I know, I know it is too early but is anyone else taking it on this date?
Test Date: 08/02/2014Scores up! Got what I expected in VR and PS, worse than I thought in BS :/
bio was lower than average for me too, but I felt pretty bad about it after the test so I'm not too surprisedLower than any single Fl. Mixed bag really.
FL AAMC Average: 34 -> 11/11/12; (PS/VR/BS)
AAMC FL’s taken: 3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11 all under timed conditions with 10m breaks.
Post-test expected score: 31 (10/10/11)
Actual Score: 11/10/09; (PS/VR/BS)
PS: Surprisingly not that bad. That being said I had to rush and finish 2 passages in the last 10 minutes and as a result guessed on pretty much the entirety of one passage - which didn't even seem that hard. Prediction: 10-12. Best guess/low-ball prediction: 10
VR: About average for AAMC, first passage was the worst IMO. Should have saved it for last, had about 10 minutes for the last 2 passages, but was able to look at and give somewhat of an educated guess to every question. Prediction: 10-12. Best guess/low-ball: 10.
BS: Not terrible, except for that one passage from hell that seemed to make up for the easiness of the rest of it with all hell coming from it. Literally most of the test I was thinking "wow, this entire exam has been very manageable. I'll be on track to finish bio with 15 min left." Then that passage hit, I spent tons of time trying to map it out, and lost so much time. Ended up having to guess on 2-3 anyway. Last 10 minutes had to do 2 passages. This section really depends on good I guessed on several questions. Prediction: 9-13, Best guess/low-ball prediction: 10.
Overall impressions: Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Probably easier than AAMC 11, with BS being pretty comparable. I feel like the curve will be unforgiving. At least, I don't THINK I'll have to retake...unless I get less than a 31, I really doubt I'll retake. No time and not worth the stress.
Predicted Range: 29-36.
Best guess: 32 (I'll be happy with it). Now time to go spend money on tax-free weekend. Gonna buy me a a new apple laptop w00t w00t.
I am extremely nervous, but I know at this point it is completely out of my hands. I will just take the score and work with it for this app cycle, and sign up for the retake if absolutely necessary. I will retake under a 30.
~~~Final Prediction~~~
PS: 9-12 best guess: 11
VR: 8-12 best guess: 10
BS: 9-12 best guess: 11
Low Score: 29 somehow
Best Guess: ~32 (AAMC 10-11 were both 29 and AAMC 9 was a 34, but I felt that I performed well on the 8/2 test...however I like literally always feel that way too though!)
High end: 35
Unhappy and Retake: <30
Unhappy and No Retake: 30
Neutral/Unhappy: 31
Content: 32
Happy: 33+
Dream: 35+
Test Date: 08/02/14
FL AAMC avg: 33
Post-Test Expected: 31-36
PS: 12-13
VR: 8-10
BS: 11-13
Real Score: 33 (12/10/11)
Happy with this score, not going to retake. Hit my average. Very shocked when I saw my verbal, never scored that high before! Little disappointed with the sciences, there must've been an insane curve because I didn't think they were too difficult...
What were your average PS and BS scores ?Test Date: 08/02/2014
FL AAMC Average: 30
Post-test expected score: <30 D:
Actual Score: ( PS / V / BS) (12/09/12) :33
The VR score was around my VR average so I guess I saw that coming. I would've prefer VR score to be higher though :/
exact samehow about the FL AAMC verbal vs the actual score?
