just out of genuine curiosity
I would assume there there has been people who have done that I mean there are people who get perfect scores on other standardized exams. I dont personally know anyone though Ive heard of people who scored 41 and 42.just out of genuine curiosity
did they change the scale back then to? Or was it always out of 45?I heard back in the days, the MCAT was much easier. It was just a set of multiple choice questions that asked about factual stuff, nothing like the passages we get here nowadays. So I think it was very possible to get a 45 back then (kind of like getting a 1600 today). Then they revamped it and it became harder to get a perfect score on the MCAT. For a while, they refused to give anyone higher than a 43 b/c they would always give the verbal score of "13-15" instead of a 14 or 15. Now, they have gone back to the old way of giving full scores to verbal and so I think it's possible that once in a blue moon, someone gets a full score on the MCAT. I just don't know anyone personally, nor have I heard of anyone who knew anyone....
I never saw the score, but I do know a former MCAT instructor who also scored a 45- rumor was he scored 43 the first time too. He confirmed this to me, but again, i never saw- or asked to see the proof- He was by FAR one of the smartest ppl I know. He goes to the most famous med school there is now.... ???????
Hold on. So this guy took the MCAT, scored a 43, and retook it in order to get his 45???
My MCAT teacher said there is a 45 every 3 or so years.

well it's impossible to get a 0, 1, or a 2 because the lowest you could get in a section is 1.Man, all Princeton Teachers say crap like that. 'I took it for fun, and broke 43 easy. I don't want to go to medical school, teaching for this company is my life!'
I was under the impression that because the test is curved, and no one can make a 0 on a section, or really a 1 for that matter, that there is no statistically possible way of getting a 45.
I had also heard that AMCAS had never given a score of a 45.

there is a princeton review teacher in san diego who apparently tok it for fun and now has a 44t
and he doesnt want to go to med school
also, I heard he is kind of a d*ck, but i cannot confirm this
Some of my previous tpr teachers were "naturally talented" as well....and those that were not "naturally talented" were totally down-to-earth and learned individuals. The "gifted" teacher was not very good at conveying basic g.chem concepts to the class though. At the end of the course, he told us that he was not certain if he wanted to go to med. school (his last MCAT score was almost expired), and that he would like to take the CBT for fun I hope to say that one day in my application for TPR.Man, all Princeton Teachers say crap like that.

Does that account for leap years?
a leap year just means the year has 1 more day... what does that have to do with every 3 years?
Why do people keep saying it's "impossible" to get a 45? The only hard part would be the verbal section, since you would need to get every single question right for a 15. For the PS and BS sections, you could get a handful wrong in each and still get a 15. A 45 is completely possible now that a perfect score on verbal is always 15. It's just a question of how frequently it happens.
