MCAT - Do schools prefer certain sections?
I took AAMC FL1 a while back and got a 517 (127/132/127/131).
Just took AAMC FL2 and got a 516 (129/132/129/126).
This makes sense because I've been prioritizing the improved subjects and neglecting P/S. But given the same overall score, do schools care at all about the section breakdown? I'm testing on 5/31 so need to decide how to allocate my time in these last weeks.

I took mine a year ago so haven't paid much attention since, but pretty sure B/B and CARS are what gets looked at the best if they do a breakdown.
For psych, I'd recommend the 86 page Khan doc. I only used it for about 6 weeks and got a 131 in psych, I felt like there was nothing I hadn't seen before on test day.
If I were you I'd focus a bit on Psyc for the easy points, and focus on chem and bio equally at your weak points otherwise.
I’ll check that out, thanks!
