Katsvo Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I still don't know when I'm gonna write, probably June or even July.. I don't think I have enough time to study though.. Anyway, if anyone wants to form a study group at McMaster, PM me please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globy321 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I was just wondering does anyone know what was the opening date for the 2009 registration year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crecigmi Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 It's really tough to improve. I mean, besides the last rewrite (where I luckily scored a 5 on verbal from my previous 10), I have never scored less than a 9 and always fall between 9-11 on ~90% of my tests. It seems like no matter what I do, I'm going to be in this range. I'm going to do verbal every other day from now and on and just really examine my thinking patterns and work hard to keep energy up during the full hour of the test. Hopefully this increases my chances of scoring in the upper range. Good post. I appreciate it Many thanks to ur post. I love it. That's pretty good.

The Law Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Just wrote my first practice physical science section (TPR Practice 4). I got a ten! Pretty good considering I have only looked at the material once and haven't done the earlier chapter of physics in more than a month! I just have to review a bit now, memorize some equations, and practice! 2.5 months to go... I'm in good shape. Tomorrow will work on verbal. Will start reviewing and practicing biology tomorrow too!

Octavius Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'll just write on a Saturday afternoon, whichever day has that I'm cool with. I'm kinda pissed though, I have to re-write with a 31R (12/9/10), I'm aiming for (10/10/11)R minimum. *Sigh* I think we a long while before the app deadline, maybe not so much for the States though apparently you don't want to write that MCAT later than May 1st for June 1 deadlines.

The Law Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Gosh, I really hope I don't have to write again after this attempt. Gotta stay positive though. I'm going to kill it. No more verbal flukes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Neill Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Gosh, I really hope I don't have to write again after this attempt. Gotta stay positive though. I'm going to kill it. No more verbal flukes!! Yeah, that was a once in a lifetime fluke so at least you've gotten it over with. Your next write should be golden. Good luck!

The Law Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks buddy. I certainly hope so. I gotta also figure out how to get my bio score up, I should be doing better than what I was scoring last time around! I will try doing the whole "pretend it's a verbal" thing... maybe that'll help. Now I'm catching up on my bio readings, practicing verbal + ps in the meantime. I'm still weak in waves, electricity & magnetism, and optics... so I'm working at becoming more confident with those types of problems. Hopefully by the start of next month I will start adding bio tests into the mix and things should start flowing more. It's just been really tough because my Master's is giving me little time for anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Neill Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Yeah, I tried not to have to do anything while I was studying. I stopped working and lived off the money I had saved, and definitely was not taking classes. My mind was all MCAT for a few months, which helped a lot I think.

The Law Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Blah, just did my first bio section. TPR test 4, ended up with a 10. The exact same score I got when I wrote that test 2 years ago. *sigh* I'd say 98% of the time, I get a 10 on my bio diagnostic tests. I have no idea how to get this section fixed. Oh well, it's still very early and I suppose it's an okay start. I just don't know what to do to get better!! Edit: OUCH! I died during the orgo questions! Otherwise the test looks okay. I need to make sure my orgo is up to par. Of the 11 questions I got wrong, 7 were orgo. I haven't done orgo in 2 months. Time to review. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Wow make that 9 of the 11 questions were orgo. I WILL get my orgo skill back and KILL biology. *begins evil laugh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Man. So tired. I have so much lab work to do and trying to do MCAT at the same time has been hard. I'm doing my best, but it's so frustrating. I haven't had time to do anything from PS since Nov 18. So worried that I'm neglecting it! It was my goal to spend Dec and January doing tests everyday, but I'm not doing nearly as many as I wanted and I still don't feel that strong in the PS section (or bio yet. I'm currently reviewing orgo because I forgot all the details since I did it too long ago). We'll see where I stand in a few weeks, but maybe I'll move my test to the next session.

Take baby steps. You'll be surprised at how much you can retain in baby steps and how much ground you can cover. Even 10 minutes of focused reading and understanding is good (for content review). With that being said, I should start exam review!! Been putting it off for too long. Uncool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thanks orange. Baby steps indeed! I've reviewed 4 chapters of orgo (of 6) in the last 2 days! And it's starting to come back to me. Gotta keep it up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna8 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hey Law, just curious, when are you planning to take the MCAT? I'm planning to take the MCAT early next year too and I haven't really started so I'm sort of feeling behind here. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, well I'm in grad school so I started early because I've been insanely busy. I'm planning on writing next month if I can. January 30th is my goal right now.

The Law Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks Anna! I've been thinking of moving my date to the March writing instead. I mean, I am getting into good form right now... but I'm so busy with grad school, I'd like to have more time to do tests then I have right now. I'll figure out by the end of the month where I stand. Thank god the MCAT is somewhat flexible now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
