What should She Do-postpone? (MCAT and Application)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
From the MCAT Discussion forum, I've seen many people suggest that it would be preferable that in the few practice tests before the real MCAT test, you should be scoring 2 points above your desired score. Your friend's average is 22-23 and should expect to score around this. Not sure if this would be enough for DO and I am concerned with her fluctuations in the science section as well as the consistent 6 on the verbal which can be difficult to improve and most people actually report LOWER scores on the verbal section than what they got in practice. With such a risk with the verbal score, I would advise her to postpone unless she can see marked improvement in the next week in her verbal score/an increase in the average last two/three practice tests to at least where she would like her score to be.
