Oh, I did manage to get my highest score all summer on Test 8 so that’s one bright spot. I may try the Examkrackers books next year b/c they seem to be simpler and many of you have done well with them.Īny words of wisdom or support? For those of you who did well or are currently doing well, how did you study? I spent so much time and money (lots of $$ in gas, parking, etc.) on the MCAT and feel like I got nothing in return. I am currently aiming for a July or August 2007 test date. I obviously have not studied the right way although I’m not sure how you can really study for the MCAT? I thought I’d be able to study in 12 weeks and get an amazing score, but that’s not happening so I’m going to try studying throughout the year and hard-core next summer. I suck at everything, but hey at least I’m consistent. When I get my diag sheets back, there is a breakdown of categories but in my case, it doesn’t matter. My scores are evenly bad across all sections (Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Verbal) although I have improved the most overall in Verbal. I usually get them half-wrong (or more), and my tests are about the same. How did you all study for it? Flash cards? Working problems? I have read all the TPR book chapters and then I do the problems. The MCAT is the hardest thing I’ve ever done and it makes me concerned for my future because I know if I can’t get past it, I can’t be a doctor. I have learned everything (via class) that could possibly be on the MCAT, but mastered nothing. I study 4-6 hours per day and class is M-Th for 2.5 hours a day. I have attended every class (except for two) and taken all the diags. or even overseas), and I have been so depressed all summer. I just took Test 8 and next Saturday is either Test 7 or Test 9.īasically, my scores are so awful I could not get into any medical school with them (M.D., D.O. The last two Saturdays before the MCAT, TPR actually gives two AAMC tests. I did take a prep class (TPR) and I’ve taken 5 full-length practice tests: 3 as part of the class and 2 on my own. I’m not stupid, just lacking in the critical thinking/analysis skills the MCAT requires. I am not going to post my scores because they are very low and I don’t want you all to think I’m stupid. Therefore, I will obviously wait a year to apply and take it next year. The August MCAT is less than 2 weeks away, and I’ve decided that I am not taking it even though I was registered for it. Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile, but it’s been a hard summer and I’m very discouraged over the MCAT.
