some days (or tests), i'm just real SLOW

[Sonya]

Members don't see this ad.

I'm perfectly capable of getting a 33, usually (as i have been for the last weeks to month): 10 VR, 11 BS, 12 PS. This week i did aamc 5, and re-did AAMC 6, and got ~35 (5: 11 BS 14 PS, did not score VR - bubble error; 6, re-do from i think a few weeks ago after analysis: 13 BS, 14 PS, 10 VR.
that 13 is probably high because i had previously analyzed the test, but it would still be 11/12

I can usually just about finish VR. Usually barely finish to 10 mins to check PS, and usually 3-20 mins to check bio.

occasionally, like today in when I do aamc 4R for the first time, I'm just real real slow. I did it a normal test times (7:30 am to 3 pm), and was not particularly tired or starved.
Then only thing i fully finished, right on time was one of the WS.

I barely got the the last paragraph in the other, I had about 6 qs left in PS, 4 in BS, and 12 in VR undone. i assumed days i was otherwise slow was b/c it was a difficult test, but this is a normal test, i do fine in the other AAMCs. I scored 4r and i got 8 V, 10 BS, 11 PS.... (29 total) which is about my scores when my first practice test... ever.

anything that could be making my brain slower today... or what...
I have one day left, and this is a great knocker out all the confidence and prep I acquired the entire several months.

the only difference i can see is that I did 5r this week starting at noon, after some other mcat work, and 6r repeat I started at 9 pm, after having waken up at 4 am that day (thus, i was studying before the test, relaxed and watched TV, chilled and studied lighlty from 5 am to 9 am, then did the test). today, i woke up at 6, showered/ate, cleaned the desk and started the test.

I plan to have an hour before the test to practice PS.

anyway (besides ranting) the purpose of this thread is... suggestion of speed. It's best for me (in those science test which were pulling in 14s.. once), to answer question, check for stupid mistake, move on. maybe I should zoom thru on the real test? but then, my 14 will probably drop to a 12, because that was my typical score before stategy was developed.

Do you think i should try to squeeze in another test tonight? (not a full one, need to keep body clock at this weird early schedule). I think it'll do something for confidence if i don't leave the last good test till the day before.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not start the flames that those are great scores, so i'm some sort of creep for posting. Because, i know some of you like to do it, so I already did it for you.

(sorry for length)

wtf is your problem posting scores like that...making us scoring lower feel like crap b4 the test???? JK, no one should flame you for doing well...anyways, take it easy for tonight and the following, and you will do well!!! Wish I had as much confidence as you at this point...I am shook and burnt from studying.

why in the world would you retake a test and then post your scores for a test you have retaken and scored.. who the hell wouldnt get a high score.. and by the way i like how you can give yourselves 14s and 13s when aamc scale goes up to only 12 and kaplan scales for those are not accurate. I took kaplan. so if this is how u make yourself feel good... go you.. why dont u do aamc6 a third time maybe ull get a 45! ya do anohter test tonite. that way youll bomb saturday.. poeple like u need to grow up.. bombs away saturday baby

 

[Rudy1223]

no ramoray, people like YOU need to grow up. Leave Sonya alone!

by the way, isn't this your 3rd time taking the mcat. You even mentioned in one of your messages that you have already taken all these exams. But here you are posting all your scores, which by the way, nobody cares about!

Can you say hypocrite??!!😛

 

[Ramoray]

hey you ****ing ignorant POS , do you see me posting any of my scores? no you mother ****er, why dont you learn to read or think before you speak *******. and btw havent you heard 3rd times a charm dumb****

 

[Rudy1223]

Ramoray,

Don't be ignorant. Your scores are posted ALL OVER the MCAT FORUM. Do a search, to remind yourself. 🙄

 

[bella_dottoressa]

Why put someone down for taking the mcat three times? I personally think it shows an enormous amount of determination and character and think it is admirable as hell.

....because, its Ramoray 🙂

How come i never got this many responses when I asked what to do about the "apply bio questions"???

Having subscribed to AAMC online, i get the score distribution past 12, which I will post here. If there is anyone who feels it's bragging.... close your eyes. I wish I had it earlier, so i'll let others have it.

I feel no reason not to post a score. I don't mind. I h aven't known anyone else who minds.

I redo tests because I run out of tests. No, i wont get a perfect score in a redo, because I don't memorize answers to individual test questions (well, i do for some, but not all).

Sorry if posting scores that are high make anyone uncomfortable. One more lesson from junior year was only to compare you against yourself (because there were to many bright kids in my class). Remember we all have different strengths, weaknesses, and expectations in the medical school application process.

And, i'm not that confident either.

Sonya

These are the grading thing.... as i said... close your eyes if you wish.
