Correct way to review and make use of MCAT.

Stacey/Tim,
I gave a my first test and scored a measly 600. The scores are as follows:

V - 27
Quant - 46

Stacey - I went through your article about evaluating the test. However I am still unsure what to make out of my assessment. I went through all the questions (right + wrong) and went through the explanations. I noticed that most of the questions that i got wrong in Quant were because of the following:

1. Did not read the questions properly.
2. Misunderstood what the question was asking.
3. Need to revisit Venn Diagrams and geometry.
4. Word translation takes to much time, I form correct equations but I either take too much time(I always feel that I have run out of 2 minutes limit) or misread the question.

Verbal:
1. Timing issue.
2. After about half the test, I was tired and could not think. Even on one line sentence correction I was not able to focus.
3. On critical reasoning and RC, I am following diagramming as mentioned in the guides, but I am loosing too much time. I read a couple of line and make notes and continue. Same for RC
4. I am not afraid of SC anymore, however I still facing trouble in SC to quickly recognize what is wrong with the question.

I gather from the assessment reports, that I should go back and review the topics went wrong.

However I am not still not convinced that I am reviewing it correctly. Any suggestions would be very helpful?

Thanks,
Dinesh
