I don't know if anyone else is having problem like I do, but most of the time I get the answers wrong is due to the reason that I am not trusting my first instincts. Today I took a Verbal test and I realized that more than half of the answers that I got wrong were because I did not choose my first instincts. I always go back and change the answers. I don't know what to do about this. Like for example, right now I know why I am getting low score because of my hesitation, but when I am taking the test, I completely forget! Ugh..this makes me really really mad! I will have to tape a note on the wall in front of my desk so I am reminded not to hesitate!

Now that I think about it, this is happening to me in science passages and discretes as well! Oh this is sooo frustrating!

Ugh! I know what you mean. I have that problem, not just with the MCAT, but with tests in general. I think it's partially because I read into the questions too much all the time. But, I think I'm getting better at not second-guessing myself.🙂
