I figured since it seems there is a thread for all the other recent and upcoming test dates, I'd start one for us 5/19ers.

Two weeks to go, getting close.

I am going to do the same thing. Thanks god, I have a busy day tomorrow and I won't check my score at my lab (lol I don't know what might happen to me) but before I check my score once I am back home, I will for sure check this thread and see how everyone did. So please post your scores!!!

There needs to be a theme song that you guys can all play as you open up the results online tomorrow.

Does anyone know what time the scores are usually released? I am super obsessive and will be checking all day...it would be great to have an idea on what to expect!

I sort of understand though. The only ppl I ever see posting scores on here are in the 30s, many being 35+ (Which fall into like the 90th percentile or something). It can be a little intimidating. I personally expect to get in the high 20s.

I have been shuddering for last 2 days at the prospect of a certain doom -- similar to when a criminal is nervously awaiting his sentence with the evidence piling against him.
By miracle if I do come out unscathed, I will be incredulous...

12-12:30 PM for me on the west coast! Less than 12 hours left...

I'm working tomorrow at 7 AM and I can't fall asleep. I'm also wondering how I'm going to manage being drunk while checking my scores and being at work, all at the same time.

Good luck everyone!!!! I was a 4/12er and thought the exam was rough.... especially BS. Last week I ended up with a 35 (exactly my AAMC average and 1 point different from AAMC 11 section for section). Don't be too nervous, you probably did great. a few hours from now you all be be out celebrating. Enjoy that feeling.

I am going to take lunch a bit late (usually at 11) and go home and check my entire lunch break. If it doesn't show up by then, I am considering giving my hubby my log in and calling him every 20min asking him to check....

Don't freak out. If you're really passionate about becoming a doctor a bad score won't stop you. It's just another hurdle, like step 1 and 2 will be down the road.

We all probably did great, especially if you took practice tests.

I will be doing a science experiment all day so hopefully that helps cope with the anxiety haha. I will be checking the forum though for scores before I look, thats for sure.

31P 12 -PS 10-V 09-BS

I thought my Verbal would be an 11 and my BS would be a 10. Did not expect a 12 from PS

Ughh wanted a 32 but I guess I cant complain.

considering i was diagnosed with MS in march, when i began studying, a 27 isn't that bad, but it's not what i wanted. you guys think i can raise my VR from 6 to 9-10 in about a month?

Depends. Were your AAMC tests higher around 9-10? If so, it's very possible.

Good luck!

VR: 11, PS: 12, WS: Q, BS: 10, Total: 33Q

I'm an average amount of happy. Hoping for a higher score but decent enough to not have to retake. Time to sell all those books!!!! I have about 24 MCAT books, no kidding. TBR, TPR, Kaplan, EK and AAMC. What a crazy year this has been...

Good luck to everyone. To quote a famous pot-smoking rastafarian with a beautiful voice and a kind soul: "Everything's gonna be alright." 😎

So I guess I can make fun of the MCAT and still do okay in essays. Seriously, I had a blast with the essays talking about how inane things were and writing all sorts of ridiculous commentary. Talking directly to the reader, etc.

.Can't paste the image here for whatever reason but.

My tests actually ranged from 6-9, with a lot of them being 7's and 8's. i used the kaplan strategy at first when i started studying, but then like mid way through i discovered this site and agreed with most of the people that kaplan's strategy is pretty bad.. so i invented a new strategy which was to pick the answer that i thought was most explicitly stated in the passage lol

i just bought the EK101 book because i read that it's the best. i have plenty of free time over the next month so i plan on doing a lot of this and prob end up taking the test again early august before the semester starts back up

Oh and was anyone else surprised that you couldn't click somewhere on your score report to find out what answers you got wrong and why? 😀

Hey guys! goodmorning! nothing like waking up and finding out scores are posted.....that was a rush. Anyway, I hit my average of 28 (n=8) +- 2. Pretty pumped. I will be applying to my state MD and about 8 DO schools. Good job guys!

10 VR 11 BS 09 PS. 30Q total

I have a 3.8 cGPA and 3.77 sGPA with a lot of ECs and volunteering. I only studied for about a week and think I can definitely raise my PS. Should I retake?

I am extremely relieved (because I seriously thought I would get 33 or below) but at the same time not very happy (1-2 points higher would have made my day).

With GPA around 3.25 (albeit at a top institution) and having being faced acad. probation for not meeting units requirements -- and this also being a retake (my old was 30) -- I was aiming EXTREMELY high because I needed to. I am also Asian and california resident so those things are also against me...

I got a 36 (12-13-11). That BS really did turn out to be killer... I Know it may sound crazy, but I am considering a retake.... I don't think with these stats, I would have a shot at even at the lowest out-of-state medical schools (California schools are out of the question for sure).

BTW, this score is around 1-2 lower than my AAMC averages.
