How exactly does what we said have anything to do with any of us having a backup plan or not?
You are going crazy cause he mentioned about back up plan.
The MCAT is not something you pass. There is no pass or fail, so please learn more about the test before you spread false hope.
However I am studying for PCAT, I know more than you about preparation for Mcat.
The MCAT is a beast of a test that most people take months out of their lives and spend thousands of dollars to prepare for.
You sound like you jealous that Mcat preparation took most of your time. I have a friend we took few classes together, she is just genius, and she is also tight on money. There is no way she is spending $1000's to prepare. All these study material is bul****, rediculois lot expensive, cause they are taking advantage of poor students. You have your textbooks from college. But surely you need to buy practice tests and guide how to study, so you can feel it. But I went to barnes&nobbles, omg.... Little box of flash cards for 30-50 doll???
Studying for it multiple times will cost him lots of money, time and energy that could have been saved if he just studied hard once and do well.
So what?
People are retaking tests, it's allowed up to Certain amount. After few years of college, I am completely exhausted to start studying for my PCAT, I just can't... I am a human, not a machine. And I watched few videos where people suggest to take a break to see you what you want.
From your posting you are the one who needs a break from studying.... Or whatever you are doing lol
However, the biggest issue for most people is not the cost (money/time/energy) of multiple MCATs, it's stigmatization associated with a low MCAT score. It is an non-erasable stain on someone's record, one that will have its effects even if that person does well on his second try. You will very rarely see anyone take the MCAT more than three times because no matter how you score after that many times, the stigmatization this applicant carries with so many MCAT scores is often too great to overcome.
If they established some number how many times you can take... Than its for a reason.
If you do not know this process well, then don't comment to spread false hope because someone may read what you said and assume that you can take it as many times as you like. .
Actually, I am not saying to study "ok", and take another chance. I am just stating that "chances do exist" according to the Mcat.
We are all at an age when we should have the capacity to handle hearing the truth even if we don't like it, and it is not bullying
.
Total BS. You need to study a psychology to know how and with whom to use such methods. I work in mental health clinic, it doesn't work for everyone... No matter how hard we want to help and think that we are being honest.
Bth, from your post you do sound like you are taking it seriously. But greentea is kinda right about that he came for advice.. And all of sudden everyone started throwing rocks at him. He got PCAT score of 91!! Give him a credit for it, many people I know they are struggling now while studying. He might think if he got 91 on PCAT, means he knows his strength and weakness.
Let him whatever the f-k he wants. If g-d willing he pass Mcat and got accepted to med school, he will see the real challenge.
Anyone out there who will apply to both med/pharm school like me? I am not very well prepared for mcat cuz i have it coming in two weeks and i just started review physics. I did well (91% percentile) on pcat without much studying but i am sure mcat is more challenging. Just curious if anyone out there who will apply to other health programs for backup just like me.
