Hi,
I am sitting for the MCAT in 8 weeks, and I am nearing the end of my content review and preparing for the remaining 2 months with only practice questions/exams. During the week, I was going to do reinforcement/review of the material by doing Kaplan FL, Kaplan Section, and Kaplan Subject, and then do a FL practice AAMC each saturday. I have been told the trick is to never do the same exam/set of questions twice to avoid artificially inflating my scores and to avoid becoming complacent. With that in mind, I have heard that AAMC FL 3, 4, and 5 are somewhat easy and don't represent the actual tests as much as AAMC FL 6 through 11. Is this true? If so, when should I start doing the AAMC FL's, so that I do one each week, without exhausting them before the exam? Is it not advised to do an AAMC FL within a few days of the actual exam? Basically, since I have potentially 6 AAMC FL that are reliable indicators, should I wait two weeks to start them, or start them now and then not do any FL the week of my exam?
