SOS need help w/ MCAT

[premed3life]

So, I just finished taking NextStep 3 and I went down 3 points from NextStep 2. Cearly, whatever I am doing isn't working. I'm going to be a retaker, first exam I scored a 500. Testing on 6/26, so any and all advice would be helpful. So far, I have the Uworld Q-bank, everything AAMC, and the EK CARS. I have been creating my own anki decks but tbh I think it's taking a lot of time, so if anyone can recommend great pre-med anki decks that will be really appreciated.

Here are my scores in the order of exams taken:

NS 1: 500 (125/123/126/126)
Altius 1: 499 (125/123/125/126)
NS 2: 504 (126/126/126/126)
NS 3: 501 (124/123/128/126)

* Plz excuse any grammar mistakes bc I am currently typing this as I am crying. Plz help sos

I made notes and flash cards with uworld and got a 512 with no practice tests. I would study the wrong answers too

Those NS scores are decent. Take the AAMC Sample and see where you stand. Nothing else will be remotely accurate. I was 506-510 range on NS and scored 518+ on AAMC.

You're welcome sorry I couldn't type a more detailed response earlier my kid was asleep on me so I only had 1 arm to type with. Every wrong answer is the right answer to a different question. If you make notes from uworld you will have spent hundreds of hours making them.

Take your NS scores with a grain of salt- I had many students who scored sub 500 end up with 515+. Use NS to find knowledge gaps and practice test pacing.
