As a second time taker I haven't been actually getting nervous until today. Gonna do light content review tomorrow and try to chill.

I really don't know how I feel about this right now though...

edit: however, it does lighten my mood knowing that once I take that test Thursday, I will NEVER have to think about inorganic chemistry, physics, and orgo

Pretty burnt out lol. Kinda resigned to the fact that there isnt much that I can learn anymore. Just gonna relax tonight, do a couple passages tomorrow and then sleep early. It's all about being focused. Hbu?

i know everyone is gonna advise against it but..... im gonna take the gchem self assessment tomorrow morning cause I never got around to doing it and its my last one. Then im gonna chill and look over past exams or something. Probably skim certain chapters that I think I should look over once more. Im gonna sleep slightly earlier tonight as well as tomorrow

Retaker here. Got a 28 (10,9,9) first time around, which is 5 points below my AAMC average.

So I've taken the last 4 weeks and hit TPR Hyperlearning (the giant tome of practice problems) for physics and chem. Haven't hit a whole ton of bio or orgo since I was scoring 9-10 in that section already and I figure improvement there is not the work of 4 weeks.

Also did a bit of verbal. I think keeping my head cool is what's going to make the difference tomorrow. I guess we'll see how my strategy works out.

Good luck to everyone!

Re-reading all my biology notes and doing verbal passages to keep my mind fresh for tomorrow.

Good luck to all of us...I really hope we all get a 30+...pray to what you believe in and have faith...

A friend and fellow retaker of mine has proclaimed tomorrow the "end of an era." I hope that can apply to all you as well.

Good luck, ya'll.

As all of you leave the test you WILL be very eager to discuss your experience. Remember to hold your tongue on the details of the test. It is not worth it to be found out and possibly have your score disposed of.

See I felt that biological sciences was worse for me. Will be signing up for an August exam, going to do more content review with Berkeley instead of exam krackers for bio.

PS kicked my butt. The other two felt on par with my practice exams. Unfortunately, VR is usually my strongest and I just felt okay about it, so I don't think it's really going be to pulling up my score. I guess we'll see in 30-35 days.

That was much harder than most of the AAMC's, and the physics was harder than AAMC 11. I really hope they curve this easier than 11 was curved. These 33 days are gonna be brutal.

I thought the PS section tested topics which I did not really focus on ( just my luck ), which sucks because PS is usually ok for me. I thought Bio was ok and struggled with time on verbal. Hopefully im not the only one feeling like this was harder than any practice and that they did poorly.

Took about 11 or 12 FLs and in comparison I found

PS: Ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous. I was getting my highest scores in PS going into the exam, walked out feeling like this will end up being my lowest score.
VR: Verbal was verbal.
BS: A lot of tricky questions.

PS: What. Was that. I'm gonna go with a 9 at the highest on this one.

VR: Enjoyable reads I thought, but a lot of questions had two attractive choices I had a hard time deciding between. Left one, possibly two questions blank on accident. Probably got a 10/11 here.

BS: topics were related to my research so I wasn't intimidated by them, but still, I had to make educated guesses. Not too orgo-heavy, pretty standard compared to the practice AAMCs. Thinking at least a 9/10 here.
