lol I read "SCORES ARE OUT" and just freaked the fu&k out
Seems a bit unrealistic to retake for a score within 2 points of your AAMC average.
Now that it is score release day I'm remembering a bunch of questions I think I missed or am hesitant about... I hope I at least get a 33
the more I try to remember the exam, the less I can. I honestly remember like 3 questions. I wish they would release a report of our exam with our score so we could see which ones we missed. although I guess if you miss a lot of stupid ones you may beat yourself up about it.
wait till the test is done! I'm not touching my scores till after my toxicology. Don't want to be too jittery or depressed... T minus......

My range was 28-35 and the next MCAT I'd write would be a completely new format. It's completely realistic LOL. Not to mention the med schools I'm applying to only look at your best and 2 points makes a massive difference.
I'm hoping for the best, expecting the worst.
Haha, well, I'd hope you wouldn't get a 32 on the new one...but I'm betting it won't be an issue anyway
Honestly, I don't think I can make any predictions. I was very calm during the test, I was able to pace myself well, and when I came out I thought it was a fair exam (although verbal was pretty hard - and it's my best section). Now, I feel like I might have fallen for some trick questions, and possibly bombed physics (my weakest section). I'm very nervous right now.
or disappointment
Probably anywhere from 3-5 EST
The 8/21 scores were released at 12:27 PM, according to: https://twitter.com/AAMC_MCAT. I don't know what time zone. I even have some reservations as to the correctness of that statement, because I have vague memories of posts that I read yesterday about tweets either by AAMC or Kaplan that scores were released (but they weren't).
I believe that was 12:17 PST

Technically that would have been ... PDT (not PST) ... since daylight savings was in effect. 😉
Wow i was doing fine until now.... **** im literally shaking
Im going to be staying at the AAMC Twitter page until it comes out; just waiting for that one tweet!
And I'll be waiting for you to update us, which you will do ASAP... right? 😀
I turned on mobile notifications to receive a text when they tweet
Hello all, been here for a while but I never used it. Hope I did, I could have used the support lol, my views on the exam were,
PS: Chem was a but hard and somehow time consuming. Phy was easy.
VR: lol what is that, I did 1 as a preparation for the test. But I felt they are all long passages. Did not do them all and took 5 in to rest for the BS section. (They don't really take it into consideration here in my country)
BS: Overall easy, 2 O-chem passages and few discrete. easy as f**k.
I myself am a Biology major and aced O-chem both of them. Not so good in Phy and okay in General Chem. I hope for the best and expect the worst as someone said upwards.

You are referring to the AAMC tweet, which has been mentioned. Trust me, all the anxious premeds on this forum, including me, have already looked into this. It has been rumored that the time of that tweet was of the PST (or was it PDT: more neurosis) time zone.
I setup a script to refresh the Twitter page every 5 seconds, and email/text me if it finds "8/27 #MCATday, scores have been released!"
How's that for neurotic?
🙂
EDIT: Just modified the script to refresh my THX page and look for "08/27/2014" instead. Duh!!
