Yeah, I know, it's weird that my AAMC scores were, for the most part, identical.
A major factor is how much time there is inbetween your practice tests. I take my FLs one week apart from one another. My first four AAMCs had an average of 33 (range of 31-36). I then stopped taking AAMC FLs for about a month and did the first four Kaplan FLs instead. After that I went back to doing AAMC FLs and my average from AAMC 8-10 is 37 (range of 36-37).I don't think it's that weird. The tests are written so that they cover a wide range of material and that people get consistent scores (it wouldn't be fair if there was a consistently huge variance between different test dates). My AAMC practice tests were all within 1-2 points as well.
I've chosen to do primarily VR, since I believe this is the only section where practice truly makes perfect.[/I][/SIZE]
Hi, I'll be taking my MCAT in about two weeks - April 4 - and have been studying since January. I wish I felt more confident about it but doubt I'll ever feel 100%.
Regardless, I am confused on what to be doing/studying because I have so much material that I still havent used. I have 5 Berkeley CBTs left and 6 AAMC as well as Self Assessments. I'm scoring BS 11- 12 VR 11- 12 PS 8 - 9. I clearly have room for improvement but don't know if covering certain material, like 1001 questions is a waste of my time. Help!
My study plan is taking a test everyday for this upcoming week (all berkeleys and one AAMC) and then the next week taking an AAMC every other day and not taking any two days prior to the real exam. In between I'm going over weak areas and have done one self assessment (chem) which seemed helpful.
I'll appreciate any advice! Thanks
