Hello, everyone so I am just starting to study for the MCAT. I took it last year and got a 30. PS:VR:BIO were 9:11:10 I was really nervous during the PS section omg i could not think and i made a lot of easy mistakes omg. I am usually never nervous before an exam but this time I was trembling lol.

Gahhh! I felt confident leaving the exam, and now I think about the few I missed here and there and it freaks me out! I had extra time on Physics and I averaged 10/11 on that section and I keep psyching myself out thinking I made more stupid mistakes -.-

Honestly the closer it gets the worse I feel. I ran out of time on ps and had to blindly guess. I'm pretty concerned and nervous about getting it back.

So out of curiosity, why is this thread so small? Compared to the July 24 thread, this one is considerably smaller.

I post in the 7/24 thread because it's more active...

Recap:
PS: Hardest, lots of questions that I didn't know the formula/conversion for and was unfamiliar with the concept.
VR: Felt okay, but the more I remember the worse I feel because I can't check my answers.
BS: Easiest for me and this is usually a weaker section.

Not going to guess at a score, but I will have a mental breakdown if I have to take another practice test.

Also read on the 7/24 thread that some of the questions on each section are trial ( yes on the PS, VR, and BS) and are not graded, so that gave me hope!

All I need is a 29... And I felt confident leaving the exam. I had tons of time left on each section, and I normally did when I took my practice tests. I'm just afraid my silly errors will haunt me :/ I felt great leaving the exam, but now I'm afraid!

I got it too, 34% and it was all sociology/psychology. Honestly really surprised I got the gift card because I guessed on every. single. question.. and finished it in 10 minutes I believe.. yikes

Each day I spend thinking about it, the more I feel like I got killed by this test. Unfortunate, because there's only one date left for the 2014 MCAT in my town and I'm not sure I want to spend the money to book it.

I've been wondering that. when I took my first MCAT in may, it said scores would be released at 5pm, but they were released at like 11 in the morning. So there is a chance, Id say. but I also dont wanna drive myself nuts checking THx all day lol

I feel like post-test feelings don't mean much for me, so it's hard to predict. Just hoping to get within a couple points of my AAMC practice test average!

I can't even predict what's to come. Just going to chill for the next couple of hours and hope to God I don't have to trudge out the MCAT prep books again.

"Hey God, I don't live in the Gaza strip or have to deal with ISIS, and there are a lot more people who need more help than I do, but if I never have to look at my MCAT physics prep book ever again that would be great."

Waiting for scores makes me more nervous than going on a first date. Scratch that, makes me more nervous than asking a complete stranger out on a first date.

I can't decide how to look at the scores.
I contemplated having my friend look at it. I also considered just not looking at all.

never got a 11 on verbal; yet never scored below 13 on PS.
i guess this makes my score balanced.

Test Date: 7/25/2014
FL AAMC Average: i only averaged 9-11 and got a 25...
Post-test expected score: 7/7/8 = 22...
Actual Score: ( PS / V / BS) 30 (10/10/10)
Comments: WOW DID NOT EXPECT THAT AT ALL. To be fair, I did get a 29 on AAMC 10 a couple days before I took the test.
THANK GOODNESS I DON'T NEED TO RETAKE!
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE!
