Who is taking MCAT on this day?
a friend told me about some guy who registered for a MCAT in Hawaii so he could take a week vacation there after taking it lol (his parents paid for everything)...I checked before the last reschedule deadline and they were all booked. I hope they do open up. I was thinking to sign up again too (and cancel if my score doesn't suck), but if not in California then maybe in a nearby state.
dang i wished you had taken a screenshot of what dates are open. could we make accounts to just look at what dates are available lol?
i was also gonna take it on the 12th and cancel my January MCAT (if i'm even able to get one) if I score 30+. i don't have very high hopes lol.
i'm in UCSD area which is a pre-med haven if you don't know our rep
just finished AAMC 8 and got 10/10/9....!!!!
Yes! I see the same thing! @Oh_Gee get on there and check it out: the only test dates available in California are for Sept 12th! Go to the AAMC site, log in, and under your registration date there with be a hyperlink that says "How to Reschedule", click on it and you can see all the available seats...

yeah pretty muchsorry to hear that - I did a lot better on AAMC-9 after bombing #8, maybe your scores will be similar? What do you feel like doing? Are you going to go ahead and take it on Friday and hope for the best, planning on getting another date in Jan if it doesn't go well?
the old ones and the 2015'sI am definitely freaking out! Just trying to keep calm until test day. Going to take AAMC 11 tomorrow morning. I'll do some verbal and light review before the test, but nothing more! I'm just hoping the MCAT gods are lenient on Friday and won't kick my ass with verbal.
i'll hopefully finish the AAMC VR SA tonight and review that tomorrowSo what are y'all doin tomorrow?
i'm watching 8 mileOr...listen to "I'm not afraid" by Eminem. That's what I'm doing. On replay.

Was BS harder than AAMC 11 BS?
Definitely. Miles harder than AAMC 11 BS imo.
Every section was harder than any of the AAMC exams.Was BS harder than AAMC 11 BS?
Did you do worse on AAMC 11 BS compared to the other ones? I got by far my worst score on AAMC 11 BS.
Don't take AAMC 11 BS to be an absolute judge of your performance. I know everyone says that it is most representative of the current test (which is TRUE) but I made a 10 on my AAMC 11 BS the weekend before my exam (1 less question would've dropped to a 9) but managed to get a 12 on actual exam.Did you do worse on AAMC 11 BS compared to the other ones? I got by far my worst score on AAMC 11 BS.
But if I use TBR, I'll be able to answer those random facts, right? Lol.I wrote for a second time today. Originally scored a 27 (7PS, 11 VR, 9BS) on 6/21/14. I was ecstatic over my VR score, satisfied (kinda) with my BS, but I was bothered by my PS. I know a 7 is a cutoff for many schools and I just wanted to see a higher score in that section. My AAMC average was 29 (9PS, 10 VR, 10BS). I knew I could raise that PS a point or two and hopefully my BS.
PS: I was pleased with my performance. I thought the questions weren't too convoluted. I read another user say that they thought that the hard questions were very hard; I have to agree. I honestly felt that progressing through the PS section that I was pretty on top of my game. I didn't do perfect, but feel better than last time.
VR: Verbal was rough today. Definitely felt that the passages were long, author opinions were extremely vague... Verbal always seems difficult, though. I thought it was a long, hard walk today. Still feeling pretty down about my performance here, but I felt the same way after my last test.
BS: I feel I am pretty good at this section--NOT today. Those passages were extremely heavy in molecular bio and biochemistry. Experiment-based passages were the majority and harder than AAMC #11. By a long shot. I also saw someone mention that the BS section today basically required straight memorization of structures...can confirm. Felt really poorly after finishing this section, hoping for the best.
After my initial start of feeling good, the test kind of went downhill from there. I'm hoping that some of these curves will be lenient!
Also...SO glad I'm not taking the 2015 MCAT. Not only are the passages long, but that **** is boring.
But if I use TBR, I'll be able to answer those random facts, right? Lol.
hey did you have to wait until you could register again? i came back to my pc after the test(submitted my score) and saw that on the registration website, my original registration is there. i was planning on signing up for a january date just in case. how long do i have to wait until i can sign up again? or do i make another account?Yeah I took the real one yesterday. It was really tough. I studied my butt off but in much less time than I would've wanted (due to certain issues). So although it didn't go as well as I would've liked, it was good to experience test day at the least...looking forward to crushing it on the 12th with all of you!!
