a41 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I found it kinda difficult, I was so confused at the end haha but I only got 1 wrong on it so it went alright I guess Okay, guys I've become paranoid. lol My verbal scores have been 9, good score, 9, good score, 9, good score, 9.................. I'm scared to write my last verbal practice test, get a good score... and then on the real MCAT get a 9! ahhaha Don't worry too much Law. All of my practice scores were 10s (EK/AAMC), with a single 11 in there. I got 12 on the real thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tan008 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I find the easy to understand passages kill me. It's the ones you read and think WTF that I always end up doing better on. I believe the key is to not understand what you are reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PreciousBodilyFluids Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'm doing one AAMC test per week until my test date (Aug 20th), so I might as well join in. AAMC 8 (PBT): PS 13 VR 11 BS 12 Total: 36 AAMC 9 (PBT): PS 13 VR 12 BS 15 (!) Total: 40 I'm really surprised by that 15. The funny thing is that I finished that section with 23 minutes left on the clock, and I thought about going back and double-checking everything, but I just didn't feel like it. I don't know what it is about me and 13s on the PS. I've taken the real MCAT twice now, and I got 13 on the PS section both times. I just can't seem to break that ceiling.

cluelesswonder Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 *please* tell me you're not just re-writing to try and get more than a 13 on PS, right? awesome scores, though. good luck on the real deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mostly luck I'd say-- getting lucky that you're asked questions you can very easily handle. Of course getting a 13 to begin with is not luck at all. Good one PBF! BTW, what are you using for VR practice, and what section are you trying to overcome? Sheesh.... a 40. What's with people these day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course getting a 13 to begin with is not luck at all. Good one PBF! BTW, what are you using for VR practice, and what section are you trying to overcome? I'm not really doing much to practice VR specifically. I've read for pleasure my entire life, and that experience seems to do it for me. The first time I took the exam, for circumstances beyond my control, I was on only two hours' worth of sleep, I was nauseous the whole time, and it was basically the worst testing experience of my life. Later on, I got back my results: 13 PS, 12 VR, 11 BS, and a P on the writing sample. Total 36P. So I figure that if I did that well while feeling absolutely horrible, I should be able to do even better the second time around. I retake it a few months later, and get 13 PS, 08 VR, 13 BS, and an S on the writing sample. Total 34S. I simply have no idea what the hell happened with VR - reading comprehension is typically something I'm very good at. Something must have gone horribly wrong somewhere. Anyway, I figure that the third time's the charm. I have two weeks to study, and I think I know where all my weak spots are. I feel confident that I can break 40 this time around.

The Law Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Yeah, verbal is a wild card. I think you should definitely try to do a bit of practice at least, because while I also read quite a bit, I find that it's not quite the same. Verbal is a special kind of reading (although, you did initially score a 12!!)... I hate that about this test. Verbal can very easily go one way or another.

If you gotta review, you review. No point hitting the theaters when you've got fallopian tubes and LH on the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
