haven't taken any Kaplan tests, but I've read on here from some people that they're harder. *shrug* Good luck, regardless!

Which ones are harder? the aamc or kaplan?? I am going to take 8,9,and 10 of aamc....over the next few days. I'm going to do 10 right after i log off of this site. Good luck to you too!

 

[Jatt]

AAMC 10 in the books, 11/11/13 for a 35. I really killed myself by changing answers, I counted 7 questions over the whole test that I changed answers to and got wrong! It's hard to know when to leave a question alone, especially in BS because I finish that section very fast(usually with 20 minutes to spare) and so I fear over looking something and go back and check everything and end up changing right answers. Anyways I guess I'm ready for this bad boy, hopefully I don't get blind sided by anything, that is by far my worst fear.

It doesn't even work for me. It says the test is NOW!

 

[FlowLimited]

It doesn't even work for me. It says the test is NOW!

Very strange. I guess it doesn't matter, though. The point is that the test is VERY SOON.

 

[RollSkins]

Well I just finished with AAMC 10 and I have to say I am definetly happy with how I did and I am ready to make this freaking test my Bit*h. (Hopefully)

Overall 36
PS 12 Woohoo! first time I have scored above a 11. I am soo stoked about this, when I first started taking practice tests I was scoring an 8 so thats some definete progress
VR 11 About average
BS 13 Finally got above a 12

Now is just some simple concept review and then relaxing until test time

 

[Phoenix.]

Just finished my last AAMC CBT: 9. Got my highest score yet, a 32: PS 9 VR 12 BS 11. One question away from a 13 in VR and a 12 in BS. HOWEVER I was also only one question away from an 8 in PS! I couldn't believe it, but I got a passage in EVERY SINGLE one of my worst physics and chem topics: waves, optics, capacitors, acid/base and electrochem. SHEESH.

I'm hoping and praying that I don't get a full passage on each of those on the real thing. I'm also going to re-direct my review over the next day or two to those topics and stop futzing with bio. I can hope that lightening doesn't strike twice, right? What are the odds of getting full passages on all of those on the real thing? Yikes. I'm really scared that might happen. But I'm trying to look on the bright side - I managed to just eke by with a 9. If I pull off a 9 if that happens on the real thing I'll count my lucky stars.

For those that say that CBT 9 is easier than 8 and 10, I agree regarding VR, but for PS, it really depends on your weaknesses. And I thought the difficulty in BS was hardest in 8, but about equal in 9 and 10.

Phoenix, which one overall was the hardest between 8 and 10? I am in the same boat as you, and have taken all of the practice exams and like you too and was thinking about retaking one of them tomorrow. I don't think either will be too fresh in my mind because I finished them all by the end of March (in the meantime been taking the KAPLAN subject tests and I retook 9 a couple of weeks ago).

Which one would you suggest I take over/or is the most difficult?

 

[obesedude]

Just do what you would do if you weren't taking the MCAT. Do what you enjoy! RELAX!
Just make sure you get a good nights sleep WEDNESDAY night!
Last, don't look at any material the day of the test.

Thanks for the advice. I want to ask you and also a couple of the other repliers as well a question. I am sure most of you would watch television (or watch a movie, or play video games, etc) if you weren't preparing for the MCATs. Would you do that on Thursday? Just curious.

I think I am just going to wind up reviewing the EK Orgo cards and of course freaking out for most of the day.

omg. im taking 9 as well right now. whoever said this was the easiest AAMC LIED. well, so i just took the PS section, but i'm in too much shock to continue. i have the same weak topics as you, and i couldnt believe my eyes when they just kept popping up one after another after another. at this rate, this is going to be a confidence DEFLATOR. now i will probably have to take AAMC 10 to make myself feel better. EEKS.

Starlight: PS on 9 was brutal if you have my ("our") weaknesses. However, VR and BS are straight-forward and won't stress you out. But if you want a little confidence-building, just do the PS section from 10. I think you'll do well on that if you did well on 8. If you have time to do the whole test, go for it if you don't think you'll get burnt out. Good luck. Let me know how 9 turns out for you.

Which one would you suggest I take over/or is the most difficult?

Hmmm. Obviously I think the PS section of 9 was the hardest, but only because of the topics they chose. I found 8 to have a slightly harder BS section (probably cause of the orgo though), and 8 and 10 to have about equally ranked VR sections (although the grading/curve on 10 was a bit harsher). Personally, I think the hardest VR section was on 5 because of that bogus Picasso passage. And for some reason, the only VR sections I've run out of time on were 6 and 8. So, I guess overall I'd suggest you do CBT 8 if you want to retake the hardest of 8, 9 and 10.

But really, if I were you, I'd look back at my practice scores and take the one I did the worst on. But I'm not sure why you're looking for the most difficult to retake. This close to the real thing I'd be looking for a confidence booster instead (unless, of course, you've been hitting the upper 30's on them all). Good luck!

Yep, I'll probably go out for a drive, watch a movie and have dinner. I might even end up changing my oil 😀

🙄yeaaa haha you are right, thanks for making me feel better - I'm soo anxious about this because I'm sort of (although I KNO I'm not supposed to) counting on a higher MCAT score to balance out my less than stellar gpa :S anyways....with only 2-3 days left I guess all we can do is try to relax and hope that the MCAT gods are in a good mood come Friday (AND that they decide to go light on orgo!!)

 

[quintessence]

hey guys i think im dying

only a few days left, hang in there =) are you still finishing your last AAMC tommorow?

 

[Mark84]

Took the last practice test today that I will take before I take it this Friday. In the last two weeks I took 4 practice tests as follows:

AAMC 3: 35 PS 11 VR 11 BS 13
AAMC 4: 36 PS 12 VR 12 BS 12
AAMC 10: 35 PS 11 VR 11 BS 13
AAMC 9: 36 PS 12 VR 12 BS 12

I just decided last Friday to retake this Friday 😱, no sense in delaying since I feel prepared.....

 

[Jimmy Paige]

Here I sit, drinking a beer and thinking to myself "Whats the worst that could happen??"

Of course, what usually happens is worse than what is in mind when I originally ask the rhetorical question...

Its funny though, becuase for some reason I just have a really good feeling. For some reason I feel like friday will be a personal high score, and really what more can we ask for than putting forth our best effort.

Good Luck to everyone!!

i can't wait until the MCAT is over. Why? So I can agressively drink away everything I've learned up to now and hopefully kill enough brain cells to bring my thinking levels back down from their high horse. Ideally, I'd like to drink enough to take a 33R (13ps,10vr,10bs) and transform it into a demented 16L (6ps,1vr,9bs).

AAMC CBT 9:

PS: 12
VR: 10
BS: 14
Overall = 36

Ok. so not a confidence booster or confidence deflator, but yet another reassurance that my score is solidly in the same range.

Still thought everything was hard except for the BS. I was 1 pt away from going down to an 11 in PS (i usually get a 13ish), ran out of time during VR because i went too slowly in the first couple of passages (just kept reading them over and over...dont know why!), and felt pretty confident during BS.

I still feel so shaky in VR, and PS on this test just proved to me that i should really review some bad topics. sigh.

ALMOST DONE GUYS!

hey guys i think im dying

awww. just try to relax. it seems to me that mostly everyone i knew who did well on the MCAT definitely took a chill pill the few days beforehand and walked into the test fresh and ready to go.
