In accordance with the requests for a particular format, here's my stuff again.
How did I think I did after the test?
-I didn't think the test was particularly more difficult than any practice exam, other than a bit more organic than anticipated. Over time, like everyone, I started to doubt how I did. However, this is normal and I think regardless of the outcome, we all feel crappy after 30 days of waiting.
Practice avgs?
-Including the first one of a 28, I avg about a 33. However, the 28 was the only time I scored below a 30. My last two were 36 and 35. In case it's helpful, I STARTED with AAMC 10 for absolutely no reason at all, not realizing I should have saved this for later as it is considered harder. I really believe that while some are easier than others, it also seems easier as you practice since you're practicing.
I only guessed on ONE answer, and it was an educated guess. I was running out of time and needed to make a choice. I made the wrong choice.
Actual score: 10, 10, R 10
Comp: 30R
I hadn't scored less than 12 on VR in any practice except one. I didn't think this one was hard, but I guess I was wrong. I hadn't scored less than 12 on BS except for one, and I don't know what the HELL happened. I had scored 9s three times in a row for PS before studying PS hardcore for three days and then scoring 12s on my last two (bumped me from about 33 and 34 to 36 and 35). Again, I didn't think it was hard, but I ended up two points lower than expected.
All in all, though I was worried and knew I may have not done well, possibly even gotten a 26 or something, I figured that was just my waiting and anxiety talking. Deep down, I really believed I had scored a 33-36.
I'm not trying to scare anyone, and I'm pissed that I'm in that smaller percentage of people that did worse on the real than on the practice, but here I am.
On a happier note, I have been really happy to share this wait with you all! We've all been wonderfully mental during this process and waiting. I know we'll be sharing wonderful, wonderful news of acceptances and hope the best for every one. some of us may end up in deserts studying medicine with rattlesnakes, lizards, and tumbleweeds, but we'll get in medical school nonetheless!!!
PEACE!
