Is anyone taking it on this date?

 

[Kangaroo Paw]

I am! I'm feeling completely and utterly screwed (due to not studying properly for the past month and a half), but hopefully I'll pick up the slack this last month beforehand.

I'll pretty much be doing concurrent FL's and reviewing/re-reviewing all of the content before 9/2. Oops.

I took the test on 7/28 but I had some serious performance anxiety so I signed up for a re-take 9/2 just in case!

 

[koala37]

I am. I have taken the exam twice already, but I am aiming to score higher cuz my verbal was quite low the first two times i took it.

 

[koala37]

plus i primarily want to do M.D., but my score is no where near what it needs to be for allo programs

 

[DrDotooMuch]

I'm taking it on this date. I hope to kill this test.

Well, I keep carrying a TBR book around like I'm gonna read it. Then, throughout the day I think about how I should actually read it. So far, I have not read one sentence. I think the only MCAT books I'm going be able to motivate to read again are the EK books. Short, sweet, and to the point. Maybe tomorrow...

I am applying this cycle and have already filled out some secondaries. I signed up for another test because I couldn't bear to have spent all of that money submitting my primary apps just to have had a bad test day. I am crossing my fingers to get an 'acceptable' score back, but I think there would have to be some serious luck involved for that.

 

[Dudekmm]

Im also taking it...as of now! I took a couple practice tests (AAMC 3,4,5) and my scores were super low 🙁 so I may postpone till January because I dont need to take it until spring.

 

[Epimerase]

I'm in the same boat as you Dudekmm. The scores aren't where I want them to be or where I could get them with a little more time. So unless something changes within the next two weeks I'll be writing it in January. There's no use in taking the exam ill prepared when we're applying 2012.

 

[Dudekmm]

Yep Im switching mine to January, Im not where I wanna be. Im going to take a month off then start a 4 month study plan from Sept to Jan. Good luck everyone!

agreed...

it's not a good sign when you realize halfway through the passage that the words stopped making sense a while ago...

 

[MShopes]

harder section= easier curve...so don't worry but yea there was one passage that was WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL QUESTIONS WERE WTF AND THE PASSAGE ITSELF IS WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I freaking agree that overall the BS was damn hard even the discreetes that I depended on some were crazy. Whatever, time to go tune up my SRT8 jeep 😀

 

[Kangaroo Paw]

Yeah, agreed, guys. I actually didn't think ANY of the sections were good, but BS was particularly nasty. That shiz was HARD.

There was one really bad PS passage.

And VR was generally just kind of hard.

Ahhhhhh I'm scared to get this score back. Probably going to be disappointed.

Hello All,

My thoughts on today's 8 am examination.

PS: I thought that this was pretty heavy on the physics.. I was expecting a little more Gen Chem. I agree with other posters about one passage being super long. It felt like they were trying to cram 5 subjects into one long passage.

VR: This was mediocre. Some were hard and some were easy. Difficulty of VR passages is also subjective since everyone has a different perception of what constitutes easy reading and what doesn't.

BS: Did everyone get that silly passage in the beginning? I expected more hormone stuff.. I felt like the organic was mostly straighforward.

I don't know how much I can see w/o violating terms but in general just had an ok feeling about it.

I mean 'say' instead of 'see'
