Six days guys! I am going to be in lab-- since everyone knows I will be looking at score, it will be really awk if it goes really badly lol


Amber, don't get too down. I think everyone is usually a little disappointed on PS performance and lingers on stupid mistakes as if it were the end of the world. Some (not all) are pleasantly surprised by score nonetheless.

How did you feel about rest of passages
Click to expand...

I felt pretty good about the rest of the six passages. I felt that they weren't as tricky as the passages on kaplan or aamc practice tests. However, there was some questions that I wasn't 100% sure on the answer, probably four questions (incorporation and application questions). The verbal section was the section that I always performed the worst on during practice tests, so it is no surprise to me that it was the toughest section on the real exam. I just really hope that I can get at least a 9 because if I get something lower I'll have to re-take the mcat and that will mean my application will be reviewed super late in this application cycle. I'm really nervous about this Tuesday.

I had a real issue with timing which I didnt on the practice tests. I only got the timing on Verbal right. thought i was doing well on timing on Bio but for some reason had limited time left by the end. But it was not nearly as bad as PS. I blew my timing on the PS. Its sad because I did so well on my AAMC practice tests and had no indication that I needed to practice timing except for verbal.

I agree with shh-pthway, dont get too down. I made dumb mistakes on the physical and biological section because I was nervous, and I ran out of time on the verbal, which you nailed, so that's awesome. Since the scale for the physical section is more lenient than the verbal and biological section that should help you. I really hope you are pleasantly surprised with your score.

From what I reckon, based on everyone's post test reactions, each section of the test was hard for at least someone. It seems PS more than BS than VR. So, if we feel like this chances are the people who answered our questions as experimental questions in a previous test, probably felt the same way. I think each section will be curved in some way compared to the AAMC scale. Just how much, we can't know exactly.

maybe its because im in canada again for undergrad, the schools here take your best mcat with no concerns if youve written it a bunch of times. i messed up july 2nd, scored it, and now im writing again tomorrow! no stress, no pressure. ill still need some opiates to numb myself on tuesday but for now, everything is fun and dandy!

I think you are in for good news Tuesday, especially since verbal was on easier side
