Making that jump from 30's to high 30's

Im starting to get quite frustrated at my consistent 30-32's on practice tests. Usually 10-11 BS, 10 VS , and 10-11 PS
Can someone give me some advice on how to study please? I want to reach 35+ but I have no idea how.

A more general question would be what the heck is the difference between someone who gets 30's vs someone who gets 35's?

Make sure your content knowledge is solid -- review any weak subjects... aside from that, it's just practice.

The difference between someone who gets a 30 and someone who gets a 35? All else being equal, sometimes it's just pure luck -- what's tested on a particular day and what's not.

Why is it that ive practiced with all 3-10 aamc tests and still did not improve in any of my scores? Is that not enough practice?

I have been reviewing the results of my practice tests and understanding why I get certain questions wrong , but still no change in my score.

How should I be reviewing over my mistakes on practice tests?

I was in the exact same boat as you. I was scoring consistent 32s on my practice AAMCs, with no variation at all in the composite score. I went over every single question on the AAMCs after I took them, even those that I got right. Still no change. I took the real test on 9/6 still scoring 32s on my AAMCs.

I don't know, if your test is 9/13, I don't think there is anything that you can do. Your score is not going to shoot up magically to 35+ overnight. Just hope you perform as well on the real deal as the practice AAMCs, and hopefully you will come out with a 32-33 (which are great scores by the way).

If your test date is January or beyond, I'd say do a more thorough content review, and practice even more practice tests, maybe from third-party companies.

the difference between a 32 and a 36 is literally a few questions. Check the AAMC raw/scaled conversion chart. Go back to your raw scores, pretend you got 2 more questions right on each section, and see what your score would've been. I guarantee it'll be 2-3 points higher. Honestly, when you start scoring in the mid-30's it really is only a difference of a few questions.. so make sure you know your stuff!
