Wanted to see if others have had a similar experience to mine and what they've done to address it.
I've thus far spent 5 months studying for the MCAT. For the first 4 months, I exclusively used Kaplan and AAMC materials. The Kaplan exams were not very helpful (averaging about 504-505). When I took the unscored AAMC after 4 months of studying, I had relatively low C/P and B/B scores and decided to delay my test date by a month and switch to NS exams. After taking NS 1-4 and doing relatively well (509, 513, 505 and 508 (in that order)), I took the scored AAMC FL1 yesterday and got a 506 (126/126/127/127). I'm aiming for at least a 513, so was pretty disappointed with the score (particularly since my NS average score was better).
Has anyone had a similar experience? Trying to figure out what I should do next. Was planning on taking the 6/1 exam, but now I think I should spend another couple weeks to take more practice tests.
