The 8 in verbal could get him screened out (?).

I doubt it. An 8 is probably at a low range, but it shouldn't get him screened out. I know a couple people who scored 8's on VR and that didn't stop them from getting into schools such as Ohio State. While anecdotal, I would definitely tell the poster to talk to his pre-med advisor about this.

So will they email us with a score report or should I just keep randomly checking the website? Annoying...I took it Sept 7 and have been waiting patiently but still...

<------- california test taker checking in

YEAH!!!!

PS - 11
VR - 10
BS - 14
WS - S

35S - unreal!

I felt okay about everything, a bit nervous about the BS and good about the PS (actually expecting reversed scores between them).

congrats everyone - even if you didn't get the score you wanted, you took the test and that is difficult enough as it is...

ok i just got finsihed talkin to the aamc line, they told me that they are loading all the scores up as we speak and that we should just reload it every minute, and i was like, "well should i just call back in a few days if its not up" and he's all, "well no, they are loading the scores they will be up."

god i have so many bad things to say right now.

12 ps, 14 vr, 10 bs, Q (sept 8th)

i'm surprised with my ps...i was getting 13-14s on the aamc practice tests and didn't think the actual ps was hard. i knew i didn't do well on bs - that was always my lowest, and the 10 is pretty much the average i was getting.

what's a Q? is that ok?

anyway, i'm happy with my vr, but it's so late in the app cycle that i'll probably retake and wait til next cycle to apply. the 10 on bs is too low for the schools i want to get into. maybe i'll take some extra bio classes as some have suggested to improve my bs.

hope the scores come out soon for everyone else! and good luck with apps if you're applying this cycle! 🙂

They must have curved this thing up bigtime. I left at least 6 blank on the PS and another 5 blank on the BS and did way better than I would ever have imagined, all things considered. Still retaking of course, but this time I'm going to study physics, bio, and chem first. They seem kind of important.

that score is amazing! Unless you have been getting 14's and 15s on all your VR practice tests, that is an amazing score. I would not retake with a VR score like that.

Personally, I say there's no need to retake for you. Just talk to your pre-med advisor. A 36 is a extremely good score; just look at the percentile ranges on the score page if you haven't already. That's the important part.

you guys really all sound like your driving yourselves to become sick.. Dont worry!!! There is really no point in driving yourselves mad..
Look at it this way.. the test is over, theres not much you can do now about it, if you didn't score as well as you would have hoped, theres always next time. Remember, things happen for a reason, always keep your heads up! Best of luck to everyone..😀

I think you and I are the only ones on here with this attitude. I'm actually not planning on checking mine at all. Whatever happened happened...although it would be great to cheer and do a happy-dance if I scored well, the depressing state I might get into if I did bad is FAR less attractive, and FAR more motivating to keep my scores a secret until I absolutely have to check (hopefully due to interviews???!!!) As for now I'd rather just wait and see if I get more secondaries from those schools waiting on my scores. If they come, then I know I did something right...if not, then I probably did bad. No need to bring myself to a bad mood today and probably until the end of the week. I have way too many other things to focus on right now...

Hey im in the exact same boat, this was my third time as well, and I desperately need to bump my score up at LEAST 3 points. Im going for osteopathic, so i would be extremely happy with a 25. Best of luck to you, and everyone else!!
Click to expand...

That makes three of us! This is my third time taking it too...I felt better about it but as the past two times have shown me, what I feel and what I get never seem to coincide...I'm REALLY relying on the whole "third times a charm" concept...🙄

as far as I know the system for most US schools (AAMC) automatically sends them to whatever schools you applied to through their application...to clarify: AAMC provides us with one application which is then distributed to all the schools that you want to apply to (given that those schools are linked with AAMC...which most are). From there, they also take care of uploading and distributing your scores without you having to do any extra work. 🙂

PS 13
VR: 12
BS: 10
Writing :Q

Should I retake it to increase my BS score? Is a 10 in BS really low? I was getting 12-14 on my practice tests.
Also, what the hell is a Q? Is it good? bad?

well, that is just peachy!

I hope your MCAT went well! You have an incredible strength of mind to avoid looking at them.

Seeing as if the writing scale is from L to T, a Q is really good...closer to the letter T than the L, so you're in the higher end of the scale 😉 Btw, a 35 is an awesome score...retaking it will probably only bump you up one or two points...or even have you drop a lot depending on the exam you get, if you're going through a rough time/break-up...etc. You never know what life has in store for you in the future, but with a 35Q, it's looking promising for a med school acceptance! 😀 I wouldn't risk it...admissions people look down upon students that retake the exam with scores like that; (or so I've heard...)
