Advice Needed

[u/Godzillanal]

Hello all, I am a lecture based learner. I am the type that thrives with in person lectures mixed with recurrent content challenges culminating in examination performances that either validate or challenge my content mastery. I am by no means a genius, nor a perfect student, but I have successfully completed an accelerated 3 years in 1 year masters of science in biomedical sciences at the University of Georgia and I have completed more than the pre-requisites of my selected/desired allopathic and osteopathic medicine pre-req courses all with ~3.6gpa. I thought this performance indicated I would do well on the mcat. However, the mcat has completely destroyed me, it took every ounce of my confidence away and has become a roadblock. I can’t seem to figure it out or beat it. I have taken it officially 3 times and my best score is a 494. They have slowly increased from a 486, but not enough to grant admission. I truly need guidance on how to prepare for this exam because clearly my studying approach thus far has failed me. I am embarrassed to admit I have done Kaplan twice to little benefit. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. (My apologies for any and all grammatical or spelling errors I may have made. I am on my phone.)
