August 2005 MCAT Practice Test Scores

[SensesFail]

Here are my practice test scores so far with about 6 weeks left to go...

(in chronological order)

Kaplan Diagnostic: 12P, 10V, 9B = 31
AAMC 3R: 12P, 10V, 12B = 34
Kaplan FL1: 10P, 8V, 11B = 29
TPR 4921: 12 P, 7V, 11 B = 30

Just took TPR 4921 and am totally bummed about Verbal. How's everyone else doing?

So far:

TPR 4911: 9P 8V 11B (28)
TPR 4921: 8P 8V 9B (25)
TBR FL I: 9P 13V 10B (32)
TPR 4931: 10P 8V 10B (28)
AAMC 7: 13P 10V 13B (36)
AAMC 5R: 13P 10V 12B (35)

I thought verbal on the Berkeley Review test I took was much easier than TPR/AAMC. But besides that I seem to be stuck at 8-10 and it's quite difficult to improve considering English isn't my native language

 

[FutureDoc2010]

I have come to the realization that my brain is like a pipe. I keep on shoving sh** into one end at at some point my brain becomes full of sh** and it starts spilling out the opposite end. There is absolutely no point in attempting to memorize everything on the MCAT. If you close off one end of the pipe, pressure will build, your head will explode and sh** will fly everywhere. I'm going to err on the side of caution, keep both ends of my pipe open and let the sh** flow freely.

 

[gotgame83]

Oh my brain is like a pipe too. I have a limited amount of information i can retain. By studying for the mcat i think i have lost 1/2 of my childhood memories, all been replaced by the ways in which bacteria get it on, or rather dont get it on.

 

[frany584]

took aamc 4r today: 11, 8, 9. physical is about what i get on aamc tests, im mad about the 8 in verbal and the 9 in biology because it seems my raw score was higher but the curve was more strict for this test. grrrrr

 

[totalcommand]

Wow everybody's taken a lot more tests than me. I'm hoping to get at least 3 more before next wednesday.

So far:

Kaplan Diag: (when studying for April): 8 11 7 - 26
Kaplan 2 (when studying for April): 12 12 10 - 34
Kaplan 4 (when studying for April): 10 10 11 - 31

AAMC 4r (7/23/2005): 11 11 10 - 32
EK 1g (7/30/2005): 12 8 13 - 33
AAMC 5r (8/8/2005): 14 11 12 - 37

We'll see if 5r was a fluke tomorrow - when i try for 6r. Anybody know if 5r is one of the easier ones compared to the real thing?

i tink people are saying that 5r provided a good approximation for the real thing-- if so, congrats

Kaplan FL3 (12PS,7VR,9BS) 28- 5.5 weeks of studying
AAMC 6R (11PS, 11BS)-?? 6 weeks, Didn't take VR cuz looked too familiar from last Apr

Which other Kaplan tests have realistic BS and VR sections?

i think for the most part, bs and vr from kaplan are all pretty decent. ps has too much calculation based stuff.

Kaplan FL6 11PS-10V-11BS total 32
AAMC 7 11PS-10V-12BS. total 33

took Kaplan FL8 today. 11PS- 9V- 10BS

My thoughts, it wasnt overally difficult. The PS was do-able, the verbal, its really rediculous, i can guess on so many things and the Kaplan score conversion is so generous that it doesnt really reflect that. I just screwed around on the BS, im really burnt out, not in the mood to do this crap anymore so i started filling in bubbles after like looking at the problem for just a second, ha i finished 25minutes early. But again the kaplan score chart says i can get 27 wrong and still be one point away from an 11... I dunno screw this right now i want some cookies n cream.

 

[soulstress]

AAMC 3R: 8 8 10 (26)
AAMC 4R: 9 8 9 (26)
AAMC 5R: 11 10 10 (31)
AAMC 7: 11 10 10 (31)
AAMC 6R: 11 10 11 (32)

Test 8 next week!

 

[ctv1116]

AAMC 3R: 14P, 10V, 8B
AAMC 4R: 12P, 11V, 9B
AAMC 5R: 12P, 10V, 10B

AAMC 6R: 12P, 11V, 12B

I'm finally turning the corner. Hopefully Guju is right about 6R, 7, and 8 being the true indicators of MCAT score...

 

[LaDoctorFutura]

3R: 28
4R: 30
5R: 29
6R: 30
7: 31
8: 27

I'm hoping for a 30-33! wish me luck!

