[tenmuses]

OK, so my high prediction was 35...and I nailed a 35...except not at ALL in the fashion I had expected =(

14V (holy smokes 99.9-99.9%ile!!!)
12P (yay!!!)
9B (DOH!!! MISSED THE 10?)

And worst of all...

AN L IN THE WRITING...WTF!?!?!!? They're going to think I'm completely ******ed, that I'm like crazy brilliant at reading but for some reason I can't write my words out. Ugh. 3.3-9.7th %ile...no joke...jesus...

This is what happens when you try to write on 2 hours of sleep =( The same thing happened during the one practice where I didn't really sleep, my other sections were ok but my writing looked like garbage.

What really sucks is that during the real MCAT I totally went over the checklist of their requirements and I'm pretty damned sure I met their stupid 4 points or whatever...wtf?!!?

It was a few years ago, but I scored an L on the writing portion.

I was told on several of my interviews that it's a red flag regarding communication abilities but, given the subjectivity of that part of the exam, as soon as an interviewer can tell that it's not an issue, it's irrelevant.

/32L and multiple acceptances.
//Oh, and I scored that as a published author with a few writing awards to my name. 🙂

 

[lunaire]

Dude, SDN does not represent the applicant pool. A 36 (97th Percentile!!!) will make your application experience very comfortable!!!

hehe, I know. Seriously, though, congrats to those with the killer scores. Make sure you mention it every couple of sentence during the interviews

 

[premediate]

I improved 3 points total but I m still not impressed

there's no reason to worry about the writing...and a P really isn't too shabby either the average for accepted applicants is a Q, so you're totally fine, and i don't think it's considered much anyways. congrats on your score!!

this is my second time around:

1. Your Form (If you remember): FH?

2. Your Practice Score Range: 28-31

3. What you used to Study: all of kaplan's stuff, tpr's science workbook (but not too much), all of aamc's tests

4. How do you feel right now? VERY much relieved!

 

[dr.squishy]

I retook the exam
August 2004: PS: 10, VR: 6, BS: 9 --> 25M
August 2006: PS: 10, VR: 7, BS: 10 --> 27M (form CH)

...On my last practice test, I got PS: 12, VR: 8, BS: 14 M on AAMC 9

I am totally depressed but at least a bit happy that I had an improvement.
I have applied to many schools, but I guess I will be only sending secondaries to low teir schools now. Good luck everyone else!

Having read Anastasis' posts, truly honored to be designated as such. Perhaps 'Score Triplet' is a better term?

yeah but technically not so, cuz Dr Durden's writing section was different whereas yours and hers is identical. 😉

 

[leahmaria]

i am headed to bed...to much posting to keep up with. goodnight

and CONGRATS! There are some real MCAT killers on this board. Way to go!😀 !!

 

[hp540]

Just thought I'd make a more proper thread before going to sleep half buzzed and oh so happy 🙂

Form: BG
Did NOT take any prep courses
I practiced on the AAMC MCAT Exams 3 - 8. Averaged around 35 - 41. So this is dead on.

🙂 Night everybody. I'm a happy boy.

/32L and multiple acceptances.
//Oh, and I scored that as a published author with a few writing awards to my name. 🙂

Heh well I'm just worried it won't even get me to the interview.
I'm hoping the essays that go with my application will help show that I'm not a complete basket case for writing...I seriously do NOT know how the hell I got an L...I mean I was thinking my writing was kinda crappy but...an L should mean that I basically ignored any of the instructions, and I sure as hell didn't do that...like wtf?

13 PS, 12 VR, 14 BS

I used Examkrackers, and my practice scores ranged from 31 to 36....

I am totally in shock right now....I'm surprised I did better on the science sections than on the verbal though, since I really felt better about the verbal....oh well, not going to complain, especially since this was my first time taking it! 😀 😀 😀

 

[zissouintern]

Hey everyone,

I've avoided SDN like the plague since August - too stressful. But, I'm better now:

hahaha i was so worried i wouldn't make the 10 vr and O WS cutoff at queens.....can we get a f*ckin hell ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[soonereng]

34M - 12VR 13PS 9BS

Not bad considering I haven't been in college for 5 years and I have had no bio courses or organic chemistry yet.

1: BJ I think.

2: No full practice test scores. I just practiced on BS and scored 8-11 range.

3: I studied for one month prior to the August test using ExamKrackers books for Org and Bio while I worked my day job as an engineer (decided in July to go to medschool).

4: Relieved. Now I can focus on getting the bio prereqs done and hopefully my score was good enough to get an interview this year. Kind of bummed about the writing, but I hadn't written an essay in 7 years, so I guess the M is probably about right.

[Noeljan]

Form DK.

Did all full length practice tests out on the market (except Kaplan #10/11, did all the rest, all three of EKs and all of AAMCs). Went over all of Kaplan and EK study materials for 10 weeks. I had gotten consistent 33s on few of my Kaplan practice exams.

My score was exactly the same as AAMC #9 I took few days before the test.
Practice scores ranged from 30-35.

I am extremely happy that my verbal hit the two digit mark as that was my biggest struggle (always had 8s and very few 11s). Physical was 1-2 below my avg practice score and biological was on the dot.

I had told my husband that I would bit content but not ecstatic if I get 32 and it'd definitely be enough for me to not retake. And I would retake if 31 and below (only b/c I needed to have my MCAT score make up for my subpar GPA.) But I also told him I would be jumping up and down if I had gotten a 33.So, I feel bittersweet.

I'm just so glad it over. 😳

shaddup!!!!! j/k. But seriously, this is SDN the home of the high scorers!!!!

The first time I met spoke or heard of people getting 43s or 42s or 41s or 40s or anything higher then 37 was on SDN.

LOL. Seriously, SDN is barely a fraction of test takers or the applicant pool.

BTW GOOD LUCK this coming week!!!!! I know you are going to be accepted!!!! 😀 😀 😀

Hey guys,

Finally checked. I did as expected, a little disappointed but I'm fine with it.

36R (P: 14 V: 9 B: 13)

I don't know how I got a 9 in verbal. I never scored a 9 on verbal even on the practice tests, I was always 10+. If I had my usual 11 on verbal, i'd have a 38 😳 . But oh well, its over.

Practice range:
Last four tests were:
AAMC 3 - 37
AAMC 8 - 38
AAMC 9 - 39
AAMC 7 - 37

So yeah, a 36 was a little disappointing for me compared to my practice tests, but hey, its over, I don't have to take it again, and its good enough for med schools (I think).

Does anyone know how to find out which med schools take your highest/most recent score and which take the average? Is there a thread for this on SDN? I'd really appreciate it if someone could let me know. Thanks!
