Hey everyone, forum family,

I am starting my journey down the MCAT exam again. After the application cycle, I recieved secondary apps but was unable to secure any interviews.

I've signed up for the exam May 10th. I'm getting my gears back into motion and starting to get back into the swing of things of studying for this exam. I would greatly appreciate any and all prayers from now until then if you could spare them.

The only reason I ever embarked on the journey last time and did as good (for a person like myself) as I did was because of the power of God and the support of the body of Christ.

I Just need the strength and the fortitude to endure the long hours required of me during the time of preperation and the ability to absorb and understand what It is I am studying and, very importantly, remembering it all for the exam.

They say that on average, it takes taking the exam at least twice before you get a score that is satisfactory enough for medical schools so I'm praying and working towards that. This will be my second time and by the Grace of God the last time to get me into medical school.

Anyway, I thought i'd just bring it up to everyone attention even though it is 4-months away. I spent three months straightly, literally, the last time doing this and I'm looking at giving it the same amount of preparation this time around.

Both eyes on Christ!

Anyway thank you everyone and God bless,
Alex

Wish you the best on your exam!

My best way to study is becoming a weird mix between hack-drill style and 'when I am feeling it' style...

Thanks Tim! Only by the grace of God. There is just simply too much on this exam. It's mind boggling O_O

Thank you loverly for the kind words of encouragement. Still in the fight here, a month and half roughly to go.... have I ever told you all; there isn't enough time in a day?! Well there isn't...

Only a few weeks left till my exam everyone! I've made great strides by the grace of God in my test taking skills as far as this exam is concerned. I'm averaging right now on the practice tests between a 32-35. Lord willing, I can repeat these high notes on the day of the exam. I'm still trying to study as often as I can but i'm feeling warn out after three months of rigerous mental gymnastics. I could certainly use all your prayers, the ones that have seen me through some very hard days, in these days leading up to the exam and on exam day. I thank everyone again who has taken the time out of their busy, and perhaps sometimes difficult days, to uplift a brother whose problems are perhaps trivial in light of the things going on around the world and even in the lives of some of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

A deep love to all my family. Your support, your prayers and your love will never be forgotten.

God bless,
Alex

You're a better man than I am.  I can't imagine what it's like to study that much.  Just glad I'm done with school.  You're certainly in my prayers.

Go on Alex!

Whatever happens. It's how it was suppose to happen. So you can only have a win - win outcome   :)

Thank you Moises, you are absolutely right! I can't help but worry sometimes. I'm still human!

Whatever comes of this will be it, I've done my absolute best and I am confident of this. I've given it my all by the grace of God. No one can call me a quitter! I tried twice! :) Heck, i'd give it a third shot if I had to but unfortunately the exam is undergoing some drastic changes for the year of 2015, including the addition of sociology, psychology, humanities, anthropology etc..  I simply do not have the intellectual background (I have no studied these subjects during my time in school) and so would be vastly under prepared for the revamped edition of the exam. I think I would go crazy trying to fit all those extra subjects into my tiny brain... besides I can't spend my whole life studying for exams.. eventually I have to move on and get to working!

The nightmare is over everyone! Thank God! I will find out my exam score in roughly thirty days. Lord willing I get the score I need... I know I'll get the score the Lord has planned but I'm praying its the one I need to finally get me into medical school. No regrets. I'm happy its over.

I feel like I did really well on the biological sciences and strong on the verbal for what how I normally perform on it. The physical sciences was way out of left field, nothing like anything i"ve ever studied for or expected. From the consensus I got by speaking to other students who took the same exam I did, they were also of like mind on the physical sciences so I'm not too concerned as it will be curved and if everyone feels it was really hard then the curve will keep me in line with everyone else or above. God willing.

Anyhoo, I'm starting my applications all over again. Its a rather daunting task itself, letters of recommendation need to be sent, my transcripts from both colleges, my personal statement, my experiences, etc.. etc.. just lots of writing and driving around.

God bless everyone and thank you again for all your support. Much love!

Alex
