So I took the mcat on April 12 and got a 26 (PS 9 BS 9 VR 8)
I am retaking on july 24. When I took the test first time I took most of kaplan practice tests and all AAMC. Now I am taking the same practice tests again and here are my scores:
First time practice test scores:
Kaplan Fl 1: 26
Kaplan Fl 2: 22
kaplan Fl 3: 27
kaplan Fl 4: 27
kaplan fl 5: 28
AAMC 4: 27
AAMC 5: 25
AAMC 6: 27
Second time practice scores:
Kaplan Fl 1: 31
Kaplan Fl 2: 32
kaplan Fl 3: 30
kaplan Fl 4: 32
kaplan fl 5: 33
AAMC 4: 34
AAMC 5: 33
AAMC 6: 33
So basically I used to get 7-8 in VR. Now I am getting consistent 10-11s. (I am practicing new VR passages from EK) PS that used to be 8-11s are now 11s (12s sometimes) consistently and BS used to be 10s and now i have 12s mostly. So theres improvememnt (3 to 7 points)..I just dont know if the improvement is "real" (or how much is real) or its just due to the fact I am retaking the tests. VR passages seem familiar ("i have read something like this before") but to answer the questions I still have to read and go back and forth (as questions ask for details esp kaplan ones). I have taken all the other kaplan and aamcs before and intend to take them again before july 24.
My question to those who are retaking or have taken the test twice is if you too took the same practice tests again or got new ones? should I buy some tpr tests?(i dont know if they sell few onliny practice tests)I just dont know how to analyze my improvement. I am really nervous as i have heard that most ppl who retake do worse the second time
Any feedback or suggestions?
PS: I never took kaplan FL 10 and 11----> too scared to touch those (heard they are hard)..should I?
