Hey guys, I need some advice before rescheduling date deadline in 2 days. (Please help 🙂)
Im currently signed up for Jan. 25 MCAT and have been studying through the TPR course since October, and was full time studying for it.
I studied completely wrong I feel. I focused way too much on the content because I was overwhelmed by how much I didnt know (especially PS portion) but also because TPR had dense books so I took time to finish each chapter.
I feel didnt get enough practice in, and started to forget a lot of important details in content when it came to doing more practice after finishing my content. After a decent review for a couple weeks doing Self-review AAMC's (average scores), and extra passages on my weakness, I started to get onto FL's which I knew I started late.
At this point I have only done 2 FL's and have been devastated and unmotivated, and surely no way I can come out with a good score in the next 17 days.
AAMC 3 = 10PS 6VR 8BS (24) (jan. 2)
AAMC 4 = 9PS 5VR 7BS (21) (Jan 6)
---(why is my bio low?!? Its not my orgo section at all even!)
In between AAMC 3/4 I reviewed a lot of BIO but, even though Im a bio major, I dont understand why I do so poorly on it. My PS could've been much much higher if I had time, but that was a huge issue for me. I dont understand why I went down in my score too, after getting in the mind set and practicing/reviewing more in between. Also my VR is horrendous. I didnt keep enough practice for a few weeks in between but other than that, each 1-2 days I would do a few passages from EK101 and TPRH and I wouldst be scoring high, but not as low as this. (I just need an 8-9+ for my that school I need, but obv. the higher is needed).
There is so much practice that I havent done yet like extra TPR tests, more content passages, more VR passages, and there's a lot of review I need to do. I have used up my time process very wrong (mostly on Physics/chem learning as I was very poor on it). I need to review my AAMC4 from last night but I feel so unmotivated as these should be one of the easier tests. Could I make progress in the next 17 days or is it better to just reschedule (to April 11)?
Personally I feel the extra time would give me the little break I need (feeling burnt out) and let me focus on my weakness and challenge them (Attacking passages properly, VR, content, more practice etc.) but is it more beneficial to get the test day experience etc.? I dont think that would be an issue for me if I feel that my AAMC's resemble slighlty what I need to get on the real mcat which is NOT the case at all. I think my score could really enhance if I wrote it in Apr. vs. Jan. but I could be on the verge of having everything click in 😛 not sure, just kind of upset.
What would you do?
THANKS
