MCAT Kaplan vs NextStep

[ah100838]

Hi! I am taking the MCAT this September 1st (in about 6 weeks) and I've taken 5 practice tests already, in the following order:

Kaplan FL 2: 504 (C/P 127, CARS 127, B/B 127, P/S 123)
Kaplan FL 1: 504 (I reset the test, and forgot to record)
Kaplan FL 3: 509 (126, 127, 128, 128)
AAMC Sample Test (unscored): 88%, 79%, 83%, 83%) --> my Kaplan instructor said it would be a 510
NextStep FL 1: 513 (129, 126, 130, 128)

My schedule is to take 2 practices every week until the test date. My goal is for a 515+, and I was just wondering if you think it is possible? I study around 5 hours every day (except for practice test days, which are Tuesdays and Fridays).

I can't seem to score well on CARS Any advice on how to tackle CARS? Also, any general advice would be very appreciated. Thank you!!

Do Khan Academy CARS. They’re material is best. Unfortunately they have only 40 something passages though.

BTW Next Step is awful. Kaplan is more representative at least in that section. But even then Kaplan scores are deflated so you might be able to pull a 128 on the real thing.
