Did any of you ever have your MCAT rescored in any way? And what came of the rescoring? Did you consider it to be beneficial?

Code Brown said:Yes. I had my writing sample re-scored and it went up. It took them 4 months to do it though. In the end it made no difference anyway.
MedNut said:I had it rescored for peace of mind. No difference though. However, I also know someone who misbubbled and went up like 5 points. Just do it so you don't always have to wonder about it.

SearsTower said:Crap, I just made my mind up about not pursuing that regrade nonsense, now I'm back on that path leading to nowhere! What do you mean they misbubbled, as in putting C's instead of B's?
If you are implying that the MCAT regrader saw that his answers were shifted and shifted them down and rescored is completely wrong. They do not take this into account when regrading and is clearly stated.MedNut said:I believe he went from a 25 to 29, not sure of the breakdown. By misbubbling I mean he skipped a line halfway through the test and all his answers were shifted up which he did not realize until 1 minute before the end of the test. I have never heard of anyone going DOWN any points. That would really be unlikely. ANyway, I still say do it. What's $50 if it means a possibility in gaining even one point. You neva know.

That would really be unlikely.but dental gal showed some posts where ppl did go down or are those all urban legends. has anyone on this forum gotten a regrade and went up? in writing or multiple choice; and has anyone on the forum had a decrease in score after the regrade. please speak up. these friend of friend stories might not be as accurate as actual personal experiences. your personal experience will be much appreciated by all those who wish to get a regrade and are scared of doing so because of these urban legends that scores go down when you get the mcat regraded.
thanks
