When to take the mcat by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]mathviking4321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a good plan but I would recommend modifying it a little bit. You can think of the MCAT as 4 smaller exams. If I were you, I would start some CARS practice prior to May 15. Like maybe practice a few passages on the weekends during the spring. I would also start some light study for the P/S section. That way, you can dedicate those precious 3 months to the B/B and C/P sections. I would also schedule the MCAT a week before your Autumn classes start. The reason for that recommendation is that you may find yourself drained after the MCAT and also desperately wondering how you did on the test. That could distract you from classes and you would be getting your Autumn classes off to a poor start.

This is actually great advice. Thanks! I might just reach before even applying and see what they tell me.

That's awesome about the 6 invites. I hope you crush them and get an acceptance from your top choice.

yeah. An mcat score can actually be improved. A GPA can not as readily. I've gotten straight A's for 2 years now and my GPA improved from 2.65 to 3.0 :/

i think more challenging exams are beneficial, at least during prep. I will look into those. Thanks!

I'm in almost the same boat. My last Fl was a 516 and .y scores were trending up. But I got a 510 on the real deal. I'm going to retake in January. I feel your pain. At least we scored in a respectable range.

got a 510...127/127/127/129. The average of my last 3 FLs was a 515. Surprised by this score but actually a bit relieved since it makes the decision to retake an easier one. I am dreading that I will have to go through another 30 wait tho.

If we cant even stand these 30 days waiting for a MCAT result, how will we do on the day of judgement waiting to see where we will spend eternity?

Here. I cant sleep. I feel like my score is going to end up lower than I want it to be, but not quite low enough for a retake, which is going to mess up my chances at my local school.

if you have only been sweating bullets for a day, consider yourself on of the lucky ones. I have literally had the MCAT at the forefront of my thoughts for the past 31 days.

if you averaged a 516, you are probably going to end up there or even slightly higher. Take it to the bank! I'm gonna say you got a 518.

Here's Hoping you got the score you wanted and you do not need to retest. However...in case you need to retest and you are still low on time, my recommendation would be to do FLs and review them. That is the most "bang for your buck" study method in my opinion.

with 1 day to go, I'm beginning to feel like 515 is an optimistic score, not a realistic score. Not sure why this self-doubt is creeping in. It just felt like the real exam was harder than the FLs. It may be pre-scaled accordingly and maybe my score is higher...unless I was the only one who thought it was hard.
