Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has ever had issues with actual mcat not saving answers properly. This happened to me on my Bio section on the test day, and I just assumed that I might have been somehow careless, and I didn't recheck every question afterward. However, I received my score back from a retake cp:131 cars:131 127< Bio was my strongest section in my last mcat 129 ( Where I had much poorer prep and strategy ), and I also scored around the same in my practice fl. However 127 is in a different confidence band entirely.
Given that this time my performance was much better judging by my first 2 sections, I think my bio score does not make any sense , especially because I put the most time in its prep to make sure I see an improvement much like other sections. This was evident by all my practice scores and aamc material as well. On the test day , I did not encounter any topic that I was weak in. I also made sure to be more cautious than my practice FLs where I had made a few dumb mistakes. Last time I basically had to rush cp and guess blindly on 10 questions to end up with a 127... The more I consider my prep and my performance, the more impossible it seems that I somehow messed up this bad without feeling that I am under performing significantly. I know that it doesn't really matter in grand scheme of things, but I can't help but to feel I was robbed because I had devoted so much more time to bio than any other section. Plus, I am concerned that med schools will think that I was arrogant and I didn't take bio seriously , which is far from truth, if anything I wanted to make sure I improve on my strongest section.
