Hello?
Hmm so this was my original planned date, but with working 40 hours a week as an engineering intern and having incredibly low scores so far on the couple TPR tests I've taken...I'm thinking about pushing to September 10th or 12th. How far along are you guys? I feel like my content review is super behind lol because the majority of questions I get wrong are because I don't know the subject matter well enough (or at all). I am planning on taking the last two weeks of August off before school and going nuts with studying and then perhaps changing to September 10...what yall think?
I dont know what is wrong with my verbal skills...I keep getting exactly 30 out of 40 in almost all the EK verbal passages that I've done. I did 6 already. Its frustrating that I'm not improving.
Does anyone know about this people called Prep 101? I took one of their practice verbal today...I got a 5 out of 18....which is ridiculously insane.
Any new ideas will be appreciated!
Thanks Feather...I hope I improve to at least a 34 before the 10th of AugFrom what I have heard about EK Verbal, a 10 (30/40), will translate to an 11-12 on an actual MCAT. Which is not bad.
Prep 101? Idk. Just do the last 8 EK verbals, a bunch of FLs, and you will be fine.
Good luck
ladygwennie, what were you getting on the Kaplan FLs when you took the course? Did you compare that to your AAMCs? I am curious since all I am using for my review is Kaplan.
I took the test 2 years ago while taking 2 summer school classes and working-not a great Idea.
I have now devoted the last 6 weeks and will devote the next 3 weeks (until the test) solely to this god forsaken test.
Using:
TPR book
Kaplan high yield problem book/flash cards/study guides
Exam busters notecards
My roommates left over EK books
-My biggest problem though is getting my damn verbal score up!
For verbal try the EK 101 book and EK strategy, verbal is by far my weakest point, and ive been working at it and turned my 8 (on the actual test) up to 10 with EK practice, still have a lot more work to do on it, but next 3 wks are going to be intense...
How are you doing on the kaplan full lengths?
Will be retaking the MCAT August 25th, since my MAY 28th performance was absolutely awful. Wish everybody luck here and here we go 8/25/2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha! We actually have only 228 hours and 4 minutes left before we click on "start my test". We gotta ace this test. Who is taking the test in New York?omg 10 days away...well 9 if you don't count the day of the mcat, so yes 9 days.
Lets rip this mates. 45T everyone. Nothing lower...I mean we don't even know how to get any lower.
so i did not study through a prep course, is there anything that really helped anyone who took a course that you would recommend i look into during this final week?? thanks
