I'll start.

I already took the MCAT in august 2005: 26--hence, i am retaking it.

Kaplan Diagnostic: 11p, 10V, 8B, 29.

Anyone have AAMC I & II?

e-mcat doesn't have them anymore.

I have both of them...on paper (in those booklets).

I don't think anyone will have them. At any rate they won't do you any good because they are not revised to the new format and newer focus of the MCAT post 2003. Hence they will not be good indicators of your score. Better to stick with the 6 tests they have out currently: 3r 4r 5r 6r 7 and 8

and Kaplan material or Princeton Review material or EK or Berkley Review material.

Yea, watch out for those AAMC tests. I was scoring MUCH higher on my practice tests than my real deal. Whether or not other things had to do with that can be debated. Good Luck

i agree! especially the earlier aamc tests, and even more especially, the ps sections were way too easy.

That is partially true but basic BS with a semblance of structure gets you a 3+3 which is about O.

You actually have to try to get an M. That is how poor an M is considered.

uhhhh. i got an M on my actual mcat, had an 11 verbal.
and i can tell you i was not *trying* to get an M at all!
i never really separately prepared for the writing sample besides my kaplan practice tests, maybe that was my mistake. but i thought i did follow the "format", and don't normally consider myself such a horrible writer. don't know why i scored so low. SO BEWARE.

AAMC 6:

13 PS
13 BS
9 VR

In the VR, all was going well until I bombed two passages, which happened to be 10 questions each, lol....hopefully I won't bomb passages in the future 😳

Hey when you say AAMC 6, do you mean 6R or the old version with 65 rather then 60 questions worth of Verbal????

If you want the revised versions I have them. Just let me know.

The old version, plain 6 with 65 questions.

Ahhh, same thing happened to me throughout the AAMCs. I suggest you look at the number of questions before you start reading the passage. If you see 10 questions - be extra careful! This advice might be useful if you're finishing the section with time left over. Otherwise, taking extra time on a section would hurt.

A thing I noticed about the AAMCs and their dreaded 10 question passages, is that those are usually the most difficult. Not because of their length; they just make them hard passages to read and answer questions to. They're also usually on humanities topics. On the real test, the two 10 question passages were actually my favorites. They were on science and history. The questions were also much better. It was a five-six question passage that did me in 😳
