That sounds good man, I have a lot of kaplan tests as well. I am thinking on doing at least separate sections like cars or p/s per day to practice, and stay with my NS FLs weekly until test day. I don't know yet when to start the AAMC bundle, probably after my first AAMC practice test. Somedays I get demotivated because I haven't been scoring well on the FLs. My highest score so far is 497, I got it last friday.
I just did them yesterday and I had a little under 60% on each of the C/P and B/B sections. They were difficult, in my opinion, so you're not alone! I really liked the CARS and Psych sections, but definitely need to work on some of the organic chem and chemistry bits. Haven't taken the sample test yet, so we'll see how that goes!
The Health Professions Committee at my school says July is still early for them. August and beyond, not so much. Our score release date for June 18 exam is on July 19. My opinion is post-pone, sign up for the 18th exam, relax a few days after the MCAT, have your app completed before July 1, and wait for the scores.
That's about how I did, so hopefully it's not too bad. Agreed about CARS though, really liked those passages.
Take with a grain of salt, but here is a compilation of self-reported practice scores and final scores from the MCAT Reddit. Many people score higher, but I don't think you can generalize 6-8 points higher, plenty of people are close or some end up scoring lower.
I haven't taken any EK and I probably won't. Too expensive for me. I have taken one Kaplan, one princeton review, and one next step exam so far. I'm currently working through the AAMC material. I got around 500 on both Kaplan and TPR, and 509 on Next Step. I feel like my "accurate" score is probably in between those. I'm hoping for a 510, and would be satisfied with anything above a 508. I'm definitely worried right now, not sure how valid that worry is, but I'm tackling this thing 24/7 until the test on June 2nd.
I think theres an option where you can apply and submit your application. There may be some option that says you will send your MCAT scores in once it comes in. Otherwise until then, your app is incomplete based on my knowledge (i could be wrong this is my opinion)
I'm sure you'll be fine given that your practice tests are somewhat close to what you want. I'm tackling this too and giving it all I got as are everyone else taking it June 2nd! You got this!! 🙂
Kaplan is driving me cray cray. I wish I could cry but my tears have become dehydrated from stress.
