So MCATs are this Saturday.

Any last minute tips? Personally I've been studying really hard. But then again, you never know what goes wrong. I remember getting an 1800 on the SATs the first time and being disappointed because I expected a higher score. I just want to get it down the first time...

@Dragegaddon: I spoke to you in MS before kinda, during Ani :-p

The writing portion is basic analytical and grammar stuff.

Wait, what? Psychic?

I pretty much got the whole practice tests down, but I'm just nervous. I'm just afraid of brain farts.
Organic chemistry is my strongest area, but not sure about writing. MC is pretty easy to clear, but the writing portion is what I'm anxious about. Are they lenient?

[quote=LuckyGambler]my sister is going to take the MCAT this weekend....she started studying around november I believe...

Good Luck bro... Hope that hard work paid off..

Btw.. what are you aiming for broski?[/quote]

He's gonna be a demon doctor, just take a look at his IGN. =P JK. I agree...orgo will *probably* be the hardest, with physics close behind. My friends who have taken it say that it's not so much about your depth of knowledge, but rather your breadth of knowledge. So I really would just suggest more practice tests. IMO cramming won't help now. Just go over what you get wrong on those tests, and it should help.

[quote=Aura0fDeath]Uh, I have heard it's bad to retake your MCATS. And in general, you should be ready for it by now if it's this Saturday. I haven't started studying for mine (i'm planning on taking it next summer), but I would just suggest not to stress out about it, take a few practice tests, and go in with confidence.

EDIT: And I don't understand why you're asking on basilmarket. I know there is some population that is around the age where they would be considering taking their MCATS, but a majority of them are high school kids or younger, and I doubt they can give you the insight that you need...I'm sure there's other forums where you can ask and get more helpful feedback.[/quote]

Pretty much just felt like it. I've pretty much tried everything for test prep, but I'm still pretty anxious about it. But thanks!
