I'm taking the test April 5th. Took AAMC 3 and scored a 6PS/9 V/9 Bio ><. I know I probably did not do enough PS practice problems. Is it possible to increase my score to a 30/low 30s by just taking the rest of the AAMC practice and maybe a couple TPR and reviewing them in detail. Anybody score low on an AAMC a month before the test and was able to improve their score 5-8 points by just taking practice tests.
Raise score 5-8 pts by just doing AAMC practice tests..possible?

The 6 on the PS shows content weakness, you will have to review the material that you are messing up on. I would suggest reviewing TBR for the PS, in 1 month you will easily gain 3-4 points just from TBR and possibly a couple more from AAMC practice exams. With that being said if your PS content is strong then yes it's possible.

If I were you, I would postpone for end of May...Two more months of content review and practice might get you to that low 30.

Why take practice exams only? Why not shell out the extra dough for some ek subject books? Used, they'll run you what one or two secondaries will.

If you're doing the same exact thing from exam to exam, your score won't go up (it didn't for me). You have to actively assess your mistakes and fill in the blanks as you go forward, THEN you'll see score improvements.
In addition, I'd agree with these guys and recommend you invest in EK subject books. They're dense but if you summarize the chapters in your own words, you'll be able to extract a lot of information in just one read.
