August 2006 MCATers

[Hardbody]

So how did everyone think they did on the MCAT today?

I took form BT and I thought PS was definitely geared toward what I studied for. The VR was a load of ****, but when I got forms like that I usually scored well (some of the practice AAMC VRs I felt the same way about). BS was pretty much standard, lots of physiology (lucky for me the only upper level bio class I have taken).

I think I definitely scored within my practice range somewhere, but that is just my experience and obviously won't know for two stinkin months. What was your experience like?

i usually breeze through verbal..i got through passage 5 with 48 minutes left, then got swamped.. i only had 6 minutes to do my last passage, so i think that may have brought me down out of the teens for verbal. other than that, the ps wasnt horrible, wasnt easy...somewhere in between..bio wasnt bad..i had 2 orgo passages that i liked a lot, and a lot of expirements..don't know what form i had because i took the CBT test. my practice tests all broke down in a 12-13 VR / 8 PS / 8-9 BS manner, and im predicting a composite of 27 for this test...which is probably an improvement from my 23 in april..

WOW, your a monster on the verbal. That is my weakness.

The science sections seemed to alternate between really easy questions and stuff that was so far out there I had no clue. It seemed to me like the PS section wasn't really HARD, but the questions were really hard to understand for some reason. VR was dense. Usually VR has 1 or 2 really dense passages that you fight to follow along, where this one seemed to have 4 or 5 of 'em. I'm hoping my score is along my best practice or a little better, but we shall see. Mine was form BH.

I had the same test as you. I ended up timing out and bubbled "B"s for the last passage. Looking at it, it seemed like I would have done better on that passage than the previous passages. I have the same feeling for PS. I have taken 4 practice AAMC exams and have never gotten below 10 on PS and 11 on BS. I feel confident that I did well on BS...but verbal and maybe PS is another story. Best of luck!!

Guys, if you applied already (AACOMAS verified)...How will you be updating schools when your score comes in? Email them with the verifcation code? Seems like going through AACOMAS is the much slower route...

My app. has not been verified yet, I am guessing within the next week and a half. You have to go onto the AAMC website to have your MCAT score sent to AACOMAS, then AACOMAS sends an update to the schools you have applied to. Don't quote me on this, but I believe I remember Huntergather stating that he faxed his unofficial score to some schools to speed things up. I am not sure what schools (if any) will allow you to send your unofficial scores in, but I am sure the issue will be tackled on SDN when the time comes.

Felt exactly the same way about verbal, which threw off my timing and messed with my head. suks but what can u do except hope for the best

No kidding VERBAL was AWFUL!!!!... PS was good and was Bio... I freaked out during the last five minutes because half of my bio wasn't bubbled in although marked in the book and for some reason they weren't lineing up correctly. My heart started raising I seriously almost peed in my pants. I luckily figured it out and but then one second before they called time I noticed that one of my answers that I answered correctly in the book was not bubbled in correctly (and I know I answered it correctly in the book) I am just afraid how many more are like that and if that one point was the difference between a 9 and a 10 or an 11. Oh well!!! It is over now... I hope I at least got a 24. That would be amazing!!!! I never want to take the MCATs again!

I think that I had EC version. Of course VR was hard and I didn't finish the last 2 passages. Darn, they looked easier too. Messed up there by spending too much time on the hard ones. Didn't feel too good either about PS and had studied more for it than anything else. Felt pretty good however about BS as it is my forte.

This was my third time with 25-O,6VR,7ps,12bs, and a 26-O,7VR, 8PS, 11BS. Tried something diferent on writing sample. We'll see.
Overall I felt about the same on this one.
will take it again in Jan...I'll get a 30 or die trying!!!
