This is insane, I cannot believe that i just took PR diagnostic # 2 (4921) and scored a 15 after 2 weeks of classes. B6, V5, P4. I did not take 4911 so I do not know how I would have done. If you have has TPR how did you do? If you are taking TPR now, please share your feelings.
P.S the more I study the more i feel like I am going to fail this MCAT, anybody feel the same?

Is TPR4941 an AAMC exam that TPR administers? seemed easier than the other TPR ones.

well, just took 6R and i'm pretty bummed by my bio score

AAMC 6R: 11 PS, 12 VR, 9 BS

My friggin bio score has only gone up 1 point since my diagnostic 3 months ago! I've already finished the book, I don't know what its gonna take to get that bio up to at least a 10...any last minute advice would be really welcome. According to princeton's analysis, my ochem percentage right is hovering around 60%, which is pretty crappy, but I really don't know what to do about it, I try memorizing but they don't come to me during the test =(

I'm thinking about just voiding my score this saturday and taking it April, even though i want to never take a look at these mcat books again!

Anh.. and all others in this boat:

Look one more time at your score.... it's a 30+.. why would you ever reconsider taking the MCAT... I'm really sorry to say this.. and I don't mean this personally and I'm really glad that everyone is trying sooooo hard to be a doctor... but take a friggin chill pill. You guys are asking for perfection.... and for those breaking 30 already, please stop complaining about your score. Try this on for size... I got a 23 on the last administration.... that is a reason to retake.. not a 30+. Give it a rest.. you'll all be fine.. you all should get a spot in medical school.... and if you don't realize that it's NOT your MCAT score.. it's most likely your personality or lack of it. CHILL!!! (and I mean this sincerely.. not as a grumpy poster looking to start trouble)

premedag,

well...my motivation for getting a high mcat score stems not from wanting a high score to impress adcoms, i need a high score to offset a seriously deficient gpa because of poor grades my freshmen and sophomore years, a high mcat will help validate my higher grades in my junior and senior years...so please, before you tell me to chill, at least consider that not everyone aiming for a high score is just another premed stat junky. so you're right, if i don't get into med school, i'm going to make damn sure that its NOT because of my mcat.

Lotanna,
Sounds good.. but a 30+ MCAT will make up for a crappy GPA. Where do you want to go to school?

Had the worst stomach ache after lunch. Spent at least 10 minutes in the bathroom during the biological section, came back to the test room, finished where I left off. Toward the end I didn't care I just wanted to go home and take some Pepto bismol. Wound up bubbling C's for the orgo Grignard reagent passage because I just didn't care anymore. Still finished before time was called. Which was cool. So I feel like I would of scored a 10-11 if my head was in the game.

Take home message for all: BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU EAT FOR LUNCH ON TEST DAY. I think I'll stick with PB & J on test day and skip the Thai spicy basil chicken...what was I thinking : )

I can live with that, this is pretty much the same score I was getting on my diags (slightly higher). Especially since the verbal was killer!

Cheers to all my Princeton Review alums!
