Hey SDN!
Am seeking some guidance on creating a study plan from here on out.
I have been studying for the MCAT since May and was originally planning to sit for the exam on Aug 21st but postponed my date to October 25th due to low AAMC scores. I followed SN2ed up to AAMC 3, which I scored a 22 on (8/6/8) during the third week of July followed by a 23 on AAMC 4 (8/8/7). I spent August doing EK 1001, going through Chad's videos pretty thoroughly and closing major content gaps. I feel a lot better about my content gaps because I feel that I didn't use Berkeley Review properly while going through SN2ed this summer.
I took Kaplan FL1 last week without Verbal and got a 9 on PS and 9 on BS, and am kind of wondering how to go about preparation from here. I'm suffering from serious anxiety about my test - I am left barely finishing the PS section on time, and am generally left with far too much time on BS. My errors on PS at this point seem to be difficulty comprehending the passage, errors eliminating answers, and smaller content gaps. Similar issues with BS. I have not focused as much on Verbal because I did AAMC 5 untimed and scored an 11 on verbal and am planning on doing AAMC verbal passages daily a month before my exam. Want to focus on improving PS and BS as much as possible.
At this point I have access to a full Kaplan course, all of the TPRHSW physics discretes/bio passages/physics passages/ochem passages/bio passages, etc., about half of EK 1001 physics left, AAMC 7-11, and I feel very overwhelmed with the amount of resources I have and feel that is very little time left to prepare. I am juggling school/work along with the MCAT and have set aside 3 full days during the week to study, so I definitely do have time to study and take FLs, I just feel like I need concrete direction on how to improve, and whether I have time to improve by October 25th or whether I should consider pushing my date to January.
Thanks!
