Noticed there wasn't one of these pages made yet for the Sept. 3rd date.. anyone else out there writing then? 51 days!!
Just wondering what everyone else is going to do before the exam.
I think I might do one or two more practice exams over the next few days and then call it.
I really hope I do well on this.
Just registered for a retake on the 3rd, took it on 6/27 and got a 30-O. Retaking because I was really unbalanced, hadn't taken ORGO 2 yet.
PS/BS/VR-WS
12/08/10-O
Practice Tests:
#3 - 10/10/08 - 28 before exam krackers
#8 - 12/11/10 - 33 after exam krackers
Good luck everyone!
so I already took all the AAMC exams because i was preparing to take the test (and actualy took it) on 8/20 but don't think I did very well. I took all but one of them before and was getting like between 27 and 30 on most of them (with verbal being the bottleneck..). any suggestions on what I should do now? lol
I took AAMC 8 yesterday and got a 34 (13P/12B/9V) and i'm fairly happy with that but I have no other practice tests left lol...
anyone ever retake an AAMC test? I kinda want to do that to see if these last 2 weeks of studying will improve my scores but retake scores obviously don't predict very well...
So I took AAMC 8 yesterday and was really happy about it. got a 36! yay!
I think my plans for the rest of the time are to take 9 and 10 and review a little more till wendesday, and then take off thursday to rest. What are you guys eating the day before and the day of btw? still haven't figured how I should go about it. Don't wana be full the day of, and don't want to be starving by the end either.
Taking on the beast in exactly one week!!
Good luck studying everyone!!
Dude, i second on the carb loading. Being korean, that means a ton of rice for me! 😀 lol. Man. Verbal is just....[no comment]. 1 WEEK!
Though, here's my question: what about breaks? On my full lengths, I've been experimenting on what foods I'm considering for the test...Gonna try nuts this time around (luckily I don't have allergies...lol-can you imagine how horrid that would be if that happened on the real thing? lol), tried french bread and dried fruit on separate occasions. Hm. What about chocolate? mmmm?
HAS ANYONE ELSE LOST ALL MOTIVATION TO STUDY!?!?!?!!
At this point my scores are 2 points lower than where I want them to be because I am so burnt out and sick of studying (been studying since May).
All I want to do right now is eat pinkberry, watch HGTV, and play the Avatar game on my iPad.
I feel like drilling flashcards and doing more and more problems this next week will do nothing for me. I've been pretty relaxed about studying this past week too. Still have 3 practice tests left which I'm going to do.
gahhhhhh.

woah nice jump! which materials did you use? did you do the EK1001 problems?
EK Bio has brought my bio up from 9 (AAMC 9 and 7 i think) to 12 (AAMC 8, my last one). I don't know if thats because of luck (people say AAMC 8 is supposed to be easy) but I definitely feel more confident now attacking passages. I still have about 2/3 of the EK1001 Bio to go so hopefully I can get the Bio score up to 13.
yayyyy!!!! i'm so glad i'm not the only one!😀
my whole family has been telling me to just relax and when i hear this i'm just like "ahhh noo way are you crazy?!?!" but seriously, it feels so goooooooooood to relax for a couple hours a day after studying for this damn thing all summer.
after my post I took AAMC #10 and ended up with a 33: 12P 8V 13B
..........VERBAL WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!? you're killing me Smalls....
verbal please please please please please please (i beg of you!) be a 10 on test day!!
PRAYING for a 12, 10, 13 breakdown
Apparently I've been stressing myself out too much... got a really bad cold last week and I just developed an ear infection today 🙁 Ahhhhh what crappy timing!

Yeah...I'm really tired of studying. I haven't studied for 2 days straight X_X (Although I do have legit excuses).
But I don't think studying's really going to help me too much. I think it's more of a mental preparation thing. (at least I don't feel guilty for not studying haha). I'll probably just take 2 more practice tests and be done with it until test day.
GahhhhH! Less than a week!
At some point in the last few weeks I came to terms with the fact that I was never going to know EVERYTHING and that I knew enough and was smart enough (and gosh darn it, people like me...I've probably just dated myself there) and that I'd do just fine.
I'm getting so nervous about this exam! I was incredibly calm the past few weeks and just studying. But today, I don't know why, I have been just feeling a bit...restless...like I want this exam to be over with 🙁 I guess all I can do now is to review my notes and review the past aamc exams over and over. But when I see the stupid mistakes that I made on those exams, I can't help but feel even more nervous...lol
Don't worry, have more confidence in yourself. You've been studying for a long time, and you are much more ready than you think you are. If anything the worrying and the stress is what's hurting you on your practice exams. The biggest thing I've found that helps in stopping your stupid mistakes, is really taking your time and carefully reading each question, but that's hard to do if your freaking out on the test lol. Don't let anything bring down your confidence because if you do that really will hurt you on Friday.OH man i feel so depressed, i cant stop studying .... taking the practice exams not busting my confidence , it seems i always do stupid stupid mistakes ... reading the thread from people that took the 08/24 exam is freaking me out .....
iam not looking forward for this exam i have no confidence
this is my second time and i dont want feel disapointed in myself 🙁😕
i keep on telling myself i could do this but its not helping
Just cancelled my test 🙁 Probably to January....got so sick yesterday that I went to the ER, and I really think that stressing out about the exam won't help my road to recovery either....anyway, I wasn't getting what I wanted on my practice tests, so I guess its a change for the better!
I hope you all ROCK IT though on Friday! Let me know how it goes! I have a feeling AAMC will have an anomaly on their hands with everyone getting a 30+ on Friday 🙂

that's really too bad cubsfan17, funny how we tend to get sick at the worst of times.. i hope you're feeling better soon, and I'm sure you'll only do better now with the extra studying!!
I did AAMC 9 today and I couldn't concentrate at ALL. I mean it was bad, but I'm glad I went through with it just because i wanted to see how I would score. But all I know is I don't want to feel that tired on test day so I'm going to really lay low these next few days

Maybe you need to give yourself a break a little bit? I mean I feel like thats my problem. I took AAMC 9 today and couldn't concentrate at all, I had no idea what was going on. Maybe I should take it a bit easier? I'm not sure, just throwing it out there haha.
I took a kaplan full length today. PS 10 / VR 6 🙁 / BS 9
The verbal scale was ridiculous.
I'm SO nervous guys!!!! Anyone else??
