Hello!
I am currently ~2.5 months into MCAT studying. I took an AAMC FL practice test at the end of October 2021 and scored a 492. I then began TPR course and took a TPR FL a couple weeks into the class and scored a 498. My next two TPR FL scores were 494 and 498 respectively, with the second score of 498 being from this past weekend. I've heard that third party tests are harder than AAMC and even deflated, but my first AAMC being a 492 makes me wonder how much my TPR FLs were really deflated, if that makes sense. My real MCAT is scheduled for April 29 and I am committed to that date because I do want to apply during the 2022-2023 cycle. Based on some research I've done, I understand it would be wise to save the remaining 3 AAMC FL practice tests for closer to my exam date. I'd appreciate any and all advice (and reassurance as this process is quite anxiety inducing haha, but worth it!). Additionally, if you have any tips on how I can find more resources that provide me with questions that moreso resemble the AAMC style prior to me taking the rest of the AAMC FLs, that would be great! Thank you
