I have purchased the second EK practice test I plan to do it Thursday.. Hoping to increase my scores all across the board!

When do you take MCAT?

I am scheduled to take it in July but more than likely I am going to have to push to August. I work full time so I can't study as much as I need too. Wbu?

What are you using to study? Just taking a practice tests and reviewing over the questions you miss?

yes essentially. practice tests and a kaplan book. If you are planning to apply this cycle of applications its really important you take it in July as opposed to August. Taking it in August does not make you competitive for this cycle of applicants.

Im in a Kaplan course now and it will end mid June so Ill study and be taking FL until the July test date. I am not sure if I will be apply to apply this round so Ill probably wait another year. We shall see.

I know of two individuals that were in the 495-499 range. Both scored 65%+ on the recent April MCAT.

i got the same scores i think the exam is extremely hard and i feel some of the answers contradict with what was said in the passage

I got a 498 on the 3 hour free version of the exam (this is the one you're talking about right)?

Chem/Phys: 122 (lol...)
CARS: 127
Bio/Biochem: 125
Psych/Socio: 124

Haven't looked at a single physics or orgo problem in 3 years and I've never taken a psych/socio class before. Pretty happy about the score but I need to start learning those 2 sections before the June test date lol.
Honestly, it just goes to show that Psych/Socio is basically a slightly modified form of CARS. Someone else in the May MCAT thread shared those same sentiments too. You can eliminate half of the answers using the same logic you would for CARS, all you need to do if make sure you go over the AAMC outline and know your shiet.

I highly recommend the EK verbal book if you're looking to get your score up btw! A lot of the tips really helped me out. Good luck on your MCAT! Maybe you can help me out with my Chem/Phys score haha
