charty Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 argh, I understand the frustration. I'm a non-science major (nursing) and i mean, I don't seem to have a problem with VR as nursing kinda throws those weird sort of questions at us all the time, and i'm dece with bio, but physics and o-chem is killing me. my physical sciences scores are usually around a 9. and my BS scores would be higher if not for o-chem, but are around a 10. oh, and i'm writing on the 19th. awesome.

Veni Vidi Vici Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Trying to get my VR score consistent, it's all over the place! Couple weeks to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist11 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 congrats! hmm...well im not one to give any tips for VR seeing as how im not well versed in it although i did pull out my first 10 on aamc 8 : ) but id suggest more practice timing yourself....cuz when you get to aamc7....ohh mann...that VR is a killer! long ass passages....difficult read to. AAMC 7 or Kaplan FL 7? I did AAMC 7 yesterday, it was my first AAMC practice test. Was the verbal harder than normal for that one? The passages seemed a little long but I thought the real MCAT passages are generally quite long anyway in VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The passages seemed a little long but I thought the real MCAT passages are generally quite long anyway in VR. aamc7...i found the verbal much harder than normal..and longer. and yes..the real one is said to be longer too so..ugghhh how did you do on aamc7 overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veni Vidi Vici Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 how much longer are we talking? a paragraph or two? I already had enough trouble on timing when it came to the last passage on AAMC 3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist11 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I did well, I didn't drop from my previous Kaplan FL's I was taking. Hopefully I can keep it up until my MCAT on the 23rd aamc7...i found the verbal much harder than normal..and longer. and yes..the real one is said to be longer too so..ugghhh how did you do on aamc7 overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I found AAMC 7 verbal to be standard but hated AAMC8 VR. I was running out of time on AAMC8, skimmed a passage and guessed 5 questions. Same score on both. I'm starting to think that VR is nothing more than random luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_q Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 i haven't done much VR practicing, but i found that whenever i felt confident in the answers, i got really low marks..and vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veni Vidi Vici Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Most of the time I get verbal questions down to two options (eliminating extreme and obvious wrong answers)... and then it goes downhill . Sometimes I can't decide between the better option, especially under time crunch.

miss_q Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Got my first 10 on VR yesterday! so Happy ..hopefully it can stay as 10 or go up till 23rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technicity Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm at this point where I feel super uneasy doing BS (like I'll mark a lot of them as "guessed") but I still make out alright (I got a 14 practice?)... that makes me really nervous because I'm not actually sure if I know the stuff or am just getting lucky!

kkentm Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 switched from the 23rd to the 18th and feel so relieved... the fact that i just cut out 5 days of hardcore studying from my schedule is an awesome motivator to keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest haps Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Done AAMC 3-11, TBR 1-7 and my mark is all over the place. I've been hovering at 8-12 in PS and VR and 9-13 in BS. Pretty sure I'm about to break some electronics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veni Vidi Vici Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 9PS/12VR/11BS on aamc 10. Physical sciences are killing me, and it doesn't help when everyone who took the test recently says that PS is harder than practice lol. I write on the 18th, couple more days away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_q Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 PS and BS are steady between 10 and 12, VR is horrible!! 9 most of the times, 10 sometimes and once 12 (i think it is pure luck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
