What is your threshold score on the MCAT, the score below which you will retake the exam?
I took the MCAT for the first time on December 6th, and I am trying to choose my own threshold before my score is released on (hopefully) January 6th. I have a seat reserved on January 13th if I need to retake.
My current feeling is: If I get 30 or below, I retake. If I get 31 or higher, I keep it.
I chose the threshold of 30-31 because I am fairly confident that I can either (A) score better on the retake or (B) realize that I have not done much better, and void the retake. If I do void the retake, then med schools will never know I attempted it.
If you tested on December 6th, what is your threshold? If you haven't come up with one, maybe you should do that now.
If you tested at some earlier time, what was your threshold, and did you surpass it? What about on the retake?
