lol
i think so...but then ive been looking at my AAMCs and realize i pretty much had just as many guesses and whatnot on those. i think the reason i'm freaking out so much is b/c i never have to consciously think about all the questions i missed or may have missed after the AAMCs. as soon you choose "score test" you see your score! you don't have get all nervous about what you missed! this wait is torture!
go look at the mid-june thread, though. just about EVERYONE got their AAMC average. so i guess in a way, we already all know our scores?
The main culprit that they all claim: nerves and sleep deprivation. So, after spending most of yesterday watching the June 13 scores roll in, I have noticed a trend. MOST people got their AAMC/Kaplan predicted grade.
However, there were those left shocked by the fact that they did not get what they thought they would.
That is all. Just trying to keep the thread alive.

agreed. everyone i know who felt shaky afterwards didn't sleep well the night before. one look at my practice VR scores, and it's clear which ones were achieved after a good night's sleep, or doing something relaxing the day before. my brain was fried from studying so much a couple weeks before the exam (7/8) that my scores started to dip. i took a step back, watched "arrested development" DVDs to have some laughs, and just tried to be as relaxed and healthy as possible leading up to the exam. this included the use of scented candles, hot tubs, and listening to the spa channel on sirius -- which at first was totally cheesy -- but it helped me relax. as a result, my practice scores improved and stabilized, and i didn't leave the exam feeling like i bombed it. of course, this feeling is meaningless without numbers to back it up, so i'll just have to wait until 8/12 to see if my strategy paid off.So, after spending most of yesterday watching the June 13 scores roll in, I have noticed a trend.

yeah -- it would have been sexy, had i not been thinking of electrolytic cells, digestive enzymes, and gas laws. oh well. sometimes you gotta create your own enthalpy.
omg.
hahahahahahahaha.
ps.
besides the PS, does EVERYONE on this thread feel like they did well on the BS and Verbal?
I thought the Verbal was unusually "easy." The obvious answer was there (and the other ones did not make sense at all). Usually, you narrow it down to 2 likely answers and hope you chose the right one...
And I finished 20 minutes early on Bio too.
If everyone thought Bio and Verbal were easy, I can't imagine how bad the curve will be :/
I did spend more time reading the passages because they were way longer than the practice, and some questions were hard to answer. So, I don't consider the section that easy as many or most of you claim. (I hope there's at least few people out there who feel the way I do.) Personally, I thought that the PS was difficult. There were few questions that were pretty straightforward. However, majority of the questions were confusing and I was unable to answer them with 100% confidence.
PS is my strongest section and I found it very different from the AAMC practice tests. I usually end up scoring a 12 or 13 on them.
But on the actual test, this section left me with the most unsatisfying feeling, which is rare.
As for the VS, I can't recall too much. I thought the passages were simpler to read than the practice tests, in the sense that I wasn't thinking to myself "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS CRAP TALKING ABOUT. DIE MCAT DIE!!", while reading it. Hhahah.
I also had people typing their essays on the keyboard really loudly and this person turning his chair left and right making squeaking noises, which really didn't help my focus.
The BS was "easier" than the practice tests. It also seemed like some of the questions, you had to know and couldn't really use the passages to figure them out.
To be honest, I can't recall that much about everything as some of you guys can. It seemed like the test went by so fast and my brain somehow chose to remove any recollection of the feeling that I had after the test. hahah..
I'm trying not to think too much about the test because it'll only make me freak out more reading how everyone thought that the exam was easy. But these forums are way too addictive.
