So my highest MCAT is 500 (123 c/p, 124 bio, 125 cars, 128 psych/soc). I did not study much for it and I made a huge mistake retaking the MCAT 3 weeks after this before getting my 500 score back bc I thought I did terrible the first time and wouldn't be able to retake again before the end of...

I felt pretty good on 3 out of the 4 sections on the MCAT, but I felt awful about CARS, I had been averaging around a 125 on CARS previously and I am mostly applying DO, but did anyone feel they completely bombed CARS or other sections but then they got a score completely different than they...

So I'm currently wait listed at three schools. I scored a 31 on my first MCAT (10, 10, 11) on Jan. 15. 2015. Since I'm reapplying many schools require the new version of the MCAT. Is taking the new version in August of this application cycle (2018) way too late? (Technically my score is still <3...

I took the MCAT on 8/21/2015. So far this cycle I have only made it to the waitlist of 2 MD schools. I believe that the reason I have only been waitlisted is more related to GPA / Experiences than my MCAT score. As a result, I would prefer to not have to take the MCAT again. I know the rule...

I want to make a gigantic poster of all the amino acids because I hear that it's going to be a "yuge" part of the exam.The problem is I am finding different websites telling me that certain amino acids are polar when they're not or vice versa and when it comes to hydrophobic versus hydrophilic...

Hi SDN, I took a practice FL through AAMC and scored a 488. My target score is a 508, and I have about 3 months until my MCAT. According to my base score, is it unrealistic for me to reach my target in 3 months? Also, do you guys have any advice on different studying methods to improve my...

Hey guys, I recently took the MCAT and got a 505 which I know is below the average but with a 4.0 GPA do you think I have a shot at MD schools in Texas? Or would I be better off retaking the exam?

Hey guys, so I just took the MCAT in January. I got a 501. Really not what I wanted (my ultimate goal is a ~508). I knew what I was getting based on my AAMC FL, but I didnt give myself enough time to practice or didnt do so efficiently i think. I didnt void cause I heard schools see if you void...

I had some questions on this topic: 1- Is diffraction the same as interference? 2- why does the slit size have to be comparable or smaller than the wavelength? and is it the case for single slit and double slit? Thanks a lot!

I have a question about using full length practice exams. If I were to buy a full length exam, such as that from AMCAS or NextStep, could I practice an exam multiple times or do I only have one shot at the test? Thanks!

How is the official MCAT scored? For instance, how many problems from each section would I need to get right to get a 125? And, is my score being compared to other test-takers that day? Thanks! :)

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know a little bit about my position and what schools I should be looking at! I am open to both MD and DO! Applying next cycle and took the most recent MCAT date in September. With the grades I'm looking at this semester, here are my stats: MCAT 509 (but low CARS...

So I am taking the MCAT in April 2017, and I've been looking for review material to buy (plan to self-study). The problem is that everyone seems to recommend so many different materials! I have looked through some of the popular study plans on sdn, but I want to ask: Is there anything against...

I chose my MCAT date this past summer based on the cutoffs listed in the MSAR, however I have since observed that for some schools (mostly my reaches) an MCAT from May 2016 will be expired for matriculation in 2019. I have been told that retaking a good, "unexpired" MCAT can give a negative...

Has anybody used the cramfighter app for studying for the MCAT? I'm wondering if it's worth the investment...

Hello everyone! I was wondering if any of you have any advice on flashcards. Did you make your own or did you buy them? Also what do you think are the things that you should definitely memorize for the MCAT?

Hey everyone. Im taking the Jan. 28th exam, and have taken two diagnostics and one FL thus far. I am roughly 3weeks into content review. NS half length (0 studying): 493, Kaplan diagnostic (1wk studying): 499, and Kaplan FL 1 (~3wks): 497 (125, 124, 124, 124). Im shooting for a 510+ with my...

Hello all, I need some input. I took the MCAT for the first time last month and received my score today, and I don't know what to think. I am questioning everything. I'll give you a rough outline of my "stats" and I would really, greatly appreciate if some of you experts out there could weigh-in...

I am going to make this super short and sweet! I've spent more time than I'd love to admit 'researching' prep/review books and courses. At the end still coming to the basic fact that the MCAT tests three core concepts; which we all already know: 1. Foundation Concepts, 2. Content, and 3...

Has anyone self studied biochem for the MCAT and found it to be doable? If so, what resources do you recommend? Thank you in advance for your time and help!!
