***Official April 2006 Score Release Countdown Thread***

[gujuDoc]

Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

In the continuing spirit of the tradition started last year, we will hold this as your official countdown til score release thread. You can use this as a countdown, but may also post in here general conversation if you are just going insane over this wait. Also, this may not be an exact of when the scores will come out, but we don't know how many days before the official 60 days are over they will come out. Last year, they came out around June 15th at 10pm. But this will give us a rough approximation.

Ok, let the fun begin.........

59 days and counting........

Lets pray for all of you and for my very best roommate, and two of my other bestest friends. 😀 May all come with good news in the following two months.

This is for the neurotic ones who just need somewhere to vent their frustration over the wait. 😛

Dont remember that questions at all..... diffierent forms have diff questions tho, right?

Yep, I had form BR, and it was on there and I think possibly other forms as well, but it's entirely possible that you never had that question (lucky bastard... haha)

When I logged on to SDN, the first thread name I saw was "retaking the MCAT with...". So, I went on the MCAT site to see if the scores were out. I was so nervous, my hands were shaking and I could fell my heart beat. to my surprise, the scores weren't there.

i did see some proof that the AAMC does update that site, though...there is a new link/description on the front page about the date that registration for the August computerized test will be open.

Yeah, and it's June 14th! Maybe it's an ominous sign...

 

[PBandJ]

that's what i thought when i first saw it!

June 14th is Flag Day in the US. It's also (and frankly, more importantly) my best friend's birthday.

I vote that it is a Patriotic Gesture.

 

[hope12]

When they will update “The Percentage and Scaled Score Tables for the 2005 administrations are available” for 2006 --- soon will be our score!!!!

June 14th is also the day I picked in the pool for MCAT score release. I saw somewhere that AMAS has staff meetings on Thursday afternoons, which would coincide nicely with the release of scores if they needed to go over protocol and procedures and stuff just prior. Just speculating here.

June 14th is a Wednesday...

😳 Ooooops. Oh well.

 

[hope12]

Today we should get our score by 8 pm west coast-today they have meeting!!! 🙂

 

[zimmie256]

Maybe that means that they'll at least post an update today or tomorrow about when scores will be out... At this point, I'll take any kind of disclosure from them...

 

[Haemulon]

By 8:00pm eh? Wow. Or they could just use the time today to plan out all the little teaser messages to be posted. 😀

They will update before they leave office-like last year

 

[SeminoleFan3]

So, are we expecting scores tonight or just some sort of update?

 

[Haemulon]

The AMCAS staff meetings are from 3:00 - 5:00 pm ET. Don't know if the AMCAS people are the same one's that handle MCAT uploading though, or if there is another group specifically for MCAT/THx (and whether or not they have the same meeting time?)

 

[girlsporty]

So depressing! I have not called but I confess: I emailed the MCAT people. THis is what they wrote back:

Thank You for contacting the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) program.


The April 2006 MCAT scores have yet to be posted. They will be available around the middle of June. The 60 day period will put you at the week of the 19th through the 23rd. The exact date will be posted on the web soon.


AAMC and the MCAT Program Office will use all available and reasonable means to mail scores by first-class mail to examinees approximately 60 days after each test date. Scores will be available in the Online Testing History system at that time.

Please let us know if you need any additional assistance.

my guess would be just some kind of indication of when they'll be released if even that...im sure they want to torture us for a few more days 😉

wishful thinking or inside knowledge?

DON'T TOY WITH MY SHATTERED NERVES!!!...Whew...sorry, I'm a little edgy here. 😉

 

[Haemulon]

Standard email message. I would not sweat it.

 

[EddieIndy]

It's not the MCAT ppl, it's the AAMC ppl, who don't know ****.

AMCAS has staff meetings on Thursdays from 3-5p ET. Thats all. Can see this on the AMCAS site under info for contacting them.

 

[EddieIndy]

Another ominous sign: As an official freak, besides the compulsive checking of the thx system, I also checked the scoring reports on this page:
http://www.aamc.org/students/mcat/examineedata/pubs.htm
For some reason when you click on any report right now, it shows nothing. Maybe they're uploading the reports for the April 06 exams, which should be available under the following link:

Yeh so they have a meeting tonight.... proboboly will laugh about how badly we want our scores..... I am pretty sure the release will be next week........

 

[shebes7]

HEY GUYS LOOK AT THIS!! I THINK THIS MAKES IT FINAL...

You can start looking online next Monday or Tuesday to view your scores.
The paper copy of your scores will be mailed by the end of next week so you should have received them by the week of the 19th.

Ok....Im going to throw my logic out there.

Last year, they updated on a Thursday (June 9th) to let everyone know that scores would be released the following Thursday (June 16th). So, if they update tonight, the scores will be released the 15th.🙂 If not, I'll assume the 22nd as release date 🙁

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

Wow, this is getting to be too real. Now I'm regressing, thinking that I might not really want my scores.

Your link is broke, and what source did this come from?

 

[Iamdumb]

Hi,

I am new here so I guess I wanted to say that I am freaking out as much...

I complained 2x abt the aci-base neutralization question and another one but they never ever replied to me... They had better not penalize me on those questions... In any case, I took the CBT version of the MCAT and it was an absolute disaster.

Any comments on where getting 4 incorrect answers for in PS would put me? 11 or 12? or 10?

Thanks.

Here's the correct link: https://services.aamc.org/mcatthx/

It would put you rather solidly in the "counting your chickens before they hatch" corner. 🙂

The 2005 and earlier data comes up for me. I don't see a blank screen.

Depending on the curve, it can even drop you below 6 or 5...

[EddieIndy]

Ok, it's final. 4-5 days to go. And you know how quick weekends pass by...

 

[Pemberley]

posts are flying thick and fast around here

 

[shebes7]

I sent the following email to [email protected]:

Hi, I’ve heard that MCAT scores are going to be released online on Monday or Tuesday (12th/13th). Is that true??

Please let me know.


and got the response that i already posted.

Forget about MCAT's, i'm still waiting for my SAT scores to come back!

 

[EddieIndy]

I don't remember being that nervous about SAT grades... Maybe coz it didn't take them 2 freakin' months to grade it!

I am not so quick to believe this person, as I doubt the MCAT office would send a defunct link to the THx page.

You're reading my mind coco...

Then again, they did keep sending replies to my emails to my brother-in-law who has a similar email address instead of to me (thankfully it was him and not a stranger though!)... Maybe I'm giving them too much credit!

Well, it takes some creative imagination to make up an email like that... I think it's real 🙂

not that creative. i don't buy it.

He told me what I wanted to hear. I'm buying it! 😀

 

[Haemulon]

Well, even if that post is bogus, all evidence still points to early next week for release. So thats good.

 

[Haemulon]

Wow! This thread really has exploded this past hour. Just think about what will happen when an update is released (maybe tonite????)

 

[TPROrgoTutor]

Hi,


Any comments on where getting 4 incorrect answers for in PS would put me? 11 or 12? or 10?

Thanks.

4 incorrect answers would put you at 14/13. Trust me, this is something I know. The last guy I met who got a 42 missed 6 questions on PS, 2 on verbal, none on bio, and pulled a 42. Dont sweat it. Me on the other hand, I missed a whole passage on bio, so I have reason to be worried.

How does this guy know what he missed?
