Yeah I'm so confused. I actually thought my score was a fluke...Like 1 is literally getting everything wrong.. this makes no sense...should we email them?
they say they'd only use it if it enhances our chances so Idk about contacting them but you could try. For me, I am OOS, so my chance here is already abysmally small so I guess it is what it is
 
Me: Why haven't I gotten a secondary from UC-Davis??????
SJT: you're a f-ckin TWO.

It makes me SO curious what they do in the case of, say, a question where you select "very good (or w/e it was)" vs "very bad" or just "good" vs "very good". i don't remember seeing that kind of thing outlined.

I def liked CASPer more, even though I don't know my score. It's better if you can qualify your answers or get more info. Like "Tommy didn't do his portion of the group project, do you think the professor?". Like if Tommy is a POS, yeah. But if Tommy is having a tough time, then no.
 
From what I understand, SJT scores probably won’t impact a decision on your behalf. I was told from an advisor that if you had a bad interview they may look to see if the SJT score was an indicator but a good score won’t save a bad interview and a bad score won’t hurt a good interview.
 
Got 7 (92nd percentile) already sent in my Secondary mid March. Maybe now I'll get an II...

This is my top school so im hopeful.
 
Hello All, I am still waiting for the secondary application from UC Davis. My primary was transmitted on 7/10, and I just received a score from SJT. Should I email them with my status for secondary application or is there any advice that anyone can give me? I am getting worried now..
 
I'm just going to refuse to look at my SJT score. It's such a pointless and biased exam that UCD shouldn't at all consider in their admissions.

I do want to see how UCD is going to use this score tho. It will be interesting. If everyone could also report your SJT score when you report your II then that would be awesome. Just want to see if there is any correlation lol.

Did YOU complete the AAMC Situational Judgement Test (SJT) this year? If so, please complete our quick survey so we can learn more about your experiences.

This is a survey rather than an official study, but providing your email address may give you the opportunity to participate in actual research in the future. All responses will be kept separate from email addresses and other identifying information. Thank you!

FILLED IT OUT!!!! Ugh hopefully these students can present some evidence that this test was unfair????

I might start a book club for Unethical Students. Only 5's and below allowed. Sorry 7s. You're too much of goodygoodys for us.
 
ugh i was complete 7/14, no II yet ): seems like they already gave II to people who were complete around my time ):

I did. This is the only survey that I have answered thoughrougly and honestly. I put my all effort into it. It definitely relieved some negative feelings I had about my low score.
 
Got a 6! 76th percentile but only because I took the practice test way too seriously and basically had to unlearn all my natural instincts/responses that I learned in the actual workplace. I was part of their research study last year for this and did absolutely horrendously in that. Tbh I don't think this is a very accurate indication of your "situational judgment" and critical analysis/reasoning at all and probably just a money grab at best
 
On the Secondary in the scholarly pathway section, do yall think they would still accept people who check no to applying to those programs? I'm interested in two of the programs, but just curious. Like do the who people who check no on all of them put at a disadvantage to someone who said yes to some and answered the questions accompanying those programs?

definitely not. The school admissions made it clear that for you to even be considered to the Prime and other programs, you first need to be accepted to the med school.
