Anyone? :-(

This was my experience - I took the MCAT after being out of undergrad for 15 years. Compared to my practice exams I scored 1 point lower on PS, BS and 2 points higher in Verbal. I did get some help with Verbal so that is probably the reason for improvement.

Verbal would definitely be the hardest section to improve on, so good job with the improvement.

Hi all, I am in desperate need of advice. I've been studying for the MCAT since mid-December and I'm registered for the April 9th exam. (I'm also a full-time student with 13 hour credits this semester.) I'm also taking the KAPLAN course, but it ended just last week. There is no way I can possibly move the test further down because I have a deadline to take the MCAT before the summer program. (April 30th)

I'm part of a pre-medical program called EMSAP with UTMB and basically all I need is a 24, with no section lower than a 7.

Problem is... I'm averaging around 21-24 for my practice exams. I'm starting to feel a little bit depressed because I'd like to get in the high twenties to feel a little more secure. But I'm thinking I'm feeling a little burnt out....Any advice and words of wisdom would be much appreciated!

It's called "post-phrasing!"

Thanks, Lauren! Would post-phrasing Qbank questions work, as well?
