I think that I may have accidentally bubbled in my social security # wrong of my PS test. I know this sounds stupid but I have a 0 in my ss# and typically on the bubble sheets at my school the 0 is always at the top of the row of numbers, but on the mcat is was at the bottom. Therefore, i think i bubbled in a 0 as a 1, out of habit. I caught myself doing this on the VR section so i assume i actually did it on the PS section and just didnt notice. Anyone think this will cause any problems or will they likely just discover it and compare it to my other tests and correct it. I would think this is something that happens fairly often. Any ideas?

I don't know what will happen, but I was also thrown off. I almost didn't bubble anything in for the 0 until i saw it at the bottom.

Haha- I had the same paranoid thought so I emailed aamc, and they said they will catch any errors and it won't effect our scores. I'm guessing they'll just go by the name if there are errors in the SSN. No worries.

Oh man, I did the exact same thing! And, I thought that I was the only idiot around...

haha, my birthday is in may (05) and I got the verbal section and didn't know the 0 was at the bottom. So I am assuming that I didn't bubble in my birthday at all on the physical sciences section because I don't remember doing it... either that or I did bubble it in, but I was so nervous that I was just in a trance. I figured they get mess ups all the time.

I did the same thing, for PS and VR. I bubbled in 1 instead of 0 for my birthday. (Anyone know what the 16th month is?)

Later I realized that zero was at the bottom and told the proctor. He said it wouldn’t be a problem but that he’d look at it and fix it.

Then I thought: what if he’s really mean and changes my answers! I think I was entitled to a little paranoia after 8 hours of hell.

Ha! Halfway through my classes yesterday, I got it in my head that I had misbubbled the 0s in my SSN. I freaked out and called my parents in desperation, who told me I should stop worrying. Good to know that I'm not the only one.

Now, I just have to hope I didn't misbubble any real answers. (Definitely caught myself doing that once on the BS, but hopefully that's just because I was tired by that time.)

i forgot to put the date next to my signature on the front side of the PS section answer sheet. i'm sure it's not a big deal. everyone's nervous and ppl are bound to make silly mistakes...that's why they have you write ALL your information on EVERY sheet.
