sugarmouse Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I've heard many times that most people found AAMC 11 to be harder than other MCATs and also that the real MCAT is harder than the real test. Did you guys think that AAMC11 was harder than other AAMC practice MCATS, and did the test end up being harder than the practice ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I felt like 11 needed more thinking but I scored more on it than on my other AAMCs. The actual test was significantly more difficult than any AAMC but that might just be me. I felt like I was lulled into a false sense of security by the AAMCs.

Iluvsoccer Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 A word of advise...don't stress!!! Of course the MCAT will be hard - it will likely the hardest exam you write to date! But there is no point fretting over it - feel confident, feel happy and go into the exam feeling you are going to kick the MCAT's butt! If you know this, you will do fine. I myself have avoided doing AAMC 11 because I know it will only make me feel worse. Instead, I am spending my last few days reviewing stuff i know I am weak on and will put my 200% on friday when i write the exam. Hope this helps - good luck and remember - MCAT is only one of the MANY hurdles in medicine, so this isn't the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to do badly and then totally throw myself off for Friday. I can't decide if it's worth the risk or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to do badly and then totally throw myself off for Friday. I can't decide if it's worth the risk or not. i did it today, and i did worse than all my other ones, which stressed me out and sort of put me down, which was bad. but at the same time, it also helped me in the sense that i could go over what i did wrong. i think aamc 11 just has a lot more thinking type questions..

Leon Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 ^ this distresses me Don't worry about it- I'm just being honest. I'd say : don't expect it to be easy but don't stress over it because there's nothing you can do. Give it your best and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiritedaway Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I thought it was one of the most challenging, but it ended up being my best score. The PS for AAMC 11 was good though, had a lot of calculations from what I remember, which represented my test (although I felt the actual PS was alot harder than any aamc =/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
