Ill start. I am definately glad the test is over and getting back to a normal life has been nice. However, i have this feeling that I really botched the verbal. The waiting is definately the hardest part. I am definately thinking less and less about the test as time goes on.

I start school on Monday. I am definitely NOT in the psychological frame of mind for this slow grind after a summer of slowly grinding for the MCAT.

 

[supafield]

Only the last day or two have I started to seperate myself.... I just ordered a Macbook Pro and have started to anticipate it's arrival more than the MCAT scores... mind you I sneak onto this website still and remind myself....

I think i covered myself in the first 3 sections...
I just wait and hope that brutal F form Bio worked out for me.... no way of knowing....

 

[IckeyShuffle]

Yeah i was an F form as well. I think the verbal got me though, not the bio.

 

[deleted106503]

One week ago at this exact time I felt exactly the same--hungry. I'm about to eat. Other than that, I haven't thought about it much anymore.

 

[supafield]

sadly I read this and remembered I'm hungry as if I couldn't do it on my own...
thank you for the reminder..

 

[DrBowtie]

Today is great. I lounged around where anytime before last Saturday, I'd be taking a PT.

 

[Knickerbocker]

I'm feeling that I didn't do so great, especially in verbal. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised instead of having to retake in January.

Only seven weeks left now... School always seems to go by quickly during the first month or so, so I look forward to it starting.

I can honestly say that I am eating more now. The caffeine withdrawal was hard. Other than that, reading more and attempting to finish writing papers -hopefully to be published. I am trying to not obsess over my scores though. However, my chick flick season has resumed!

 

[chaeymaey]

Now freaking out that I'm behind in my classes. Med school + grad school = a very fast paced education.

 

[The Kahuna]

I'm mellowing out, yet still haunted. I'm sure in a couple more weeks I won't be bothered much by the thought of waiting for the scores.

 

[sendwich]

F form here as well.. can't believe it's only been ONE week since the mcat. feels like eons ago tho.

 

[docolive]

I am just generally bitter that classes have started and that I have a major paper to finish from the previous semester + starting a new lab position + studying for classes. no kudos for me. 🙁

 

[mrsdkelley]

i'm glad it's over...it's over! and i don't want to do it again!

 

[Chemgirl27]

Im still anxious. Maybe not as much as Saturday night, but it's definitely still there. I had an F form and I really feel like I screwed up verbal and the thought of getting my score back makes me feel sick. What a bad feeling, but hopefully it will leave me soon.

yeah, the f form verbal was the toughest i have ever seen. I felt like i was guessing on almost half of the questions so you are not alone. Maybe it was the stress of the real thing, i dont know, but it was def tougher than usual

 

[gujuDoc]

Well I don't know how I'm feeling about it. However, I can say I'm thoroughly bored today and just hoping I can get into the classes I want to take. I'm ready for school to start because I hate feeling un productive.

 

[MitJ]

The only thing I feel like doing is studying.

My gut feeling hasn't changed: 13-8-11-S. Verbal makes me stay up at night. 🙁

 

[lytesnsyrens]

Well, I'm feeling annoyed. My EK 1001 physics book just came in the mail. Go figure. I coulda used it about a month ago!

Other than that, I haven't really even thought about it. I don't care anymore. Whatever. I'm beyond caring. I'm just glad it's over.

 

[thadocta26]

I'm sick... and I'm moving to Ireland in 2 days, which means moving out. Other than that, peachy-keen.

 

[Igor4sugry]

Definetely feels much longer than one week. Glad this ordeal is over.

 

[Nikki2002]

i feel like ****. and i can't get my avatar to upload

 

[FutureMD07]

hiii ... yup it feels really good not to have to study anymore... i had F test form as well and i am afraid to get my scoressss..its like a nightmare...

 

[Darlaa]

I've been having MCAT dreams for about 5 days now. They started off as pretty nightmarish (couldn't get back into the room after our first 10 minute break) but now they're just dreams. I guess I'm just grateful I wasn't having the nightmares before I had to write 😱

 

[IckeyShuffle]

definately feels like more than a week at this point. I feel like I took it a month ago!

As a general rule of thumb most people find it harder to cope with the aftermath of the test then the time before the test because before the test you still have that slight hope and those good practice scores to hold your hopes but after the test you know its the real deal and you feel unsure because we are forced to wait so long for scores to come out.

