Slimy Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi guys To be honest, it's been the most stressful summer ever for me lol Going to gym doesn't seem to fully destroy all the stress I get from MCAT I've been studying for MCAT for 2months now alongside with a part-time job. BS and PS seem okay since I took the related courses in univ. I am just concerned with VR , WS. The highest I've ever gotten on VR at AAMC past exam is 11 on VR... usually 10 or 9 tho. UGH THE NEMESIS My WS seems to be tight I guess mainly 'cause I find spots where I can improve on while writing. I try to resist the temptation to complete the 3 tasks FIRST. damn. I just hope for the best for both VR and WS. *finger crossed* for easy essay topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future_doc Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I am writing too then, I hope for the best and know, if necessary, I will rewrite. Worrying won't help any of us, all we can do is our best on the 14th and wait for our results. Good luck to all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesecake Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Question for all those trying practise exams online: are you finding that Kaplan and Princeton Review's mcats are ridiculously more difficult that the AAMC ones (at least for VR)? My theory is that they want you to score lower so you are convinced that you need to purchase one of their courses or books etc.. at least this is what I'm telling myself, but I would be interested to hear what others' experiences have been lately.

terryann Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yes...I score lower on PR than AAMC, and have been stressing about it too..for me, the PS is affected the most... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafield Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Way back when I did TPR practices I scored 17 (3 in bio lol), 18, 24 on the TPR tests and then 29,31,33,31 on the AAMC's 31 on the actual test. So part of the TPR low score was in part that I was only part way through review but the 24 on the 3rd tpr and the 29 on the first AAMC came only 4 or 5 days apart.

war485 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I find Kaplan marks the VR and PS much harder than the AAMC practice tests but I feel that AAMC practice tests usually mark harder on the BS. Reading about this makes me feel better since I've been stressing the last 2 months over VR: Kaplan VR 4-7 vs. AAMC VR 7-9 !!!!! Two whole score difference! Good luck for Friday!
