Im prepping for the April 11 exam. So im sorta behind my original plan for VR studying.
So far,
EK 1: 10 (31/40)
EK 3: 9 (28/40)
EK 3: 9 (29/40)
I got a 10 on the real MCAT back in september. I would be more than happy to just mantain that score cuz im banking on improving PS and BS, but i know that it was probably alot of luck that got me that 10.
Right now my goal is to get around 12 in practice or consistent 11s.
Im trying to track the kind of questions I get wrong and it seems like the I, II, II and questions about whether the author's argument/position (especially if it asks which would most "weaken" the argument). Any one have any advice for this?
For those of you trying to break a 10. What helped get me there was following some of TPR strategies (especially passage mapping).
I know alot of people are against passage mapping, but the way i do it is to keep from spacing out while im reading. Its easier for me to take the passage in as paragraph length chunks than all at once. So after each paragraph i will write the number of the paragraph and about three words to help me remember what it was about.
For example:
1) reading is good
2) people reading = higher test scores
... im making up the subject matter but thats the gist.
After that the next most helpful thing is eliminating wrong answers. Pretty much cutting out any answer that says always, never, or any other super extreme statement. Also, things that arent in the scope of the passage or dont answer the question.
