anyone else taking the MCAT this day?
I'm next. I'm studying for this date too or maybe the 16th I don't know yet. How far are you?
I just finished doing all of my content review. Now I'm done with all the EK 1001 books, the TPR Science Workbook, and Berkeley Review Phase I and II passages for all books but bio. I'm doing Bio Phase I and II this week and doing some other random passages I have, then I start FLs hopefully by the beginning of next week.
Alright guys see if you can help with this.
I just finished reviewing O-chem again that I did back in Feb. and biology I haven't touched since march/april so I want to spend a few days going over that again. For TBR I usually get over 13 on OChem/GChem/Physics on Phase I and II. I've done no verbal yet though. I'm planning on 7 TBR, AAMC 3-10, and maybe Kaplan 1-5 but I don't know if I should keep kaplan or not?
Here's to some good studying starting June 13th! I don't know how it will work but I am planning 10-12 hour days... I am scared I will get burned out but we will see...
Unfortunately, I used all of the AAMC practice exams the first time I took the mcat. Now I don't know what to use for practice. Do you guys have any advice on what to use? And where to get a hold of them?
Thanks.
S2N has a post up top, I think the consensus after AAMC is Kaplan 1-6. I wouldn't put too much stock in the verbal of these though.
I also took Kaplan FLs 1-10. Anything after that?

Yeah, you're probably right.
Lesson? Do what works in your own situation.
I go over every FL after I take it. It should take you like 2 to 3 times longer to review a FL than it does to take it. This is the best tool (for me at least). I have done all the content review I need, the only thing to do now is work on test taking skills, and find out why the right answers were right (especially for ones that you made a best guess on) and why I chose the wrong answer on the others. This really helps me eliminate common wrong answer choices on the next practice test I take.
P.S. There really isn't a lot of people posting on here....... I know there's more of us than this right?
And me. I'm just waiting to start FLs right now. Probably after this weekend. I'll start posting more then probably about thoughts and feelings I guess.
I usually use Fridays nights but I'm behind this week so this Friday night is a study night. I'm trying to do 20 but we'll see how that goes. I think I can do it if I can keep my sanity with 12-14 days straight of FLs.
I just hope I'm scoring high. That means less post game. The better you do the first time around means the less you have to learn when reviewing. If I get close to my TBR scores I'll be happy so we'll see.
And why are we having a conversation in two different threads?
when you guys do the FL's do you guys do both of the prompts in the writing section as well? or do you just skip them?
