I figured I should start this thread/support system. Good luck studying!
How many credit hours did most you take this semester?
It was really hard to find dedicated study time between a class load of Biochem, Anatomy 2, microbiology, Econ 2, Gov, and labs.
If I redo this damn test I'm taking a 1/2 load of classes
is anyone else going over all the questions in their head and then thinking how you could have missed everything? Or am I just crazy?
why can't I stay away from this thread!? And AAMCASS, let's make a deal, I'll fill out your stinkin post test questionnaire if you give me my g*dd*mn score!
Agree. They keep ruining our lives even after the test. This is the scenario I've been obsessed with since last Saturday: after many days struggling to recover from the battle with the MCAT beast, kryptonian now goes back to his earlier eager self and starts spending time on his AMCAS account. He meticulously polishes every detail on his application, writes his personal statements with all the passions and hopes he has, orders the transcripts and excitedly gets all the great LORs he needs. All of his ducks have been got in a straight row. All else he has to do is clicking the Submit button. BUT, to his most horrendous dismay, he logs into THx on May 30 only to find a number in low 20 and/or a Verbal of 4. His only dream is vaporized within only a few seconds ...
Well, anyway, my narrating skill is not very good. You get the picture . Seriously, this is the scariest thing to me
Same scenario going through my head.

I keep trying to convince myself that spending the next three weeks doing my application and getting my last LORs aren't going to be a complete waste of time when I find out my score on the 30th. I thought I was alone. On this one.
I still have not gathered motivation, however, I have finally left my bed which I have been in endlessly since Sunday and have migrated to the couch where I am drinking beer and attempting to finally beat twilight princess.
Have you started your AMCAS yet Folktale ?
Yep. Finished the first three tabs already. Going to work on my PS tomorrow. Have you started AMCAS yourself? Also are you using interfolio?

I initiated it this morning but I probably won't touch it until I finish requesting LORs. I will use Interfolio because it looks like it's a lot cheaper than my home university's career center. It cost ~ $80 or something per year, whereas Interfolio costs a lot less than that. Hey do you think whether I should buy a 3 year plan or 5 year ? What happens after the plan ends ? Do they throw our letters away immediately if we don't renew the plan ?
The thing is we still have to move forward anyway, even though it's a move full of uncertainty. Do you have any backup plan in case the score is not in your desired range ?
Make sure you beat Ganondorf with the suit that uses rupees as damage shield. Link looks awesome in the credits when he still wears it.

Why use interfolio? It looks like teachers can upload the LOR right onto your AMCAS application. What am I missing?
Ok man, i am in exactly the same boat. I see everyone talking about their upper 30s score and man, i am praying i even got upper 20s. i thought it was a difficult test. trust me, you are not alone in the feeling of desperation.
Don't anyone worry here, the more I remember about the test, and the topics, the more I realized I got wrong. I'm up to about 6 wrong for sure on PS, and 5 on BS. Here's an equation for you:
ME = 14
I only remember the questions that really really pissed me off and I don't know how anyone had time to remember all the questions and answers lol

I'm confused also. My school has my LORs in a File. I thought I just had them sent to amcas through the school
Also, iv worked at best buy for 3 years and my immediate manager would write a badass letter for me and I know it would be amazing but I don't know of it'll count for anything or if it will look bad because it's a retail letter. I'll have 2 from professors, one from a doctor, and one from a committee MAYBE in addition to the one from my manager. Opinions?

Ok so I finished filling out AMCAS up to coursework. Now time to focus on finals and worry about the rest of it after finals are over >_<
I'm assuming you're using your school's LOR storage service, right ? It's basically the same as what Interfolio does. I'll use Interfolio simply because it's cheaper and more effective than my school's service. If your manager can write you a stellar one, definitely ask for it.
^dont tell me the question...
But what general subject matter was it on, so I can see if I remember the question
Graph based question
I think I blocked the test from my psychological memory. I literally can only think of one or two questions from any of the sections.

Ugh thats the worst. I feel the same way too. I thought I did relatively well, but I don't know now...
The messed up thing is, with BS, I feel like there were a lot of random questions that didn't make sense...I would mention them, but I don't want AAMC to show up at my door tomorrow.
And then with PS, I feel like there were a lot of tough calc questions that I just guessed on because it would've taken too much time to do them.
All I need is a 28. *fingers crossed*
It's so I can keep LORs on file instead of re-asking professors if I have to reapply.
So how much information do they give us with our scores? I think it was mentioned here earlier but I can't find it. Obviously they don't tell us what questions we missed, but do we get a % correct out of 52, 40, and 52? Or just that bullsh*t 0-15 scale on each section
Graph based question
You get the 0-15 scale and if you click on the link of the date it shows you your percentile score for each section for your test date. So it doesn't tell you % correct or incorrect, it just shows where you rank amongst the other test takers (eg: 83.4-95.6%)
Pretty sure it's impossible to get a 0. I remember reading in the official guide that it's scored between 3-45.
Not that it matters, who the hell is getting a 0?
Oh, wait... me.
Lol your gunna get ur score back and have like a 35 lol and I don't think you can get a 0 I was just saying hypothetically.
On a side note, I don't think iv ever seen a thread this long
Lol yea this thread is ****ing LEGENDARY.

How the f.uck is this thread still going on? Some of you guys need to get your ass off SDN and enjoy the outside world!
Anyway, are we asking application questions on this thread like we said? I have one -
Under the TMDSAS application, there's a section for "Academic Recognition." I'm obviously including Dean's List and scholarships, but do you guys think I should include the grants I received throughout undergrad?
