Seek psychiatric help. 4 days is well above the std for neuroticism.

You are not defined by a test. The person you are today is the same as the person five days ago. Deep breath and see what you've got.
Think about a patient getting the results from a serious blood test...
You have nothing to worry about in the long run... If your test doesn't turn out the way you want, you still have options.
Eh, I guess my std's are just higher than yours. I have more std's than anyone I know.
Mine come out this coming tuesday...I am terrified as well. Just thinking about opening the scores...:/ but really, just do it. U never know.
If you're that nervous about opening your MCAT score, opening your USMLE score report is 10x worse 😛
Just take a deep breath and do it, like ripping off a bandaid. Or have a friend/family member do it for you (opening the score report, not the bandaid ripping thing)

I gave my friend my login and made him print out a copy of it because I was in the middle of something and couldn't check myself.
This. My hands were trembling on Wednesday when I opened mine. Didn't do too badly and I realized I was just fearing the unknown which was already determined 6 weeks ago when I took my test. Further worrying wouldn't have changed anything.
At least with the MCAT you can take it multiple times. Step 1 ... if you pass, no matter how low the score is, you can't retake it.

this exactly..
at this point, your score is your score. Better to just go ahead and find out what it is so you can act accordingly.
Get drunk as **** and do it.
I guess you could apply to medical schools without ever seeing your actual score. It's like blink poker, you don't know what kind of hand you have but you keep playing the game anyway.
Facts.
Anyways, if you really didn't do well, I'm sorry to hear that. There's a handful of other options available to you. Retakes are possible and you should invest in a new, more proven study strategy. Otherwise, there are other grad schools possible, etc, etc.
But then when you wake up the next morning, you won't remember what you got and the cycle will begin anew.
That's the beauty, it's like Groundhog Day
you probably got a 30 or better which is nothing to complain about. you can only really complain if you get less than a 30

Doesn't the score come online now?
because this is sdn, where anything <35 is a bad score and everyone gets a 35+.
Even from a statistical standpoint that is impossible, for nearly everyone making a 35 or >. Ridiculous.
Anything is possible on SDN. I know one guy who took the MCAT while heavily drunk and scored a 43
Just showing anything is possible beyond stats
anything is possible is not the same as everyone gets over 35 lol
It does, but you get an email around 11am telling you that the score report is available, then you have to go to the NBME site and download the score report. It only took a few seconds for my phone to download the document, but it felt like minutes. Then I saw "PASS" and was able to breathe again
My point is he's likely the exception more than the rule.
That shichibukai avatar.
I mean you can't claim it's statistically impossible for everyone to get a 35 or higher

...well in reality, we know that's not what is happening.
Yes, I can claim accurately that it's statistically impossible for EVERYONE to get a 35 or higher.
So we can't claim an absolute. Even 0.01% isn't a 0. Bam! What now?
yeah not debating statistics with you. But I can say with 100% confidence that not everyone on SDN got a 35+
