Hi everyone,
I'm an incoming 3rd year scheduled for the Sept 10th MCAT and am feeling discouraged right now after my last FL practice. I had summer school and work this past month but reviewed for the MCAT throughout, so I figured I'd be doing better now that I don't have those obligations.
Unfortunately, my trend isn't too great:
AAMC FL scored (w/o content review): 502
Next Step 1 FL: 509
Next Step 3 FL: 508
Next Step diagnostic: 514
Next Step 4 FL: 504
To top it off, I'm not done with my content review. I'm using EK 2016 and have been missing about a third of the questions on each. I'm thinking of postponing until January so I have more time to finish content, practice test-taking, and ultimately get my scores up. I'm scared though since I'd also have classes, an internship, a job and extracurriculars I'm just wondering if I should suck it up and work my absolute hardest these next four weeks and go through a ton of practice tests in the hope of getting a consistently high score? (513+) Or if I shouldn't risk it this month, keep working as if I'll take it, and then reschedule for January.
My gpa is fine, +3.8, but I'm a CA resident trying to stay in CA so I know it's an uphill battle and a bad MCAT could ruin me
Thanks to everybody in advance and I know I must sound a little neurotic :/ I'm just looking for advice and maybe others in the same boat. Thanks again!
