I am really concerned. I just took a Kaplan MCAT diagnostic (only studied for mcat using kahn for 10-15 hours at most (and only covered the cell membrane/cell-cell interactions videos)). I ended up with a 485 composite with the following scores:
Chem/phys: 118
CARS: 124
Bio/Biochem: 120
Psych/Soc: 123
I am really, really concerned, especially given my chem/phys and bio/biochem scores. I read other posts about 485 diagnostic, but i think my variation is worse (side note: do med schools care about particular subscores, or just composite). I essentially guessed on all of the questions for those two sections. I plan on taking the MCAT mid-May and I signed up (before taking the diagnostic) for a kaplan in-person plus course March 20-May 1. I decided to get a head start with the diagnostic test, but now am even more concerned. What could I do to improve?
Currently, I was thinking of watch the kaplan Mcat channel for biochem & behavioral sciences as well as taking the individual science assessments before the course started.
Also, I am currently taking gen chem 2 & gen physics two at a local college.
