Great idea for a poll. I'm curious too.

How did you do einkec?

I thought i had gotten a 15 to be honest, but I actually got a 25.. I was getting 26-30 on my pratice test (AAMC), dont know what happend...So I just took it the 20th of august and it turned out to be five times harder than my first one, go figure 🙁

Where is the "I got what I thought I would get" option?

 

[einkec]

I forgot that option...dont know if I can fix it


sorry to all

Or the 'I thought I did bad...and I did'

 

[einkec]

its there, i thought i did horrible and stayed there is pretty close to i thought i did bad and did-similar

 

[koojo]

Ahh you are correct.

For me, it was different among sections. With BS and VR, I felt horrible, I seriously didn't expect more than a 9, but got 10s. With PS, I felt pretty good, but expected an 11 at the most - I never had more than a 10 on practice tests - and got a 12. With WS, I thought I did great, and got a T.

a T? isn't that the highst possible? What's your secret?

Follow the directions? Really, its a subjective section of the exam and I feel that they mainly grade you on how well you follow directions (which includes making valid arguments of course)

Well, you can follow directions on the Writing Sample but still only get an N. I was informed that if you follow the directions the lowest you can get graded is a 3 out of 6. If you were awarded a 3 on both essays, that translates to an N.

hey unless your planning on going to Canada an N or O is perfectly fine. So its comforting to know that unless I completely mess up I wont end up with a J or K!!

You're never going to get objective results on this one. People who did better than they thought are much more likely to respond.

 

[meowkat444]

yeah, but selection bias is rampant on this whole board!
