So I have seen posts on the 20th and the 16th but nothing for the 14th. I can't wait to get this over with, counting when my kaplan course started I will have been MCATting (not a word) since October and I can't take it anymore. Most frusturating part is that I didn't have that much time to restudy, but at least I got a seat. Anyway, who's ready to take it, I know facts cold but anytime I think about the test my left arm goes numb and my face droops a little. If only I didn't get that 7 in verbal on June 15th+pity+ (I apologize for abusing smiley faces in my posts there just so cool)

I seriously hope they curve the crap out of our scores to compensate for such a long wait.

Did anybody else think our MCAT was pretty challenging? I thought the PS section came out of nowhere (I just hope I get atleast a 9), and the BS had some real weird discretes. One of the orgo passages I think I spent literally 15 minutes on.

I doubt they'll do that. some how i don't picture the people working for AAMC (or ETS or any other testing service that are out to ruin people's dreams) capable of feeling sympathy...or any other kind of human emotion

okay so I'm not the only one...I felt like I was guessing like crazy on the PS section, and the orgo questions i have no idea what happened there
I just want my score already to see how bad the damage was...this is really driving me insane...I've been glued to my computer for hours now.

i wonder if i can ask for a refund on my $50 fee that they charged for me to change my testing date from 8/20 to 8/14.

I only changed my date because i wanted my scores a week earlier, but it seems that we'll be getting our scores around the same time as the 8/20s people...

WOW I'm so flippin pissed, I studied my butt off whole summer.

Looks like they didn't provide a hint of a curve. I just wasted 4000 dollars in applications, Kaplan, and my whole summer.

First time taking it, I have 2 years till I finish my undergrad, so I may decide to retake later. But overall not too excited and not too down. It is acceptable for now.

I gotta say, I'm pleasantly surprised, although in a mixed way. I expected more like a 12 on VR (I thought it was crazy easy) and an 8 on BS, which I'm notoriously bad at. But I will most certainly take this balanced score and be happy. 😀👍😀

Would've appreciated more balance but hey, I'm happy 🙂

PS: 15
VR: 10

BS: 12

Practice test avg was a little less than a 39, low 35, high 41.

I've never gotten as high as a 15 on PS or as low as a 12 on BS.

Hopefully the contrast between the VR 12 and the WS K will at least make admissions committees laugh...

I have no idea what happened. I'm so disappointed by it. No more MD dreams for me. I've been plowing it through long enough to say it's time to move on... 😡 I thought I had a potential based on my practice scores. Good luck to rest of you though.

Man that ps section sucked. I don't even know what to think, go ahead with the applications or not.

Wait shouldn't a harder test get a better curve? I thought I was hearing the Aug. 14 was up there in difficulty or was I wrong?

Your practice scores seem pretty decent, I think all of us that did bad just got creamed by a harsh curve. Congrats to everyone that did good, I wish I was in you guys shoes.
