bpatient Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yup I sleep at 6 am too now lol, have to break the bad habit asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdawso23 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm starting to get into panic mode. I feel very unprepared...Ah! I'm not having any trouble sleeping, my problem is moreso just being plain exhausted at the moment. I feel fairly burnt out but don't feel like I have time to relax too much. I'm going to do a practice test this weekend, see how I do and if it's not good then I'm probably going to cancel. This is my second time writing and my first score wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. I really don't want to do worse this time around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perspectives Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 been feeling confident this whole summer, but definitely getting some butterflies with a week remaining :S This week I'm just going to review material, getting the formulas down pat, and 2 more verbal FLs from EK101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claire_tea Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'll be honest, I'm not feeling great. I'm lucky that I am one of the freaks that actually finds verbal pretty easy, but I really struggle with the sciences. I think physics may be my downfall, for the second time, next Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrenchToast Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hey guys. I'm going to do *one* more FL before the test. Should I do AAMC 4, AAMC 5, or a Kaplan one? So far, I've done AAMCs 3 and 7-11. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt 5 was easier so maybe it will be a good confidence booster going into the real deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC8 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Good luck everyone, stay confident and sleep well (or at least try...) This isn't a life or death situation, as much as some of you would think it is lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigg Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Guys you should all really start to change your sleeping schedules so that you can actually WAKE UP at 6am to write the test. ...unless the one on august 16th is at 1pm? Mine in July was at 8am and I had a lot of trouble changing my sleeping pattern haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrenchToast Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yep A major reason why I chose this date! That just shows how different we all are, hehe. I wiiiish it were at 8. I don't know when to have lunch! I don't want to eat too early, because then I'll be hungry for dinner mid-test. But I also don't want to get to the testing centre too late. How early are you guys planning on arriving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC8 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Wake up around 10, relax eat some breakfast. Drive over around 11:30-12pm. Come home and worry for 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like arrive there at 11:30 am?! Or depart? P.S. You seem so relaxed. My schedule will be more like: Wake up at 7:30. Panic. Breakfast. Work out. Panic. Drive there. Eat lunch in vicinity to save myself 10 minutes. Panic. Enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecobeco Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm hoping by work out you mean take a walk in the park. Unless you plan on doing some pre-MCAT deadlifts. Which probably would not be to your advantage lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeb88 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 You only have to be there 30 minutes early right? Or is it an hour? I would be there at least 45 minutes before you write. There were only a few people responsible for signing us in and they took their sweet time. A lot of people showed up less than 30 minutes before and ended up waiting a long time. Quite a few of them didn't get to start on time. I was about an hour early and had no problems signing in and getting to my station on time. I had to wait about 20-30 minutes, but I would rather wait a few minutes than stress about signing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savac Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I would say get there really early. My test center started bringing us in almost 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which probably would not be to your advantage lol Is doing cardio beforehand a bad call? I worked out before doing all my practice full lengths, and I usually work out before exams. It tends to perk me up. But maybe I shouldn't? Crap, idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was getting really worried over the weekend and then i figured it's probably just easier to not put so much pressure on this. I know i have done all the preparation i could have and even if it doesnt go well, i will always have another day to write again. Getting there earlier is probably best, i have to cross the US-Canada border so i'm taking into account any delays. I would rather get there early and relax, look over formulas than to be late. Light Cardio before is AMAZING! it gets you awake and gets the blood going, definitely doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
