Incorrect AAMC Practice Scores!

[vegan1]

I just finished AAMC test 8 and they completely messed up the scoring. I nearly had a heart attack when the score report told me that I got a 7 (25/40 right) on VR, but when I counted myself I actually got 31/40 right. I'm going to have to go through and rescore all my past tests now. Has this happened to anybody else?

Very interesting, the only score error I'm aware of is one question on AAMC 10 marked incorrectly.

I assume you're taking this on the AAMC site, so my only guess is some of the answers didn't go through???

There have been 3 times on 3 different AAMC tests where I got a significantly lower score than avg on a section, and when I went back to recheck, my answers were different from the answers I originally selected. On some of those questions I eliminated all BUT one answer and remembered selecting the one that was left, but when I reviewed the test, w/e answer choice I remember selecting got changed to some answer choice I had eliminated, so I would get that question wrong..it was pretty weird and it happened multiple times

Not really sure if this is the error you're talking about, or if the scoring problem you mentioned is that the AAMC test made a mistake when it was counting up your incorrect answer choices. But I know the AAMC tests do have some glitches (like with the 'estimated amount of time spent per question' column)

ya know, on AAMC 4 there's a question where increasing capacitor distance somehow decreases the electric field inside of it. *shrug*

Sorry! I just checked it out.

Seems like somebody needs some more content review.

umm isnt E= V/d? when you increase d, E decreases?

those careless mistakes however, are killing my score; I really need to concentrate better

They actually counted up the number of wrong answer choices incorrectly. They told me I got 6 more questions wrong than I actually did. That's interesting though that your answer choices seem to have changed. That has never happened to me.

That happened to me on two questions in the BS on AAMC 4. I had marked through all of the wrong answers and selected the right, but when I went back, the wrong bubble was selected. The system was saying that I selected one of the marked through answers.
