what would be the most advisable if the score goes down the second time you take the mcat? this hasn't quite happened, but i'm not very confident with my second score anymore (i just took it 2 days ago).
i really want to avoid taking it the third time because i really felt like i did my best in prepping this time around, and although i felt that i could have done better had i managed my time better (especially in the BS), if the score is bad, then well, maybe my scientific intuition was worse than i thought. i highly doubt that i can manage another round of prepping with my job OR do any better than how i did 2 days ago.
the reason i re-took it was to improve my previous 9 in my PS. i really think that i have at least a 10 on the PS this time around, which is great. however, i'm not so confident that my VR didn't go down this time (or perhaps even my BS). how does it look if i improve my 9 in one section, but then the other sections go down just the same and my overall score stays the same?! arghhhh
i have grad school as a close second on my "future plans" and i was gonna see how the mcat turned out, but now that im not too hopeful about the score, it's not so easy to say "ok, woo hoo grad school here i come."
