Depends on curve... but anyone have any good stories... such as missing a couple of questions and still getting a high score (kind of like a curve inbetween kaplan and AAMC)
For ex, I know as a fact... that I missed 4 PS questions (who knows what else I missed) =(
It'd be interesting to know... perhaps someone missed 10 and got a 12 still... just to give us some hope that the curve works

something interesting I found when looking for threads on curves

The tests do have non-static difficulty. Some tests are just plain harder than others. This does not mean that they intended it that way, or are out to get you or anything, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. On May 25th I happened to get a very difficult Physical Sciences section. I know for a fact that I missed >4* (double-checked all my answers at home with a physics book), yet I still got a 14. So it shows that there is indeed a curve, because on some forms you can miss more and get the same score.
Either way, they're not intentionally trying to screw you. All the MCAT exams are difficult. The curve is built-in, and regardless of the difficulty of the test you should score around where your AAMC diagnostics point you to.
*however, to add to the ambiguity, some may have been experimental questions and thus not counted towards my total score.
