Hi Texan thank you for your reply. I really agree with your last paragraph. I can reassure you that really it's a thought experiment.
Of course I am nervous (who's not?) about getting scores back but not as worried as trying to get a job at the moment. And I was very nervous when Giants loss game 6 11-0......but game 7 we ate the White Castle team for a great win. GG to Kansas City it was a great World Series.
As you suggested I haven't checked SDN for days, which is great advice for people who are currently studying. Consistently checking and asking advice may thwart you from a preset study plan and may hurt your studying more than not. In fact, only today I have read the responses and back and forths.
I do appreciate that you are trying to alleviate whatever stress I may have on MCAT score and I really do agree that people need to move on from score once testing is over. Also to the other repliers in support of me, while Texan criticized my approach he also offered his personal insight into the issue, eg whether AAMC makes money from reschedule/cancellation or not. But the further responses criticizing his criticism of my motives, served further to derail the topic instead of furthering a theoretical discussion as I intended.
As this thread has turned into another subject, I will talk a bit about my life post test:
I have not picked up a practice test or research any problems I think I might have messed up on since the day of my test. Also have not signed up for retake. I am considering either wait till scores out to sign up or take the 2015 version. This is something I will deal with later. My motto while practicing the test is this: "MCAT doesn't make a good doctor" because MCAT is just a short part of a medical career.
Sometimes I check THx out of a blind hope they might post scores, doesn't take longer than a few seconds a day for that.
Currently I am doing more reading, history related. Practicing some programming language such as R and SQL, learning to write algorithms via C++. Waiting for news on Fallout 4, meeting up with high school friends, looking for jobs. Waiting for Black Friday/cyber Monday to get a new laptop. So just enjoying life.
If anyone is wondering, I write lengthy responses because I want to express my entire thought process. It also helps me organize and reflect on my thoughts as I edit the response.
But since this thread has diverged, perhaps for the better. I would be happy to see if anyone post their NON-MCAT related experiences post test
