Hi there, I'm a new member to this forum and I have my MCAT looming in the near, near future: the Aug. 20th test date. I would appreciate any advice. Here are my pre-med "stats", if you will:
PA Res.
-Upcoming Junior Biochem. Major
-Cumulative GPA: 3.84 (science Higher, don't know what it is though)
-85 Hours Hospital Volunteer Service
-40+ Hours Physician Shadowing
-Coordinator of the Volunteer Medical Staff for the 2007 Keystone State Games
-Upcoming Research Opportunity with a group of sport medicine Doctors involved with College football team, this next semester
Now I took the Kaplan MCAT course this summer, and I discovered (what really, already know) that I am not the best at standardized MC tests. I average around 27-28 on the & practice tests (7) that I have taken(i have gotten a few higher scores on some Kaplan tests though). Why so low? VR, sigh....
But my question is, should I take this upcoming test, or reschedule for a later date? I want to get it over with, but I don't want to be too hasty to come to that rationalization. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK??? If you could respond by Monday it would be greatly appreciated
