Bit early, but post here if you're writing on this date. For me, it's looking to be third time's the charm hopefully.

I slowly begin to remember more and more questions... the one that got me was that one passage that you should know really well as a scribe..

how many questions was that alone like 6? lol fml

It's probably a good sign that even in your nightmares you end up with a 24. My nightmares tend to have scores like 1/1/1. The first person ever to score a 3... ever. Granted, I expect to realistically end up in the mid- to high- 20s.

You guys still have hope for a decent score? :oops: In my head, I replay myself making little calculation mistakes in PS and moving through verbal questions too quickly.

Any of you still feel exhausted after the MCAT? I know it's already been a week, but I've been feeling a lack of motivation. Not sure if this is also compounded by the fact that my SO are back to long distance. I just want to crawl into bed and eat ice cream...

Same here, I feel so unmotivated right now to do anything. I was planning to do a full blown work out plan after the MCAT look great for my Hawaii trip but I'm just here lurking and eating kitkats while watching anime. LOL.

Looking at the aug 15 MCAT score thread is freaking me out. Looks like quite a number scored well below their average....

I have a scary, doomed feeling like that's gonna be me for this thread.

Are you applying strictly MD?

Hahaha. I was kind of saying that tongue-in-cheek although I am considering applying for the usual management consulting places that recruit from my undergrad (e.g. Bain, McKinsey, BCG, etc.) for the typical two year stint as a post-graduation thing; but that would mean my non-2015 MCAT would be too old two years out. And I theoretically could just quit after 1 year and keep my old MCAT valid but that would burn bridges, ruin connections etc. so we'll see I guess.

That's wasting precious time and money!
I'm currently working right now and trying to balance on my ECs. T.T

So hard...zzzz

Yeah it looks like they got a terrible curve. It's really scary to see all the low scores.

LOL Just spent 30 minutes reading that thread..I felt so bad for them! I'm really crossing my fingers for a generous curve for us. Physics and BS were hard!

Aren't all the exams already preset to a certain curve? Also, are there questions on the exam that aren't graded whether you got them right or wrong?

Apparently they do some light wiggling to normalize everything. Like, only if the exam is super skewed? Most of it is preset--although some "arguably unfair" questions are thrown out (so I've read anyway)

LOL. I'll try to stop thinking about this. Anyway, what are you guys doing to pass the time?

Mostly studying for anatomy since there is so much damn material. This musculoskeletal anatomy class is going to rival my Biochem 2 class in amount of material

Walking out of the exam center I felt pretty good and felt just like I should hit my AAMC average. Two weeks later, the paranoia is starting to settle in and I'm remembering random questions and trying to reinterpret them. Anyone else have these feels? Lol

I felt decent after I submitted for scoring. However, paranoia set in during the third passage of the trial section and it has not subsided.

I don't know when my paranoia set in. I didn't feel good about the test, but once I realized that I made two mistakes on ridiculously easy PS questions, I really started freaking out. Still freaking out. I really hope everyone on here CRUSHES this stupid test.

Only august 15th had it bad from what I heard. However, I do know of some people in real life who took it that day who did way better than expected.
