Mock MCAT, Do It Like Real Thing

Today was a blessing from on high.  I treated the day as if it were the actual day of my MCAT (which it will be in  a week from today).  I played tennis in the morning. Practiced mental toughness and endurance when I was tired during our last set...(I pushed through and whooped him;).  I came home and went through my flash cards for about an hour and a half, at lunch, took a nice long nap and headed off to campus right around 1:30.  I began the exam exactly at 2.

My mental capacity was most definitely utilized today.  I took a full on practice MCAT.  It took me from 2-7 o'clock precisely. Towards the last twenty minutes I started to feel a little bleaza (apathy), about the problems. As soon as I realized my lack of care, I immediately thought about the future of my family and how much it depended on this singular moment.  I refocused and finished strong. I have yet to review that section to see how well I did on the last portion of my biology section. It would be interesting to see how mentally tough I really was.
At the end of my exam the screen came up, "would you like to have your MCAT scored"  I clicked yes but before doing so prayed that whatever I got it might show much improvement and also help me to remain fixed and focused on pushing through my learning all the way until test day.  Here are my scores: 10 physical science, 8 Verbal Reasoning, and 11 Biological Science, total: 29.  I was very pleased and grateful for that score. I am simply one away from my goal of a 30 (10-8-12) and if I can get that I think I will at least be competitive for the schools I would like to get into...hopefully ( Actually a higher MCAT would be even better because my GPA is very much below average but I have to be realistic about my MCAT. Granted I am working as hard as possible,  I must also have high AND achievable goals).
It is up to me to do well on this exam. I will continue to work as hard as I can and to be successful in understanding every principle and every problem and every concept. I know I can, if I have the spirit and follow it's direction (I have found that I must remember reactions and laws in very creative ways. They stick much better that way).
Until.
