Hey Guys,
I recently took the MCAT and am trying to gauge my score to decide whether I should continue studying or not.
I know people generally say that you tend to score within your average AAMC FL's but is that only true if you perform the same on your real test as you did on your practice? For example, I always finished my practice tests on time and felt fairly confident in my answers, thus my scores tended to be fairly similar (30-34). But on the actual test I ran out of time, had to rush through last passages of each section and did not feel confident at all. In fact, I felt that I had to guess much more than on my practice tests.
Does this mean that I will be the case where I don't fall within my average? I know this question is hard to answer and everyone is different. But for those of you who felt the same way that I do (didn't perform the same way on your actual test) how did your test score compare with your gut feeling and practice tests?
Thank you to those who respond!!!
