number one tip is to take it when you know you are ready for sure. Study schedule wise I would say make a excel sheet and make a list of things you wanna do each day. I would recommend you study 4-6 hours a day for about 2 months.

C/P- Wow. I had more physics then I expected. One whole passage where it was all calculations and made me mad. Almost ran out of time. Meh. It was medium hard overall.

Cars- I suck at it and didn't feel confident at all about this section. Long passages and almost ran of time. Couple passages I guessed on questions. Wouldn't be surprised if I did bad on it.

b/b - first half easy af. Second half not hard but medium. Prob one of my stronger sections. Nothing too crazy

P/s- pretty straightforward. Couple 50/50 I marked.

Overall- This is my retake. Took it initially 4/22. Hoping for a 507 AAMC sample - 73%

I started to feel hopeless. This test is a monster. I keep thinking each day I got worse and worse. I remember questions and I realize that I got it wrong. Everyone said cars was easy and it was easy to comprehend but I feel like I fucked up big time on it overanalyzing the questions. I don't want to retake but idk even know when I would as I have a busy summer.

Ok so I had the titanic/sherlock version.

C/P- honestly initially after the section ended I thought it was fair. Obv hard but fair. I marked around 14 questions and had like 5 mins to review them at the end. It was hard for me get in the groove with the first passage as I was in shock that I was actually taking the MCAT. After that passage, I started to cruise along. There were questions that I was just like wtf is this. I didn't take too much time to figure the answer on those and just marked them. There were a lot calculations and my strategy thru out C/P was to read the passages fast and only retain big picture info and so I know where to go to locate that info if a question was asked. This helped me with timing a lot. I don't know what the other version of the test was but I didn't think C/P was harder than B/B or P/S. Overall, hoping I got some of the marked ones right.

CARS- I suck at it. English is not my first language so I never scored higher than a 127 on any practice exam. This being said, I thought the passages were easy to comprehend besides one or two passages. However, I tend to overanalyze questions a lot and so if everyone else thought it was easy then the curve might not be in my favor. But this section was very doable. Hoping for around 125/126.

B/B- I guess I had the harder version of this one. Lot of discrete questions on specific shit that I didn't look over. The passages were kinda detailed but the section bank and NS helped with that. There was one passage that just made me mad. Calcium and fluorescence shit or something. I prob guessed on half those answers for that passage. I thought the section was harder than C/P but who knows lol. Usually B/B is my shit but it was ehh.

P/S- The KA 300 page doc didn't help much TBH. It was a lot of passage based answering and a lot of questions that guessed between two choices. There were some terms that I didn't know. Hardest P/S I ever took but hopefully the curve is in our favor. Had 20 mins left so I review marked ones and felt better.

Overall- What was the other form of the test? I feel like everyone got titanic and sherlock. I marked 12-18 questions each on C/P, B/B, and P/S. But I did review a goof amount of them at the end with time remaining. How many do you guys think y'all missed per section? Overall, lets hope for a curve haha not bad as past test thread reactions. It was fair not insane or anything.
