Hi Sun! This really depends on multiple factors like which med-schools you plan to apply to. For example, Canadian schools are especially known to place a heavy emphasis on CARS. If you scored a 515 with a 126 on CARS, your other sections have great scores. There have been success stories of top scorers where they retook in your situation, and just drilled CARS practice for a good month or two and learned better strategies for it, and improved their CARS score, so it's definitely do-able. The big question really is about your timing, schedule, how long ago you took the MCAT, schools you're applying to, if you're open to new strategies, etc. Hope this helps!
Should I retake a 515 in order to bring my cars up? It was by far my lowest section at 126, any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
