My first full-length was PS 8 VR 5 BS 6 . Actually I prefer studying for Bio/Orgo relative to the other two sections, and since I felt confident that I could raise BS points easily whenever I study for it, I focused more on the PS and VR. My biggest problem is verbal. I should have realized that it takes much more time to improve verbal when starting with really poor English skills. First, there were sooo many unfamiliar vocabs I needed to know. Probably 1000!!! Second, I had to read over and over again to exactly understand certain passage that a lot of times it took more than an hour to do single passage and go over main idea and questions.
I am not like others when it comes to verbal. I even gave up seeking a job so that I could devote my whole time studying for the MCAT this spring,(I'm non-trad, took pre-req 5-7yrs ago) but it's not still enough b/c I was basically trying to improve verbal skills that people spend a lifetime on. Besides I was never trained to think critically, logically nor conceptually. I've always had problem paying attention when it comes to reading!! (even in my own language).
I really want to take it in April since I have nothing else to do but studying for the MCAT. So, even though I am not physcially in best shape right now due to medical reason, I sometimes have this urge thinking whether I should just get over with this crap.
I'm aiming for osteopoathic and I think I can raise my score until April MCAT enough to get into osteopathic school but even if it's possible for me to get in D.O. school w/ April MCAT score around 25-27, I prefer taking it in August if I can get above 30 when I feel more prepared..
Arggghhhh.. don't know what to do... I'm getting old and have loans to pay (28 yr-old with NO real particular job experience except bunch of clinical work/intern/volunteer and a master degree that doesn't pay $#!t) and want to move on with my life!!!!
