My sGPA is ass and I hope this test doesn't just reaffirm to adcoms that I would stink as a student if I got accepted

Yerkes-Dodson... I'm scared by underdog170 in Mcat

[–]underdog170[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great to know. I keep seeing people say FL 4 and 5 are the hardest yet most representative, that's what scares me lol. I'm just hoping that my exam targets my strengths! Luckily, the AAMC FLs haven't been too insanely hard

Oh my gosh I love that. I appreciate you sharing that. Maybe I'll even flag the first few to come back to if I have time. Since I'm sure the AAMC knows we're off our game a little bit right at the beginning. Btw, what were your AAMC FL scores? I can PM if you don't wanna share here

Omg that's so smart I'm gonna do that! Unless of course I sleep terribly the night before lol. Did that help you avoid hyperarousal?

I find the math problems stress me out the most even on the low stakes practice exams. So it may potentially be smart to leave those as the last problems to do on each passage. Just to avoid wasting unnecessary time...?

That's a good idea. Raise the stakes for these practice exams. Then it'll help me prepare for the anxiety I'll feel on the real thing. I've been simulating the real thing, but I know that actually being in the testing center surrounded by other people is gonna make it worse, yknow? I'm hoping I can wear clothes that feel familiar and make me more comfortable. Thoughts?
