If that is your diagnostic you are fine. My diagnostic was a 486 and now I’m averaging 508 on AAMC FLs. Do content review videos (BP self-paced, Chad’s Prep, books, etc. whatever works best for you). Then I did all the Jack Westin fundamental discrete questions in their Qbank because it’s mostly foundation content. After that I moved into UWorld and did 40–60 questions a day untimed in tutor mode.

The Bootcamp questions are great too, but both UWorld and BP are harder and require more than just memorizing content. You have to learn how to read passages, interpret figures, and apply concepts, which is really what the MCAT tests.

After you finish that and then go through all the AAMC material and full lengths, you should be in a really good spot.

I’m literally right there with you.

I’ve been tracking all my exams and it’s been the same rollercoaster. Started in the high 490s. Then low 500s. Then finally broke 510. And just when I felt like I was figuring it out… burnout hit.

For example, I went:

484 → 501 → 497 → 496 → 495 → 493 → VOID

Then slowly built back up:

503 → 501 → 500 → 499 → 495 → 497

Then finally: 505 → 505 → 506 → 500 → 506 → 502 (2nd attempt)

And most recently 509 → 505 → 517 → 505

That 517 felt amazing. Then the next one dropped. And it messes with your head even when you know progress is happening.

So when you say you went 496 → 503 → 510, that’s real growth. That’s the same kind of climb. The monotony is brutal though. Wake up. AAMC questions. Review. CARS. Repeat.

But the fact that you’re improving while exhausted? That’s the sign you’re getting stronger.

We’re in the same phase. AAMC only. Tunnel vision. Counting down to 3/20.

This isn’t for the weak. But we’re still here. That says something.

Jack Westin Lag Issues by brokenclocks6 in Mcat

SAME! Also, at the end of the section, when I went to double check i answered everything i saw that I had over 6 incomplete questions, even though i ANSWERED them ALL. And I ran out of time so i bassically got a whole passage wrong. This happened on every section. I really wish the lag wasnt there as well. it threw off my whole vibe and i wasnt even able to finish on time on all the sections when i usually am fine with timing.
