Daniel Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm feeling some pressure. But its good motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanillabear Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Definitely feeling the push as well! But it is pushing me forward, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameltingbanana Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Aug 5th as well! You guys taking a prep course (Kaplan/TPR/prep101) or just winging it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingStar Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Course with Kaplan. Not at where I want to be unfortunately - working full time is taking a toll on me Anyone else in the same boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameltingbanana Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm actually with Kaplan too, and yeah I'm definitely feeling the heat (assuming our courses have the same schedule...ending July 24th?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endoplasmic Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Aug 5th also. not taking any course but rather reading the TPR textbook as well as few strategy text; also have the kaplan textbook just in case. PS and BS is fine but stressing about VR and essay tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingStar Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yup.. I'm actually thinking about pushing it back to Aug 12 just to get an extra week... Do you guys think it'll be worth the week of stress or should I just get it over with on Aug 5th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameltingbanana Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Personally, I don't think that extra week will be too worth it, unless you feel really unprepared. I know if I gave myself another week as a backup, I'd start to unconsciously procrastinate right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingStar Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Gahhh I can't decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Write a few practise tests, see how you do. If your not scoring where you need to be then consider delaying until late August. A week is a short amount of time to make big improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingStar Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Problem is, I have to be back at McGill for residence floor fellow orientation by Aug 15th, so the latest possible date I can write it is Aug 12... Yeah I'll see how well I do on tomorrow's full length and I'll delay it if I don't do too hot.. #stressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameltingbanana Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hey ShootingStar, if you don't mind my asking, how many full lengths have you done so far? I've only done one in the course so far, but I've done a fair few topical/section tests, and there's a ton of full lengths coming up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mymeddream Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Is there a deadline for changing the date of the MCAT test? I am not sure yet if I will be ready in time and might need to extend my MCAT date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 There is a deadline, I think its fairly close to the test date...you should recieve a reminder email as the date approaches. You don't want to feel unprepared but at the same time...writing a real mcat is good experience...if you need to write again...lets say early sept, you'll be in a stronger position. I think the stats show that most do better the second time around...hopefully it doesn't come to that, but thats why aug 5th is a good slot.

Cass Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Almost August 5th! Gahhh...trying to do as many passages and questions as I can. I'm also visiting a friend in the states a few days before the exam - mini vacation before the big test? How's everyone else holding up so far?
