I haven't started studying for the mcat yet and took the AAMC biology portion just to see where I am at. I scored a 6 in BS. I have heard that scores only go up 1-3 points after studying.

Did anyone else score low on their first practice test?

I think the 1-3 pt improvement you're thinking about is the change in actual MCAT score on your second try. Scores fluctuate minimally between the 1st and 2nd try. You can definitely improve your score more than 3 points by studying your first go round.