 

[supermcat]

I have taken 3-8 over the last several weeks, finishing with 8 today.....
scores from 3-4 probably skewed as I remembered some of the questions(must have taken them two years ago, when I took the august 03 mcat)

3R (14P,15B,13V)
4R (15P,13B,14V)
5R(13P,12B,12V)
6R(14P,14B,13V)
7 (15P,12B,14V)
8 (14P,14B,15V)

The good thing is my verbal is showing constant improvement. Im afraid ive maxxed out on ps/bs....my score depends on specifics in each particualar tests not particularly related to specific content or difficulty.

 

[NilamPatel]

excuse me while i say HOLY CRAP..thats amazing, if I were you'd I'd throw myself a party...CONGRATS on the great scores...you getting in the 40s and here I am hoping for a 33...to each his/her own..i suppose

Here are mine:

TPR 4911: 9ps, 8bs, 6vr
TPR 4921: 9ps, 9bs, 9vr
TPR 4931: 13ps, 10bs, 8vr
Aamc 7: 11ps, 11bs, 8vr
Aamc 8: 13ps, 13bs, 8vr
Aamc 5r: 13Ps, 10bs, 10 vr

i took 3r and 4r but didn't convert the scores because from this forum and princeton review teachers i heard they are not very good indicators of scores, so i saved myself the disappointment or the false hope...and 6r i am leaving for next week

At least I can say I tied you on 5R (must've been a down day for you). Sheesh.

 

[FutureDoc2010]

I don't want to be a smart a** but considering the highest score achieved worldwide by MCAT test takers usually doesn't exceed 43 in a given admnistration, how can you be afraid you're maxing out your scores when you nailed a 43 on your last practice exam? When you are scoring 14-15s I guess there really isn't much room for improvement, sorry.

 

[FutureDoc2010]

Latest update (chronological order):
Kaplan FL3 10P 8V 9B = 27
AAMC 3R 12P 8V 10B = 30
AAMC 5R 12P 9V 11B = 32
AAMC 6R 12P 9V 12B = 33
AAMC 4R 11P 7V 11B = 29
Kaplan FL7 11P 10V 11B = 32
AAMC 8 12P 9V 12B = 33
EK #1g 12P 9V 11B = 32
Kaplan FL 8 12P 11V 10B = 33

I am really getting annoyed with the Kaplan exams. I don't believe verbal conversion for FL 8, how the heck does 40/60 or 67% equate to an 11? that's just wrong. Also, I must have had a major brain lapse on bio. For some reason I think that bio section was without a doubt the most difficult bio section i've done to date. Oh well.. still truckin along.

Troll. C'mon, no one is THAT anal, upset because they miss like one question per section. Quit trying to scare people with your supposed scores.

 

[NilamPatel]

its definitely intimidating when someone with 40s is 'upset'...

 

[FutureDoc2010]

I don't know Nape, When I scored a 1599 on the SAT I was totally demoralized and on the brink of suicide. I knew that somewhere, somehow, somebody got a 1600. I didn't see the point in carrying on knowing that I wasn't in the 100th percentile. I was then forced to accept the grim reality of being in the 99.999999% percentile, 0.000001% from perfection. God, I just hope the same thing doesn't happen on the MCAT, I don't know what I'll do with myself if I am forced to accept a 44T.

Kaplan FL1: 8, 11, 6 (25)
AAMC 3R: 8, 11, 8 (27)
AAMC 4R: 8, 9, 8 (25) At that point, I decided to skip April's test

Summer
AAMC 5R: 9, 9, 10 (28-Upper end, literally 4 questions away from a 10,10,11)

[Khanal007]

For some reason my performance on practice tests are going down. I'm taking Kaplan:
Diagnostic: 25
FL1: 28
FL2: 33
FL3: 37
FL4: 32
FL5: 33
FL6: 30
** All my breakdowns from FL2 onward are a minimum of 10 in each section

Are there any suggestions on how to bring up my performance before test day to, for example, my performance on FL3?

Also, are Kaplan tests harder than the real thing?

thanks!

Update:

FL7: PS10 VR12 BS11 -- 33
FL8 PS10 VR10 BS11 -- 31

Comments: I feel like there's so consistency in my scores. Yes, the most frequent score in my practice tests is a 33, but if I were to post the breakdowns for all my previous tests, you could see how inconsistent they are. I'll go from a 13 in PS to a 10, and the same for all the other sections. I feel like I'm the only one experiencing this, cause all my friends have consistent breakdown scores where they know what their strengths are and weaknesses....

I just hope that FL3 wasn't a total and absolute fluke....although I looked back through my test for FL3, and I swear that that test was just plain easier than all the others...

I'm taking FL9 on sunday, and after that I'm done. I just hope that it won't be a total confidence killer.

