This just feels like question after question that I got wrong. And I was getting 12's on the AAMC practice tests! I really don't know what to do, as I can already count 10 that I got wrong!

Don't worry about it...when I was taking the practice tests me and my roommate would totally agree on questions before checking the answer and end up getting it wrong...a lot of the questions on the MCAT are designed to "trick" a majority of the people...it is something subtle you dont see in the passage or question...but if a lot of people agree on a similar answer for a really really tough question than there is a chance that the answer might be wrong...i dunno...you never know with this thing...

Does anyone know to what extent they include experimentals? In other words, how many of the questions on each section will be discarded?

And how terrible does it look to medical schools when individuals retest?

i took the mcat form AG last aug but i'm curious to know why u thought BS was ridiculous - ie, if its 4 the same reasons ppl that took it when i did thought so...i'm just wondering if the mcat BS is changing and whether a new trend is afoot. last aug, ppl were really upset with the BS section on form AG b/c there was hardly any orgo and it was heavy on mol bio/genetics/immuno and hardly any physio (Qs on the systems of the body). most of the questions were passages on experimental stuff and understanding it which wasn't bad 4 me since i'm a researcher but i remember alot of grumbling from other ppl i knew. i'm just wondering if the AAMC r changing the BS section so that ppl have questions asking if they understand the critical aspects of scientific experiments - like we had questions basically asking what the controls in an experiment were, etc and if u're not a researcher, this can be hard when u've spent the better half of the day already on other passages, r brain fried, and have a time limit to understand the passage

I am just wondering how many of the questions were thrown out. How many were considered experimental, and to what extent was the number of questions that you got wrong consistent with the grading schemes posted for the AAMC practice tests?

Organic's usually the high point for me (missing only 1-3 questions), but I feel like it sucked big time yesterday.

If it makes you feel better, I have gotten no less than a 99 on all of my orgo exams at BU, and I had no clue what the heck they were talking about within much of one of the passages

Oh God! That's what happens under stress! I am so upset, realizing that there are way too many questions that I answered incorrectly for very dumb reasons, mostly because I wasted so much time trying to understand the experiments!
