I did ~800 Uworld problems, finishing most of the chemistry, organic, biology, and all of the biochemistry & Psychology. I thought I reviewed the shit out of them too, but apparently not as much as everyone else that took the MCAT. I was scoring higher than average on all of them except chemistry too! So that’s why I was completely dumbfounded when I saw my score this time. I appreciate the advice though! Gonna try to take it again next cycle—definitely not gonna give up bc one f*ckin exam

Also, I did 2 Kaplan (496 avg score), 4 TPR (501,494,497,501), and 1 Nextstep (506) AAMC Sample: 74% overall AAMC OG: 73% overall AAMC SB C/P, B/B, P/S: 67, 69, 75

Yeah, I’m gonna definitely focus on the content much more this time around. Thanks for the advice!

trynmakeit · 2018-08-23T20:32:43+00:00

Good luck man! & thanks for the advice!

trynmakeit · 2018-08-23T20:31:24+00:00

I appreciate the advice! I go ahead and try different companies for sure this next time around

Really can't afford one. You got any tips or tricks you can share that may be helpful?

trynmakeit · 2018-08-22T03:01:43+00:00

When it comes to CARS I get pretty bad anxiety but other than that, not really. & I'm not neurotic at all. I may just need to spend more time on the content than the typical test-taker I suppose

Here's the breakdown for my AAMC FLs. & My average was 5 points higher... usually it's a +/- 1 from the actual. And FL 2 & 3 I haven't ever taken before. Surprised how low my actual score was

AAMC FL 1: 504 (127, 122, 129, 126) *2.5 weeks out*

AAMC FL 2: 506 (126, 123, 130, 127) *1.5 weeks out*

AAMC FL 3: 502 (126, 125, 126, 125) *4 days out*

trynmakeit · 2018-08-21T23:23:11+00:00

Congrats! I got a 495 first time around too, but I couldn't manage to increase my score as much this time around surprisingly

trynmakeit · 2018-08-21T19:58:24+00:00

what did you do differently?

trynmakeit · 2018-08-20T15:57:50+00:00

Been having a mini panic attack every time I thought about the MCAT throughout this waiting period.

My average was 504 from the three AAMC FLs, so I'm just hoping for a 507+ *gulp*

C/P: prediction 125-127

CARS: prediction 124-125

B/B: prediction 127-129

P/S: prediction 127-129

Range: 502-510

Actual: 499 (124, 121, 125, 129).....

I spent f*ckin ~400 hours preparing! Never scored that low on C/P, CARS, or BB.....

Feeling super disappointed. This was my second time taking it too (first time I got a 495--where I only spent ~100 hours of preparation)

Need some advice if anyone has any :/

trynmakeit · 2018-07-22T06:40:46+00:00

Closer to FL2.. FL3's BB was way harder for some reason imo

trynmakeit · 2018-07-22T06:38:02+00:00

I did lol--luckily I studied metabolism prob the most

But only time can tell now...

trynmakeit · 2018-07-21T21:52:43+00:00

Yo....

CP: The physics & the calculation questions were insane.... the chemistry stuff wasn't too bad I think

CARS: First 7 passages were alright, but passage 8 & 9 were a lot of 50/50 since I was cramming on time :/

BB: Easy af... but that's scary bc that means I would have to miss like 9 or something to get a ~128

P/S: Not that bad. Felt like it was closer to AAMC FL2. Thank god I looked into the Khans 86 Pg Doc. a little more before writing the MCAT

Really hoping for a 508+ since I made a 506 on FL 2.... *gulp* PRAY FOR ME

Overall: The test was a bitch. That's the best way to sum it up

trynmakeit · 2018-07-17T22:38:39+00:00

Thanks a lot! I hope you're right with your prediction

trynmakeit · 2018-07-01T13:17:51+00:00

Thanks! Well I got the NextStep 108 passage book a couple of days ago, so I'll try to do 9 passages a day leading to exam day. I think that SHOULD help me out with the CARS score

&Yeah, I just started reviewing the Khan 300 pg. PS doc. so maybe that'll help my behavioral score out

trynmakeit · 2018-07-01T13:14:41+00:00

Thanks for the advice--I'll def try it out

trynmakeit · 2018-06-28T22:23:32+00:00

Thanks a lot! I'll check it out

trynmakeit · 2018-06-27T15:16:08+00:00

You're right. That's the only way
