Prepping for a January retake

samedi 24 octobre 2015

After spending my summer taking one summer class and studying for the MCAT, I took the August exam. Unexpectedly, my test center was extremely unorganized and had a lot of computer problems. I did not start my exam until 11am, after three hours of high stress and anxiety over potentially not being able to take the exam. I got a 513 (130/128/129/126), a few points below the lower range I got on two score predictor ranges (median of 517-518), and I'm not surprised that my Psych was low, considering I started it at about 5:00pm. My Bio score was also lower than expected.

I'm confident I can score higher, so I've decided to retake in January (I know it's a decent score, yeah yeah, /shrugs). I'm taking four classes this semester, so I don't have much time to study during the semester, but my classes are all super MCAT-relevant (chem bio, biophysical chem, adv. ochem, biostats). My plan is to lightly review all my study materials for the next two months, and then go hard for five weeks prior to January 22. I do still feel familiar/confident with the material from the summer, so I'm not sure how best to prioritize my studying, aside from spending a lot of time on Psych.

Does anyone have advice, or has anyone taken a winter retest after already prepping for an entire summer? My studying timeline is shorter than ideal, but I already did study pretty intensively for three months. Advice appreciated in advance! :)
