Am I Ready???

[njgz28]

I have finished all the GS Exams. My scores have ranged from 5 to 9 on each section. I showed a fairly steady increase through the first six tests, but the last four tests my scores were low. They ranged between 5 and 8 on each section.
I just finished AAMC 10 and scored
PS- 11
VR- 11
BS- 9
I am scheduled for the 7-13 test. Should I go for it?

Your performance on the most recent practice AAMC MCAT CBT available is encouraging but I would need more context to be more helpful.

For example, what MCAT score would you be satisfied with? This is very important because a satisfactory score is related to your objective. You can get some concept of the scores required here: www.mcattestscores.com/usmedicalschoolsmcatscoresGPA.html

Have you done all of the other AAMC tests? How did you perform on the ones that you have done?

NB: you may have already done so, but if not, please consider reading the following: www.mcat-prep.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=927

For my #1 choice the average composite MCAT scores for the matriculants was a 28. However my GPA is a bit under the average so I would obviously prefer to score above average on the MCAT. I'm guessing my target score would be a 30.
I have also completed AAMC tests 3,4, and 5. I scored 26, 27, and 26 respectively. I completed these tests before the GS exams to gauge where I was about midway through my prep. I planned on taking four more of the AAMC exams with the time I have left. I have also compiled Gold notes from the GS exams I have taken, and used AAMC diagnostics to target weak areas. I took vacation from work this week in order to gain extra study time. What a GREAT summer vacation. LOL

You are on target to acheive your scores and to peak at the right time. If I were you, I would approach the 7-13 test with measured confidence. I suspect you have aimed to do one new practice AAMC test every 2-3 days which will give you sufficient time to adequately review each exam, expand your Gold Notes and to have a couple of days before the real exam in which you only need to review those notes, stay loose and focus.

It will be a great summer - starting the morning of July 14th.
