Hello.
Wondering about retaking the mcat.
Overall 506
Chem/phys 124
Verbal 126
Biol 130
Psych 126
Gpa 3.45 biology with upward trend
I'm pretty bummed because I was getting 126 in my chem/phys and also usually scored 128 on my verbal in practice exams. I was definitely affected by the noise of everyone coming in and sitting down to take the test while I was taking my chem section ( I got there early and started early). I just wasn't expecting all the distractions.
Basically, should I retake the mcat because of my low chem/phys score? I really didn't want to retake it, but I'm thinking maybe I should. Second question is should I take it sooner rather than later while I still have my test prep materials available to me (Kaplan) and it's relatively fresh in my mind (2 months from now)? I barely used all the full lengths and didn't even do any of the aamc questions banks available to me... Just ran out of time.
Planning on applying to lower tier allopathic schools.
Thanks for the advice!
