Last week I took AAMC practice test 9, got 19 wrong for a total of 125, or 87% correct.
My Score was: PS: 12 VR: 13 BS: 11, Total 36
Up to that point I had gotten, 33, 34, 34, 34, 34, 37 so I was stoked at 36.
Today I took Test 10, the final one, I felt great taking it, then I scored it.
19 wrong, 125 correct, 87% correct, SAME AS LAST WEEK!
My scores: PS 12 VR 10 BS 11 Total 33
WTF? When I got a 33 last time it was because I only got 81% correct!
This means that, compared to my other 33, I got 8 more right and it didn't make a damn bit of difference!
How can the same exact score have such a large spread?
I understand that some versions of the test might be slightly easier than others, but I assumed they balanced hard and easy questions so that each MCAT was essentially the same difficulty.
Now I am freaking the hell out because I have my MCAT on April 18th and I have another thing to worry over.
If I rock the test, walk out feeling like I destroyed every section, I may still get a crappy score!
Thank god that my 3.97 GPA will almost gurantee that I get in somewhere, even if its in Podonk Alabama State.
Thoughts?
