I've been studying for the MCAT for about 6 months. I started taking a Princeton Review class in February and dropped out of it in early March since I didn't think it was helping me. I didn't study that much for two weeks in March while trying to find a new tutor. Throughout all of this time, I was still taking Physics II with a useless professor and working part time. I was studying the entire time and really focusing on Physics since that's my main weak area. I didn't focus on Gen Chem, Orgo or Bio that much, but probably didn't devote enough time.
I finally cut my hours drastically in mid April while still going to school (1 class) and doing volunteer work. I'm still not done reviewing all of the content (eg. most of Orgo, some Gen Chem, some Physics, some Bio) but I want to take the test on June 23 so I can apply this cycle.
My score went from a 20 (in February) to a 26 (May). My scores have been the following: 20, 22, 24, 25, 23, 26. Good improvement in Bio (6 to a 10), but not much movement in PS. Verbal is stuck at between a 9 and 11.
Is it unrealistic to take the test in June? If I haven't improved to my target score in 6 months, should I just throw in the towel and give up on this cycle, take the test in September and hope to god I get in? I really want it, but I know that <30 MCAT won't get me anywhere. I'm so terrified because I don't want to take the new MCAT (would require a TON of extra classes and I already have a degree) and so next year is the one and only time I can apply and hope to get in.

Current sGPA: 3.78 (but I have some Bs that they will include from ugrad from math)
