I've been around long enough to notice that there's enough negative energy on this forum to fuel more than a few buses!

So, let's make this thread is a place to announce and celebrate each others' little victories as we prepare for the MCAT.

Finished the PS section for the first time?

Aced a section, any section?

Finally raised your verbal score?

Celebrate here! :luck: to everyone.
 
I suppose I'll start...I scored my personal best on VR this weekend. I'm not a native speaker, so I'm thrilled 🙂
 
i scored 38 on a practice test!!! (untimed:meanie: )
Nice!

I got the same on the CBT10 the day before I took the MCAT and it made me feel invincible - best confidence boost ever. Of course it was an aberration compared to my previous scores and I didn't feel nearly the same after the real thing, but boy do I remember feeling like the acceptances were already in the mail after getting that 38.
 
I took one last VR section today before I go on study hiatus (to recover from severe fatigue before May 11th), and hit a 14 (AAMC CBT 7). :hardy:
45 here I come!!!

haha, I also got mine on cbt10... you're right though - I don't care if its a fake 38... I own it! :laugh:

Definitely taking the CBT 10 then.

I got a 12 on the BS section of a GS test the other day... that made me feel special.
 
I'm taking the real thing on Friday and I got a 36 on CBT 9 today. I was feeling great! Then I took an older Kaplan test and didn't do neaarrrly as well. Please tell me the real deal is similar to these CBTs!!
 
I did not skip the writing section for the first time today. I finally got down to doing it...YAY!
 
Are the AAMC practice CBTs easier than the real stuff?

I just took AAMC CBT3 and got a 38.

I took the 3R before they came out with the CBT 3, and I got a huge verbal score. However, I got the exact same score on the CBT 3 as I did on the CBT 10, which is the most recent. I'll let you know in a month how that compares to my actual score.
 
i got a personal high score of 36 on CBT 8... and FINALLY broke a 10 on physical sciences (12) and a 13 on verbal 😀 sure beats my real 29.

fantastic!! i'm in the middle of aamc 5, and i hope to get a 13 on verbal as well... good luck on the real thing, whenever it is!
 
I finally started practice problems... which is a big step for me, yep. Me = Ex-procrastinator :laugh:
 
Bumping for july folks. :luck:

Know how it feels to finish a practice test in an empty room, break a personal record and have no one around to share your non-self-calling, self confidence boosting jubilation? Post here to celebrate!
 
I got a personal high today... 33 🙂

AAMC 9 PS 12/VR 11/BS 10


Unfortunately my Bio score has become stagnant. I was thinking about buying EK bio 1001. Any input?
 
Kaplan 7

10 PS 10 VR 12 B 32

I am pretty excited since I got 7 PS 6 VR 7 B 22, on the real thing in April.
But I am hesitant to trust the Kaplan scoring.
 
12 VR, 12 BS, 12 PS on 3R

Just did a 12 PS on 4, finished 15 minutes early though. I looked back at the questions I missed, though, and if I had taken time to pace myself through some of the problems, I would have gotten a 13, but only when I get a real 13 will I celebrate.

About to go through a VR. If I get a 13 or better, I will be <3
 
Nice work on the verbal. what is 1st FL and 2nd FL? Kaplan?
 
30 (12-9-9) on aamc 5R 😀 i havent started studying yet... or more accurately, ive so far reviewed up through kinematics and force for physics 😛 i hope itll go up with some studying and practices! this was about a week after taking 3R, thinking that'd be a good diagnostic, getting a 8-8-8 = 24, and finding out it's not really an accurate reflection, so taking 5R since i wanted to procrastinate on the actual studying part =0
 
So i recently took cbt7 and told myself that if i got at least an 11-10-11 then Id move up my test date from Aug 20 to July 13. Ive already been studying since mid april and my brain is about to explode. I managed to get an 11-10-12 and made the date switch. I just went over the exam however, and noticed that 3 questions on the BS were unanswered, although i clearly remember what answer i chose for them. Same with one question on the verbal section. The cost of using crappy library computers, i guess. I am extremely pleased however because after making these "adjustments" my new score is an 11-11-14. I nearly had a heart attack when i saw this score. the highest id ever scored before was a 33. I was nervous about taking the July 13th, but now i feel more ready than ever. lets just hope my dreams arent shattered by cbt8 and 9 in the next coming weeks.:laugh:
