Alright here it is, my overview of the 05/23/13 MCAT.
This is the last time that I am ever taking this test. It's my fourth time! 😱
I started taking them a few years ago and couldn't break a 30. The level of maturity needed to properly prepare for this test was not something this 21 year old had at the time (I'm 21 right now). I had dropped out of high school, and was taking undergrad very lightly because I was going to finish it in 3 years time. Not putting in any/much studying due to burn out from school, I underestimated this guy THREE times!
Anyway, I had been doing clinical research my first gap year and finally found the time to properly study for the MCAT. 😉
Started in January with videos, audio, review books..I put in the work. I wasted less than $50 on my prep. On Monday, I took CBT-11 and scored a 34 (13/10/11).
My feelings on today's test:
PS: I was a little disappointed because something came up that I had never even seen before. I actually got that question right! Some of the passages were definitely longer than anything I had previously seen on any physical sciences section. It felt as if I was doing verbal or biological sciences. I don't recall much from the exam, except maybe guessing on a very small number of questions. It seemed pretty straight forward. My prediction, a 10.
VR: Always my worst section. No excuses, but I am a European immigrant from a country that doesn't even use the this alphabet. Easiest and most straightforward verbal section I have ever seen. If I recall correctly, I found maybe two passages difficult. Prediction: 9
BS Some boring, convoluted biology passages. 😴😴😴
The rest was a cake. Prediction: 10
Trial: I thought I put down that I took Biochemistry. 🙁 why no biochem???🙁🙁
Complaints: My runny/stuffy nose gave me a headache. Sore throat definitely didn't help either. I always took more than 10 minutes during the breaks, and I can't figure out why.
Life will change from now on. I will find the time now to contemplate why I exist.
