So I just got owned by the MCAT sciences today even though the Physics was easy. I had not scored below a 10 on the Physics since AAMC 2, and now I had to randomly click on the last six questions because I didn't have the concepts down hard enough to be able to answer the easy questions fast enough. There were no calculations and I still barely got through 45 questions.
Also, in the BS, I just couldn't get through the very dense passages, got confused often, and made silly mistakes (they were much harder than AAMC). And again, I ran into the same problem of time. I couldn't read the last passage even and had to make best guesses.
So I'm upset, but I'm determined to do better since I do think the problems are correctable. So my question is what can I do to improve my score? I've heard good things about TBR? I also want to take lots of practice exams but I've already taken AAMC 3-10. I can look over them again, but taking them again won't really be an accurate reflection most likely - should I get the TBR FLs? I do not need any help on the verbal, I have been getting 12+ on them, and I am sure I did just as well on the exam.
My second question is - can I take the September 2nd Test (or end of August), and send the updated score in late September? Do you think that will help me at all?
I'll start studying as soon as I know I need to (late June). So should I just apply now anyway?
