Hey so I know a lot of us were posting on June MCAT'ers unite, but I want to get to know the progress of all of us 6/21'ers in particular. Let's do it.
Correct.It's against the SDN terms of service to post false messages about scores being up.
probably don't tell your future herpes patients to have some perspective because at least they don't have HIVI'm just putting things in perspective. I'm nervous and anxious too.
Do you guys think the bio section was curved generously?!
33. Time for more shots. Thankfully of the celebratory nature.Am i the only one 6 shots deep in tequila while waiting through this torture????
9/8/10=27
Not retaking because I've taken this damn test too many times, not pleased but hoping for the best. Avg was around 31.
how do you feel the curve was?
congrats man!I got a 30!!!!!
I got a 6 in verbal . Better than my averages for physics and bio. I need at least a 7 in verbal to apply to my schools. I thought I did well on verbal and bombed physics but turned out the other way around. Clearly I suck at predicting my score. Speachless. Super happy for everyone who did so well!
I've been reading through this thread for a while, decided to post and see what you nice people have to say. Also, congrats to everyone who is getting the score they'd hoped for or better!
Test Date: 6/21/2014
FL AAMC Average: 31.333
Post-test expected score: 28-30
Actual Score ( PS / V / BS): 31 (13/10/8)
Comments: Not sure how to feel...
2011 score: 27 (10/6/11)
2012 score: 27 (9/6/12)
Happy to have gotten a 31, as 4 points is a pretty decent jump from my last two MCAT exams from three and two years ago, and the only reason I was retaking was because of my super low verbal score, which has finally reached double digits (woo!)...but extremely disappointed in my bio score...I had been averaging 11-12 on my AAMC practice exams...and I've taught physiology for the past two years...I know my bio, I swear! I wonder how badly this will reflect on my overall application.
Need some advice guys:
I'm content with my score, and I understand it is not high: 26 (10/9/7 (Expected a lower Bio it was tough))
I have a 4.0 AO GPA and a 3.9 SCI GPA with great clinical experience (with lost of patient contact), lots of meaningful leadership, teacher assistant positions, and strong letters. I feel that I am very well rounded but this MCAT is killing me. I know MCAT isn't the only thing schools look at. Is it wrong for me to think I will get in keeping this MCAT score?

Comments: It was such a huge relief to see my score! Followed by happiness! Although I thought I did better on VR than usual-- and it turned out exactly the same as my average. Then again, I also thought I did worse (A LOT WORSE) on BS and PS than usual-- and turned out just around my average again. SO, I have to agree that your practice test scores are really the very best predictor.
I am signed up for the test on 8/7. I haven't decided if I will actually take it, though. Thoughts?

got 12/10/12 = 34
kaplan (took the first 5) and AAMC (took 8 of these) average = 36.75
12 is exactly what i expected from PS. i knew i missed a couple but i also knew my floor was pretty high.
kind of disappointed with a 10 in verbal. i felt pretty good after that one, but i do understand that it's an easier section for everyone and the scale is harsher, plus fewer questions means getting one wrong (or right) can swing your score more sharply
very pleased with a 12 in bio, given the difficulty of the passages. obviously there was a very generous scale on this section, because i ran out of time and had to educated-guess on several. i was getting consistent 12s and 13s on the practice tests, so i wouldn't have been thrilled with a 12 a month ago, but considering how i felt after the test i'll take it
overall not thrilled with the score but it's still pretty good, and i won't retake. i signed up for thursday's (7/24) immediately after the test because i knew my score would be on the lower end of my range. i got a 40 and a 39 on the two AAMCs i took this past week in preparation for having to retake, but i think with a 34 the chances are too great that i'd post a score within a couple points of that, so it's not worth it. i was hoping for a 36+, but i can live with a 34
The 7 might really hurt you. You can apply and retake.

Comments: I'm so happy, I screamed. I'm so relieved! I studied for a long time and worked very hard, and even though some luck may have been involved, I'm so glad to be done! And what a great balance! I can now apply to my dream school. I actually semi-cried when I saw it. YAY!!!! Congratulations to everyone who got their score! And, for those that didn't, use me as an example. I got a 23 (9/7/7) the first time around. I worked hard and hung in there and I am so happy to see the results! Don't give up!!!
From my understanding some schools take the highest in each section from each MCAT. Which would be a 35 for you, which is really solid.
I understand you bro. I was hoping for a glorious 37-39 but who cares our scores are good enough and the real goal is med school not outdoing peoples MCAT scoresAverage: 36 (12 12 12)
Actual: 37 (14 ps 12 bio 11 vr)
Nothing amazing, but pretty good. Im satisfied. Hard to feel to happy about this after someone I know got a 43
Would it matter if on the last MCAT (my computer shut down twice during the exam and I had to leave the test site for 30 min during the verbal section lol) I scored an 8 on bio? Do most schools look at the highest score of each section among all the tests you taken?
