Hey everyone,
I took the Kaplan MCAT #6 yesterday and did terrible. I got BS 7, VR 7, and PS 9. That being only a 3 point increase from my terrible 20 diag score and its been a month of studying since then. My goal is a 10 on each section (for verbal I would be happy with a 9 but at least a 2-3 pt increase on each section from what I have would be ideal for me). I am planning on taking the August MCAT but am also considering taking the April one instead. I only have 2 weeks till registration is due and I was wondering what some of you experienced ones would suggest. What do you think I should do, how should I put time into studying. I do plan to start studying a little more intensely as I have been taking it a little easy for the past month. I am taking the Kaplan class and mainly just do the readings they assign, not much more and I the examkrackers material and audio osmosis as well. There are 5/6 weeks left to the big day, and do you think I can pull off a 2-3 point increase from what I have for each section? Thanks in advance for your responses.

When I took the first TBR practice test I got a 7 ps, 8 bio, 8 verbal. In three months of solid studying I got a 10, 11, 11 on the actual MCAT.

If you can wait, I'd wait. If you take next April you can still apply early. You have to be a serious student though to take classes and study for the MCAT at the same time.

The fact that you have been taking the last month easy is not a good sign. I'm not saying you won't do well, but it does make me wonder if you are serious about improving your score.

Kaplan tests 6-11 are supposed to be harder than usual, so don't give up yet. If you've already taken 1-5, perhaps try another companies tests.
