Hi everyone! It's definitely not been an easy semester, but I've started studying again for my MCAT which I will take in January! Personally, it was super discouraging to get a score back from my first MCAT which I took in August, and not achieving my goal. I've had to remind myself that retakes aren't as uncommon as I might think, and even though studying for this exam again will be tough, I can do it! I hope anyone who is also having to retake stays strong in this journey as well, and it's definitely a great feeling to know Kaplan has our backs! Stay strong and keep studying! #SBA #MCAT

    Hi Bianca! Don't be discouraged, when I took my first diagnostic exam I scored far below what I was anticipating! I have always struggled with test taking but for some reason I really felt like I would do better than I did! The diagnostic exam was kind of a wake up call for me to make sure I kick my studying into high gear and do get the resources I knew I needed. For example, I realized maybe I should apply for testing accommodations for my testing anxiety! It is important to be your own advocate and study/get the resources that will help you best! I completely agree, stay strong!! This March will be my 2nd test and I am so hopeful now that I have prepped how I needed to and advocated for myself!
