Not really. A lot of people are still gone on APEX. Everyone I've talked to who is here in Boston passed. People are a bit uptight about actual scores, though. I'm more than happy with my score, especially with my half-assed studying (not that I didn't study quite a bit, but it was mostly in the last 2 weeks before the exam, and I only put in about 5 hrs a day instead of the 10 I had imagined myself to put in). Got a 91. Not great, but not embarrassing, either. Did the worst in the anatomy/histology section: 88, best on dental anatomy: 95.
