Hey, I am considering retaking the darn MCATs again next April. I thought I exhausted all my resources practice exam wise for the August test. What do the retakers use as study materials/practice exams to hone their weaknesses? Thanks.

Well,
Re takers like me use the many materials
As possible that could be
But I don’t know much about it
But let’s just practice everything
Amcas practices tests are good
From what I have heard
I am just starting with that

Used TPR stuff and EK 101 Verbal Passages. I highly recommend EK

Is there a reason every post of yours is in poetic form? Let me try a Haiku

The MCAT sucks ass
Verbal is the worst subject
It has no poems

Yeah
MCAT sucks,
because NO POEMS??
But don’t fall behind on studying
Start early if you can,
From what I have heard
EK’s 101 verbal passages are fine
For practicing verbal reasoning.

lol..i was wondering what all that was about too...as for me:
Kaplan stuff, all of it..starting from now...(also taking the class)
Columbia review stuff,
Berkeley review stuff, (from an McAT prep class)
text books, only Physics and OChem
EK's Verbal Reasoning..
i hope this is the last freakin time I'm taking this test...so i'm using EVERYTHING i can get my hands on...

well i'm retaking only because of my verbal score, scored a 14 PS and 11 BS, so i'm thinkin i'll just study all of the same material i did for this august one, seemed to work fairly well, maybe some extra material i have lyin around for BS. Verbal was just an off day for me, scored 3 points lower than on all my practice tests, but even though the real mcat seemed to be a VR abnormality for me, i'm gonna pick up the EK 101 VR passages book and use that since it's gotten pretty good feedback around here.

btw, i just used the big kaplan comprehensive study book for this august.

Wow, if I had your score, I would suck it up and apply cuz you can still get in some top 20 schools with those scores. But, just remember by retaking you risk getting a worse score. So think long and hard before you risk it.

i second that! man, i'd kill for a 14 in anything.
