Hey everyone!

I'm signed up for Jan 28th, and I wanted to get some feedback on how I was doing, and if 520+ is possible.

NS Half-length: 508 (125,129,126128)
AAMC Official Questions: 72% (82%, 60%, 75%, 71%)
NS 3: 511 (128,125,129,129)
AAMC 1: 517 (131,128,130,128)
Bio 1 Q Pack: 85%

That's all I have done so far, taking the sample FL and AAMC 2 next two weeks, and maybe an extra NS. Going through all the Q Packs and Section Banks too!

Thoughts?

From what I have heard CARS is resistant to quick change. But I have also heard that Psych is something that can be increased quickly assuming you hit it hard. So you have a shot I would say! But even a 517 is good enough for pretty much anywhere. So you're in good shape! Good luck 🙂

Btw which strat are you using for CARS? are you highlighting and taking notes? Dude, you made a 129 on verbal so you can do it 129/ 130 /130/130 = easy 520

Thanks!! I'm hoping going through all the CARS Q Banks and P/S Q banks will help out!

For me I've just tried to take it slow and fully comprehending the passage before I move to the next paragraph or question. After reviewing my AAMC FL 1, it seemed to work really well for me! I was just panicking at the end because it was taking more time than I expected 😛
Hopefully things will work out!
 
So I just finished the unscored FL today, and wanted to get peoples opinions/how to improve my weak spots!

I used the reddit MCAT conversion spreadsheet, it's ranging from a 518-522. But I'm not sure if that's inflated because of the relatively easy CARS section...thoughts?