Can I get an Amen to that? I feel so lousy. Beyond lousy--ashamed about my pending score... I wonder if I'm going to continue to feel worse until I see the confirmation. I wish there were some legal mind eraser...that would allow me to forget that day existed, but enough to remind me to log onto THX to check my scores... 👍

OK, I'm being too dramatic... but I thought I'd feel all relieved. I feel as though I just got pissed on by some drunk and I'm not sure exactly what to do... ok I KNOW--weird analogy, but that's the first thing that came to mind...

 

[tik-tik-clock]

I've had MCAT on my mind on and off, but I have to leave the though behind, because I m trying to deal with so many other things that were pending....

School, Gym, Men, Trying to start up a Business etc. I really wish I had the time to sit back and relax though. Suddenly everyone's expecting me to get back to them, because "I m done with MCAT". And now it seems like I have a whole lot more to do, then I had before. As we speak I am writing a stupid Poli Sci Paper.. and I still remember the passage in the EK 101 book that talked about groupthinking in democracy....

Oh well, I think I m gonna stop thinking and just start working it up for Jan.

 

[Dimness]

Working and playing video games. Life is good until I get my scores.

 

[TalulaTalula]

1. still getting up at 6AM, because that was my wake up time in prep of the big day
2. Doing some leisurely reading....namely reading scientific and medical journals online while at work 😛 😳
3. having nightmares about having to re-take the test👎
4. finally spending some time with those I love 😍

Thanks-it's great to know I'm not a kook...well at least not b/c of these dreams 😳 Hopefully once classes start again my brain will be too full of all the new stuff I'm trying to stuff in the nightmares will stop. How many more days until we expect results?

Yeah I have developed this bad coffee addiction that I can't break, and I still can't sleep before 1:30 am.😳

 

[chaeymaey]

OK, I'm really ready to get my score now. It's crazy to be filling out secondaries and not even know what my new MCAT score is.

 

[physiologyguy]

Am i the only one that ended with 4 of 5 of their last practice exams being 35-37, yet they walked out of the real thing thinking they d be lucky to get a 28?

 

[akinf]

I don't know. I though the MCAT went alright...I know it was tough...but I kept telling myself during that things were going alright just to try and keep a positive attitude. I am a Canadian applicant so we apply to most schools before scores are out, hopefully things went well.

nope you are not alone.

DEFINITELY NOT ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone feels that way after coming out of the test. I know people who've ended up with 33-40+ scores who felt like they had the crap beaten out of them.

 

[akinf]

I'm feeling worse and worse as the days go on. I felt ok after coming out, now I'm not feeling so good.

 

[DrBowtie]

Here is now how I feel about it:
1) Whenever I'm busy, I tend to think about it and it will stress me out more
2) Trying to figure out what score I would retake at.
3) Let those few questions that I remembered go and know there isn't anything I can change now.
4) Haven't been checking THx.
5) Contemplating a trip to Iowa

Brett, this is no laughing matter. 😀

 

[IckeyShuffle]

i am trying my best not to think about it, coming to these forums doesnt help.

 

[Nikki2002]

2 weeks out and i still feel like ****. thanks for asking

 

[superwillis]

Ahh, its been like, 3 something weeks since that day, and I'm still thinking about individual questions occasionally (just the 6-7 questions that were bugging me at the end of the test). It sucks when i remember a question, and I remember that I was deciding between two answers, but I cant remember which one i picked!!

I think I did okay, but really its just that I'm unsure of how I did. Even if i didn't do well, i'd feel much better KNOWING my score and dealing with it then sitting here in the dark. The worst part is, the only way to keep myself from thinking about the test is to keep myself involved in more work.

UUGGGHHHH....

 

[Novagir18]

Don't worry everyone, it will be over soon. I remember feeling the exact same way in June! Good Luck everyone, I'm sure you will all do great!

 

[Iceageheatwave]

I'm feeling worse and worse as the days go on. I felt ok after coming out, now I'm not feeling so good.

i had a list of nine md schools that i would apply to if my mcat score came out ok. As the days pass, im wondering why bother.

 

[medfool24]

Yeah it's annoying because this test determines a lot. I know I got owned by verbal, science I think I held my own, but who knows. All I know is that I really want it to be over in the sense I want my score NOW.
