Having been a January 10th test taker, I looked at the January 8th forum and all the panic that occurred after that test. I was expecting something brutal today and was surprised to find it not much different than any other AAMC despite what some people are saying. Don't let what some people are saying worry you, be confident in your studying and you'll be fine.wow, I read the other forum for january 10th, I'm kind of terrified. The PS was apparently hard. is anyone else super worried? I keep hoping we get hard BS or verbal or something that plays more to my strengths,

I'm excited to be done with it. And to start a campfire with my studying material in the freezing cold, kick back with some bourbon, and empty my mind for a few days in the outdoors.
So I took my last practice test today, AAMC 7 (it was my last AAMC left) and I hit 10/6/11. Not sure what happened since I've been hitting 8/9s for the most part in verbal. Anyone have any advice for verbal confidence/techniques that can be utilized in 2 days?
Finished up my last FL, AAMC 11 for a 9/10/10 - 29.
I felt like the PS on FL 11 was brutal...anyone else felt this?
AAMC 3 -23
AAMC 4 - 28
AAMC 5 - 27
AAMC 7 - 27
AAMC 8 - 32
GS-1 - 27
AAMC 9 - 28
AAMC 10 - 31
Looks like my ceiling is 31/32 and the *fingers crossed* basement is 27, besides that AAMC 3 outlier.
Now, time to post game this...last look at formulas/cards tomorrow. It's all a mental game form here folks!
I am going to take AAMC 11 and then quickly review my notes. I am kicking my nuts right now for not practicing verbal enough- only started doing the passages within these past days. I was too focused on PS and BS, which I am confident in based on my practice scores. I am hoping to improve my verbal by tomorrow. Any hope? LOLhey guys. what are you going to do tomorrow?
I have nothing to do lollll but study. dang!

Average BS 12.5 (11-14), PS 12 (11-14), V 7 (6-8) WTF (without counting AAMC 3 which I got a 23)
Thanks! I sure will do. Hopefully it'll help. I have been trying to dissect and analyze the types of questions I missed and why. I have also tried different approaches to tackling verbal passages and they have been somewhat useful. Hopefully, I can sharpen those skills by tomorrow. GL everyone!Try what I posted earlier on this thread...it really worked out well for me....can't say enough good things about the person who had posted this strategy on one of these threads...really saved me!

Is everyone here taking the 8 am exam tomorrow?
Exactly same here. It'll just be good to get this monkey off our backs and reclaim our lives lolThis thing has been weighing on me since the beginning of last summer. I haven't felt allowed to relax or forget about it since then so whether I get my AAMC average or not, I'm going to enjoy not feeling that weight on my chest.
Right!? And we have to wait until February 18th according to AAMC, unlike you guys on Feb 10?You think so......
Until the weight of waiting for your score is worse!
Just checking what I understand from the MCAT Essentials thing. All we need tomorrow is our ID right? In terms of getting into the testing center
It's fine. I dont mind driving. I have the EK audiosmosis lectures accompanying me.Oo wow. That's rough. I'm sorry for the travel. If someone is driving you at least you'll be able to review stuff in the car.
I believe it's scaled from people who have taken the same questions in the past, not from the people from your exam date. AKA wishful thinkingSo since how the country does on each exam is taken into considering when scaling, I'm wondering if this curve will perhaps be a bit more generous? Since we're one of the last administrations before the 2015 MCAT, there may be a good number of folks taking this exam who really are not ready, and will pull the national average down, resulting in a more lenient curve. Is this possible? Or just wishful thinking.
