I just took my first MCAT practice test today (a Kaplan test from the Kaplan 2000 prep book) in preparation for the April MCAT. I figured that, hey, I'm a smart guy, I'll do at least decently, right?
Result: 8VR 7PS 8BS
How do these practice tests compare with the real thing. Is the grading scale similar? Does anyone do well on the initial practice tests (I've been preparing for about 3 weeks now - seems I have a ways to go)?
One more question: I have myself scheduled for about 16 full exams (mostly Kaplan and princeton review prep book and class exams) between now and April 21st. My friends say that this is overkill and that I will burn myself out. I counter that after 16 tests, I will be ready for anything. Your feedback is appreciated.
