MCAT at Kaplan?

To start off I'm 17 years old and I've taken AP classes in chemistry, biology, and physics; furthermore, I plan to go pre-med and I searched for MCAT practice tests and found the online free Kaplan test. I scored a 7 , 7 , 6 on each section. I was wondering if those scores are good for a senior to be in high school?

Hi.

Those scores don't really mean much, because the real test is curved based on all the folks who took that particular test.

Also, was that the old school pencil and paper tests or the new computer based one? That recently changed... so I don't know how the Kaplan stuff is. I took Princeton Review.

Thats cool that you're going pre-med, but what will your major be? Hopefully you won't do the typical boring "Biology major" like most other applicants. You can minor in all that nonsense anyway if you want to do well for the MCAT. Also, chances are you're not going to retain a lot of information unless you take the MCAT right after you come off of taking your Physics/Chem/OChem/Bio classes. Even then, it is totally dependent on the particular passage they want to give you for whatever subject you're taking.

I suppose you can start worrying about it now, but don't get too stressed out over it. If you want to be really hardcore, you can start studying for the USMLE. Just kidding.

Those scores are fine. I'm sure you can bump it up by 10-12 points when you're in college. Also, keep in mind that it is not enough to simply know your material. You have to know how to TAKE THE TEST. That is the major benefit from taking those prep courses. Believe me. I took the MCAT once (paper and pencil version) and the only reason I did well on it was because I took 5 or 6 full length practice exams via Princeton Review.

Good luck with everything. Don't sweat the test at this point. Just pay extra attention to stuff like immunology, genetics, micro, circuits, voltaic cells, etc...
