Well this is the long awaited and much anticipated practice test recap. I took two practice tests in only seven days and I made significant improvements in just one week. This quick improvement gives me confidence in my methodical approach to improving my score. I made a 21 on the first test with sub-scores of 5, 10, and 6 in Physical, Verbal, and Biological. I spent two days reviewing the physical science section and identifying/reviewing the my "problem areas" in the subject matter. I currently have many problem areas. However, I was able to brush up enough to answer nine more questions correctly and score 2 points higher on just that one sub section. I also moved quicker actually getting to about 41 or 42 of the 52 questions. On the first test I only got to about 35 of the questions. I also moved quicker on the Verbal although my score was worse. I was doing well until the end, but since I had moved quicker I thought I could quickly read and answer the last two passages. However, I ended up half assing both of them and actually half of the questions I missed came from those 2 passages (seven total). Hopefully next time I will finish all of the passages and questions but if not I will not rush through again. I will just finish out what I can and my pace and spend the last minute marking C for the ones I have not yet read. I didn't really study the biological sciences at all, but that section improved also. I really think learning the physical sciences and becoming familiar with the MCAT format helped that score improve. To recap, 2 tests in seven days and I answered 61% of all of the questions correctly on the second test, compared to 55% on the first. My studying is paying off and I know in four months I will be ready. Thank to my wife Brooke for being so supportive of my dream.
Goodnight,
Justin