Somone suggested that I take some AAMC tests so I could get a better prediction of my scores...but since I'm taking the Kaplan online course, I'd have to walk into a Kaplan center and pick them up. I live in Idaho, and there aren't any centers in my state! I just can't get myself to pay 40 bucks on the AAMC website for them when I already paid 1300 for the Kaplan course....so I'll have to settle for FL9 to set my confidence level for test day...


good luck everyone on your last week of studying!

 

[NilamPatel]

for $80 you can get 3 tests, i know its alot of money but its SO worth it to practice on...

i suggest getting the aamc tests from ebay if worse comes to worse. but they do tend to screw you over sometimes with wrong solutions and old tests but it's not a lot of money.

You're doing fine. A drop from 13 to a 10 in PS isn't that big. In my opinion, once you are consistent with 10+ on a section, its just the random luck you get with the passages, how you feel when you are taking it, and what is affecting your thoughts at the moment you answer each question. Sure, go back and review, but don't search for some weakness you have that when you review it all of a sudden you will always get 15's. After a point, it depends on factors other than your being knowledgeable in the subject.

 

[totalcommand]

Wow everybody's taken a lot more tests than me. I'm hoping to get at least 3 more before next wednesday.

So far:

Kaplan Diag: (when studying for April): 8 11 7 - 26
Kaplan 2 (when studying for April): 12 12 10 - 34
Kaplan 4 (when studying for April): 10 10 11 - 31

AAMC 5r (8/8/2005): 14 11 12 - 37

We'll see if 5r was a fluke tomorrow - when i try for 6r. Anybody know if 5r is one of the easier ones compared to the real thing?

Update:

Kaplan FL7: 12 11 12 - 35
AAMC 6r: 13 11 13 - 37

Highest score I've gotten on any Kaplan FLs. Hopefully it can be +2 more points next saturday . First time I've hit 10 on Verbal in ages (see above). Now it's hardcore review time, then AAMC 7 & 8.

 

[perfectmoment]

what the hellllllllllllllllllllll

aamc 3r:20
aamc 4r:24
ek 1g:25
aamc 5r:31
kaplan pt 1 from book: 24?
kaplan pt 2 from book: 28
aamc 6r: 28
aamc 8: 27

kaplan FL3: 29 PS 9, VR 11, BS 9

i'm very disappointed in my scores. i really really wanna hit another 30. i keep getting these scores in the 20s and its getting kinda scary. hopefully, what everybody says about kaplan tests is true, and that i should tack on a point or two for the real thing... it seems like i guess on half the questions. i look at my bubble sheet, and half the questions on PS have question marks beside them. one more test for me, and that's aamc 7. hopefully that one will be a confidence booster. errr scratch that... positive thinking. i will own aamc 7 and i'm gonna show that b*tch who's boss. wayne brady is gonna have to choke this b*tch.

 

[Kimka83]

Well, I just finished all of my Kaplan practice tests, and thought I would toss my numbers into the pot.

Diag P-9 V-12 B-10 (31)
FL 1 P-11 V-12 B-12 (35)
FL 2 P-12 V-12 B-12 (36)
FL 3 P-12 v-12 b-13 (37)
FL 4 P-13 V-13 B-13 (39)
FL 5 P-12 V-12 B-12 (36)
AAMC 7 P-14 V-12 B-13 (39)
AAMC 8 P-13 V-12 B-13 (38)

So, here's hoping that I can get a 36 on test day
This place has been a great resourse. Thanks you guys. Good Luck.

Old scores:

FL1: 28
FL2: 33
FL3: 37
FL4: 32
FL5: 33
FL6: 30
FL7: PS10 VR12 BS11 -- 33
FL8 PS10 VR10 BS11 -- 31

took AAMC 8 today:
PS 12 VR 9 BS 11 -- 32

so it looks like the only deviant was FL3, taking an average of all tests except FL3 (too high) and FL1 (before a lot of studying), my average is a 32. I'm hoping for a 33-34 on the actual test, I'm crossing my fingers.

This was my first AAMC test ever, after having strictly taken Kaplan FL's. So it looks like Kaplan isn't too far off from what AAMC predicts for overall. I thought the verbal was pretty hard for AAMC 8, but PS was SO SO easy compared to Kaplan, and BS was comparable. The biggest difference I found on the AAMC test was that time was not an issue for the sciences, I had 5-10 minutes left, AFTER having gone back through my test for each section. Verbal was pretty much the same as kaplan in regards to time.

i find kaplan more difficult in terms of the physical. bio and verbal are more on par, but i seem to score better on aamc tests. my kaplan range is 28-32 (31 today on FL5), where my aamc range (test 5-7 so far) is 33-35. i find the aamc tests significantly easier and that seems to translate into higher scores despite both having curves. maybe it is just a matter of my confidence.

