[MD2B in 2010]

Hey guys whats up. Just wanted to stop by and say whats up to all yal. I'm going to be applying to medical school in for the 2010 cycle and just started my Kaplan course this past Wed. and am ready to get this process on and popping. I think I need to really start after my abyssmal score of 19 on my diagnostic and 60% on the science assessment.

Good Luck to yal and am glad to be apart of something so great.

Remember, Kaplan wants to sell you test prep materials. It's in their interest for your diagnostic scores to be poor. Be sure to do some of the retired MCAT exams in addition to your Kaplan prep. Kaplan doesn't write the MCAT exam questions thus, you need to be sure that you have some experience with questions that are written by the same people who actually write that exam.

Agreed. If everyone did well on the practice exam, there would be no incentive for people to sign up for their course! So don't be overly discouraged by your diagnostic score. And definitely do old AAMC exams in addition to the Kaplan exams. (Since you are taking the class, I think you can get them for free through Kaplan. Otherwise, there's a free exam up on the AAMC site, and the other ones have a fee. $35-ish each maybe?)

hey MD2B,

I'll be applying for matriculation in Fall 2010 as well. And yea I got a 17 on my Kaplan diagnostic so you are not alone. But hopefully, I can redeem myself like pakidoc
