For these ones, your best bet was just guessing based on the info you COULD understand and moving on. My marked questions came out to about 10-15 questions per block.

Even people on Reddit who end up with a score of 270+. With that said, expect to feel demoralized after the exam, but know that everyone feels this way. Going into the exam, my goal score was 240.

In hindsight, the exam was nothing like the MCAT. I could have done more practice exams, but I studied hard for it and even enrolled in an expensive MCAT course.įor Step 1, if you study hard AND study effectively, you will receive the score you deserve.
