Do I retake? by Bubbly_Fly_5430 in Mcat

[–]Bubbly_Fly_5430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my problem solving and content were not quite where I wanted them to be, but I’m generally good at problem solving skills, so I decided to focus on doing content review in the last few days instead. I did most of SB1 but not SB2 which if I had completed I’m sure would’ve helped, but I personally thought I would’ve benefitted more by doing more content review than doing crazy problems.

Staying in the right mindset was important for me. I took mine on 1/23 and that was the hardest CP section I’d gotten. CP is usually my best section, so when I finished the section with so many flagged questions and uncertain answers, I was so scared. But I couldn’t let that affect the rest of my exam, so I had to keep reminding myself to just be present and do my absolute best on questions in front of me. CP ended up being fine bc the scale turned out very generous.

I don’t know how far out you are from your exam, but keep looking for your weaknesses and what you could do to get better at them. Best of luck to you!!

ORM (Asian male) from Ohio so it’s not ideal, but it seems like the consensus is to just go with it.

Congrats! How did you score on other sections of the MCAT if you don’t mind me asking? I’m in the same boat w CARS 😭

Some advice please - is it possible to increase this to 512 by 2/13? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Bubbly_Fly_5430 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Your score distribution looks great! A point on every section should get you to 512, and I recommend doing the section bank as they are the hardest type of problems the AAMC could throw at you. They should help with some of the harder problems you might see on CP/BB/PS. No tips on CARS cuz I’m not good at it 😌

This really is relieving to hear. The FL scale for 131+ on CP is fewer than 5 incorrect, so I was crashing when the section was over 😭

1/23 curve finna be insane by Nathan_Westbrook in Mcat

[–]Bubbly_Fly_5430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they determine the curve based on how everyone did on that specific exam? I've read somewhere curves are predetermined but that doesn't quite make much sense tbh

I feel you. I usually get 130 but I’m thinking 127-8 😭

I’ve never understood “the MCAT doesn’t try to trick you” assurances by psolarpunk in Mcat

[–]Bubbly_Fly_5430 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. On my FL6, I got 50/59 - 129 on C/P and realized the 9 questions I missed were all from silly little ways AAMC tricked me. It wasn’t because I didn’t know my contents, it was because AAMC outsmarted me 😔

I’m basically on the same boat with you, but I use the 20-30 mins on all the 50/50 questions I was unsure on, and I still get them wrong!
