MCAT Nightmares

As the final doomsday arrives, I find myself subconsciously focusing on the MCAT. Why can't they release the scores already?!!!! Last night I had this bizarre dream/nightmare in which I was flipping out over my MCAT score. I remember revealing the score slowly, section by section. I had gotten an 8 in the PS section, and I was very disappointed in that one, because I had worked so hard to bring it up. The other two sections were 12's, but I imagined that my total score was a 30 (even though that makes no sense - I guess I can't add in my sleep!). Anyway, apparently I was worried that I'd have to retake because of the 8 in the PS section, because I remember being very upset and freaking out about what to do. Anyone else have some MCAT nightmares they'd like to share? 😀

That's so funny because 2 nights ago I had a nightmare that I was sitting for the MCAT & the test started with the bio section 1st & I only answered 9 questions in an hour & a half. Plus I filled in my answers with pen so the 9 questions I did answer didn't count! How stupid!! I'm glad I'm not the only one having nightmares, hope it won't be like this for the next 2 months until I take the test!!!!!!

LOL, I just want my scores, for better or for worse...I'm tired of the wait!!!

I had constant nightmares during the fall semester, because I felt like I should be studying but couldn't because I was trying to keep up with my 3rd semester of Physics for Engineers, Biochem, and Vertebrate Physiology. Although I had anxiety after that semester ended and I started studying (mostly from the feeling that I wasn't studying hard enough), nothing compared to the anxiety and nightmares I had during that semester.

OMG, yesterday i had a dream that i got 10 PS, 9 BS, and 7 verbal, and in my dream i added it all up to be 17 , but then knew that was wrong and vaguely felt that it was in the twenties...i woke up today afraid to share my dream lest it come true. But my mom said it's ok...she knows i did much better... PHEW...thank God for moms!

LOL, I know, seriously! My mom dreamt that I got a 40 on the MCAT and that in the dream, I was crying over "how low" that score was...that's how you know it was all a dream!!!

With all the chaos about scores being posted this week or next or someday after hell freezes over, I finally had my MCAT nightmare last night...scores came in, and I got a 14 in Verbal (I won't complain about that), and a 1.1 in one section, and a 4.3 in the other. Don't remember which was which, but that was painful. Yet, somehow my overall score was a 38. I woke up scared, confused, and alone. Then I ate some Apple Jacks.

Ah, nothing like some tasty morning cereal to get over the subconscious manifestations of your paranoia and distress over the MCAT...

 

[ms2209]

This morning I was having panic attacks as I lay in bed...I kept thinking, what if my scores are subpar, what am I going to do...and then I checked and no scores! The agony of it all...🙁

So I had another horrible nightmare last night, but it wasn't directly related to the MCAT. In my dream, I was talking to my pre-med advisor because I had just found out that one of the classes I had taken the prior semester had not counted for credit because it had been cancelled (I know, it makes no sense, but stay with me here 🙂). I asked the pre-med dean what I could do, and if I could possibly take the class over the summer instead (without that class, I would've been a part-time student) and she said no, that there's nothing I could do to remedy the situation. I started crying and asked her if I could still go to medical school, and she paused, sighed, and said "No, not really, there's no chance." Suddenly, I snapped awake...but the dream felt so real that my heart was racing a mile a minute. Ughh...I need my MCAT scores, this is killing me!!!

I don't understand why are you calling your 1st dream a nightmare, 8,12,12 isn't bad at all, even with you thinking it was a 30, it's still pretty good, I think most people would be pleased with a dream like that.

Well, the reason I thought of it as a nightmare was that in the dream, I thought I would have to take them over again because of the 8 in the PS section, not because the overall score was "bad".

I dreamed last night that my average score over the three sections was 18, and I was really excited, until I realized that it meant that I got a 54....

I need some more of these---> 😴 😴 😴

and less of these---> 😱 😱 😱

I know, seriously...I need more sleep. Although, this morning, I would've gotten more sleep if my cat hadn't woken me up 😡 (and tonight I won't be getting ANY sleep)

just took an afternoon nap...had the worst nightmare:

I was at school and the scores were announced over the PA system...they read out my name they said i got a 20...the announcer also said that we could appeal our scores

🙁

I had a dream that I was walking in the park and the mcat jumped out of the bush and started rapping me... I got rapped by the mcat!!....oh wait a minute, it wasn't a dream *look of disgust*

I've been having MCAT nightmares since april 17.........but usually once every 2 weeks. Last night I had 4 in a row with different scores each time.

Well after surviving almost two months without thinking much about the MCAT at all, I finally had a nightmare just less than 24 hours before the results (supposedly) are posted. I dreamt I was at home reading the results from the mail and as my eyes scanned down the page I saw ps12 bs12 vr 2. I then proceeded to piece together the longest known string of explitives ever while at the same time punching holes in the walls of my parents brand new house.

Then I woke up.......THANK GOD. I was sweating my a$$ off and I was late for class....stupid damn mcat.

 

[sportschick]

I definitely had a dream where i got a 13, a 13 (im thinking, not bad, this could work) and then look at the third score and it was a -5... i got all confused, thinking how did i get a negative number!! had myself all convinced id have to take again in august before i woke up... 👎

I'm supposed to be taking my MCATS the first time this Friday And did I have the scariest nightmare ever??? I had this horrible dream that I was late to the test and had to climb up 11 flights of stairs. The test room didn't have any computers, just long tables tables that people were sitting on. And all the students looked really mature, like 25+ (I'm only 19 >.<) The guy next to me asked how long I've been studying and I was like uhhh about a month and a half? And the guy was like WHAAAAA?? NO WAYYY, I've been studying for half a year or so. Are you sure you're ready?? And I'm like uhh I guess ^^; The girl on my other side was like, stop making her feel uncomfortable. You're distracting my focus!

Then the teacher gave out exams, except they were in written packets!! He laid them all out and we had to GRAB AN EXAM!! And the thing is, THEY WERE ALL DIFFERENT!!!!!!! So it was like choosing a lottery for an easy exam. When I opened mine, it was all random physics free response that I had no idea what it was saying... Like one of the questions was: "What is the frequency measured of a ball impacting the ground at an angle of 60?" 😱 And even worse, the guy next to me was SPEEEDING THROUGH HIS TEST LIKE MONSTER. I was like skipping everything and I kept hearing his page turning... 🙁 I sincerely hope that something like this does not actually happen...

LOL!!!

Thank you OP!!! I really needed to read this thread, because I thought I was the only one freaking out. I had a nightmare that I did really well but when I got my score it was for the GRE. Glad to see we're all freaking out together. Not only misery loves company but so do neuroses.

I've had at least 4 dreams within the past 2 months that I've gotten over a 40 on the MCAT....I still haven't even taken the dang thing. Hopefully those dreams come true.

How do you guys manage to dig up these ancient threads?

Ohman, I didn't even notice the date before hahahaah.

Even though I've finished my MCAT (7/6), I feel like I dream about it every night....and the dreams are just like yours! Everyone else has dismal nightmares of 18's while I dream of 42's, even though this will never happen.

BTW, I wouldn't try to study a few days before the exam. I rented some awesome movies to watch the day before and lightly reviewed. But, I have yet to receive my scores, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Lol, I woke up in a cold sweat and googled "MCAT nightmares" to see if anyone else was suffering as much as I did 😛 It sure helped to know I wasn't the only one, and I'm glad it's helping you guys too!
