This question is for anyone that took the January MCAT and decided to void or retake the test. I took the test on January 30 and I think that the consensus was that the January MCAT was very difficult. Many people voided and rescheduled for another month. What did you guys think the difficulty of the retake was compared to the January MCAT? I'm hoping that you guys found it somewhat easier because I'm retaking it in June and I'm really hoping that it won't be as difficult as the January test.

There is no way anyone can know how difficult the June MCAT will be for you; however, the curve will normalize scores. The best thing you can do is analyze what went wrong last time and fix your weaknesses. Also, make sure you're using NEW practice material and FLs.
 
I agree with the post above.
However, the January mcat was particularly difficult in the PS section. I retook the test today, and the PS section this time was SOO much easier, but I thought VR was harder than the jan mcat, so i voided this time. The only reason I was retaking it was to improve a 9 on my VR, but that was definitely not going to work out.