I think the difference between Kaplan and TPR practice tests and their comparability to the AAMC tests is that Kaplan often adjusts their scales to account for difficulty.

For instance, I've noticed on some of the Kaplan score conversion charts posted here, that a 38 out of 77 could mount to at least an 8 on PS when going by scaled score. However, on an AAMC test that same amount may be a 6 because the relative ease of the test.

However in TPR tests, they don't scale too differently, even though it is different, which is why people who take TPR often see a big jump from the time they take 4911 to the time they take 7 and 8.

I believe Shrike once said add 4 pts to 4911 and 4921 score, and would have to agree with it based on personal experience.

My overall point is that people who have taken kaplan, (friends of mine and SDN Peepz) often find that their scores don't differ that much from AAMC scores because the differences are accounted for in the greater differences shown in the score conversion charts. So the scales account for difficulty. Generally, my friends who have taken Kaplan have been within that 1-2 point rule of their score range that I talk about often.

updated scores:

4911 - p - 7, b-9, v-9
4921 - p-9, b-10, v-9
4931 - p-10, b- 10, v-9
kaplan really fat book one test - p-10, v-9, b-10

3r - p-12 b-12, v-12
4r - p-12, v-11, b-10
5r p- 12, v-10, b-12
7r P-14, v-11, b-13
8r p-11, v-10, b-12


Im really kinda pissed about 8 (at least compared to 7). Just disappointed in the amount of fluctuation with the scores - i figured in the last 2 weeks they'd even out a bit. Did anyone think it was alot harder than some of the other tests? And for the april people - how'd it compare to the real thing?

thanks.

mr health...im with you on this one...also been scoring in your range on Kaplan tests 1-8....but the bad thing is now i expect to miss like 15-20 on PS and that would turn out into a lower score on AAMC....i also avg higher on AAMC...but everyone is different...glad to see someone in the same boat...

Probably my last update on this thread unless I get some inspiration to do more practice tests.

 

[dave613]

well i've been behind most of you in these full lengths , but i'll give what i've done so far, and add to it as the next week goes on.

Diag-EK 1g, 9V, 8P, 8B
kaplan FL#2-12V, 10P, 11B

I hope i have enough time to pull up each section a few points, except maybe verbal.

I've got a lot more work to do.

wish me luck.

Kaplan FL3 10P 8V 9B = 27
AAMC 3R 12P 8V 10B = 30
AAMC 5R 12P 9V 11B = 32
AAMC 6R 12P 9V 12B = 33
AAMC 4R 11P 7V 11B = 29
Kaplan FL7 11P 10V 11B = 32
AAMC 8 12P 9V 12B = 33
EK #1g 12P 9V 11B = 32
Kaplan FL 8 12P 11V 10B = 33
AAMC 7 12P 11V 12B = 35

If I can make a repeat of AAMC 7 on the real deal I'd be elated and estatic. Although, I feel that my verbal score may have been inflated a little, its definately not consistent with my previous AAMC exams. I felt like I got completely worked over when taking it. It seems like I'll be destined for 12s on bio and physics, which is quite alright by me. I'm always one question away from 13 and I'm sure they are possible, but I won't count on em. Overall, I'm pleased with my progress and my scores. This last exam was a definite confidence booster and a good way to lead up to real exam As usual, Hoping for the best.

I'm having problems finishing PS on time so I'm trying to do the 30 second skim on the passages and going straight to questions. BS and verbal I finish with 1-2 minutes to spare so I wish i could speed up a tad to go back to 1-2 problems. Only plan to take 6R and 7 after this.

I took some random kaplan BS exam because I thought I was the man. I got 24 wrong. 12 of them I was not sure how answer. Only AAMC exams from here on out.

Gujudoc - are you taking the MCAT this summer?

Don't do anymore. I'll say it again and again. The worst thing you could do is stress yourself out by doing practice tests every day til the test. At this point, (this is what my former MCAT instructor advised me and some other students), the best thing you could do is just review through old score reports and see what sort of things you were consistently getting wrong to make sure you get it. Oh and relax and take it easy. Good job making it through the summer studying. Same to the rest of you too.

 

[dave613]

Yeah, I think we all owe a lot to gujudoc, since she has helped us and guided us on how to study for this mcat.

lol, "verbal meltdown" that pretty much sums ever verbal exam for me
