Do I need to enter my MCAT test date? Shows as "additional MCAT"

Hi all.,
I took the MCAT on July 27. My application has been submitted and verified. However, when I click "Print Application", on the application it shows my scores from July 27. Then it says below "Addl 2012 MCAT Intent Date: 07/27/2012" (even though right above it it shows my scores from that date) When filling out my application it says the following:

" Medical schools need to discern whether or not MCAT scores from calendar year 2012 should be expected in support of your application.

Click yes to include upcoming or recently taken MCAT exam dates"

I clicked yes, since the question seems to be asking whether or not I had an MCAT score coming (which I did at the time) . Now I'm thinking that this is a question asking whether or not ADDITIONAL MCAT scores are coming... So should I answer "No" to this question?
Thank you!

You said your application has been submitted and verified, so how could you even change this at this point? If you can change it, go ahead and remove the "additional intended" MCAT as your scores are already on your application, so you don't have an additional upcoming test.

I'm pretty sure adcoms are smart enough to figure this out.

It's fine. Mine says that too. AMCAS doesn't change the verified primary. But it sends your new scores to the schools you designated with the label "updated scores" It takes like two or three days or so to send the scores. They use trains for that

Well if they have some computer program that sorts the applications, I don't want them to not look at my app because they think I still have a score coming up.
