PS: 9 (Difficult Form. But curve should be somewhat generous. If I'm lucky I could break 10, guessed 1 passage)
VR: 7 (PS sucked the life outta me! Never recovered and I ended up bombing verbal, guessed 2 passages)
WS: Hahaha...
BS: 10 (Felt comfortable with Neurobiology/Physiology)

Overall: 26N

man, these predictions are weak! :laugh:

go back and check the April 2004 prediction thread. everybody had brass balls, actually predicting things like getting a 14 in a section, getting 38+ overall, etc. where's the august gunners? you guys aren't holding up them SDN tradition! :D

by the way, i NEVER made an attempt to predict my score. i knew that if i said something even half-way confident, the karma gods would smite me, and i would be relegated to podiatry school. i'm jinx-proof, bitches!

Well, I'm just going to predict a total range, so here we go....

More than 15.
Less than 45.
Writing sample: Between an O - S.

Other than that, no thoughts. :cool:

I can try to make a decent prediction:

PS: 9 or 10
VR: 10
BS: 11 or 12.

This is what will prolly happen, if PS is a 9, then Bio will be 12, if Bio is an 11, then PS will be a 10. So I predict a 31 (this is the score that I got most of the time when taking practice tests).

Do you not need at LEAST a 30 to be even considered my Med-School's? Here in Ontario I believe you do...even higher...

PS: 11 (Uhhhh haha that would be AWESOME)
VR: 10 (If God was really on my side)
BS: 10 (Maybe... just MAYBE!)
WS: P

Let's hope that these predictions are RIGHT! I busted an 'S' on the writing sample last year because the topics were a joke (the ones from AAMC 7 actually) but this time I know my lack of caring for this section must have screwed me over! There's no way in hell I'd ever take that test for the 3rd time... It's SO great to have my life back!!! Woohoo! :oops:

I'm too superstitious to guess my score.
Probably above 20 and less than 45, wayyyyy less.

1) Most of us got pretty close to our predictions. Well, those that reported back, anyway.
2) You, my friend, are a wimp. :rolleyes: But I don't blame you.

If the stars are aligned in my favour:

PS: 11
Verbal: 12
Bio: 13
Writing: who the hell knows.... um, P?

If not, subtract one from each of the above.

i really didn't intend to do a prediction but what the heck?

PS: 6 felt like a zombie, was in a really bad frame of mind...i'll spare you the details, didn't finish it

VR: 7, still hadn't recovered from PS and didn't finish that either

W: maybe a P or something

BS: 9????? maybe, 10 tops

so 22-23...yea lower than even my first practice test :(

After rushing the last 2 passaged on PS and the last VR passage my predictions for a 33-36 have gone way down. I know it isn't the end of the world, but I am just hoping to get a 30+. Whatever i do end up getting, it will probably be better than my 26 last april. Predictions:

PS 8-10
VR 9-11
BS 10-12

If God is on me side, 33, if he left this one up to me, 27. We'll see.

Here are my predictions:

PS 6
VR 12
BS 10
Writing Sample R

PS was horrifically hard. I felt like I guessed through half of it. My form was CH. I can think of 5 questions that I answered with confidence. I ran out of time and outright guessed at the last passage.

VR was cool. I usually do well in this section and this wasn't the exception.

Writing Sample. I didn't practice at all, but I hit all the points and I think I did it well.

BS seemed pretty much the same (on level of difficulty) as the practice tests... which I was getting 10's in consistently.

Darn that PS section!!!!!

I hope that I'm being conservative, but that test shattered me.

i never said people didn't do well, its just pretty ballsy to proclaim 99 percentile scores the night after the exam. maybe that's totally normal to you, though.

um, thanks for that mature contribution. my post was in jest. with your VR score, i can't imagine how you thought what i said warranted insults. :confused:

Hey Psycho - I like the addition to the sig. Oh, and I'm so sorry to hear about your day on Sat. That really sucks. I hope you did well anyway. If it makes you feel any better, and I know it probably won't, but I had the flu all last week and still felt like crap during the test.

whoa, that's amazing...congrats!!!

And to comment on your comment from a now closed thread:

"Hey Psycho - I like the addition to the sig. Oh, and I'm so sorry to hear about your day on Sat. That really sucks. I hope you did well anyway. If it makes you feel any better, and I know it probably won't, but I had the flu all last week and still felt like crap during the test."

wow that sucks...sorry you had the flu and felt like crap during the test but obviously you still were able to concentrate and do well. I can't say the same...i think if i didn't have to leave the room so often and lose so much time...and yea i guess be in chronic pain in between maybe i could have concentrated better...but it really did suck.

I've always wondered that too... MedCAT. A professor of mine continues to refer to it as such, and it drives me up a wall.

In any case, time for Johnson Family Vacation. :)

Haha, true gunners would already have taken the exam. The only gunners left are those who are taking it before their junior year :eek:. I remember the score predicition thread though, everyone was like, "Yea...I don't think I did as well as I thought...I don't think I bust a 40, that darned PS, I think I only made a 13 :(."

I got slaughtered in PS (form CP) so the AAMC is gonna have to break out a new score conversion and give me a -2.

No harm, no foul. If I had done better than Q on my WS, I probably could have written something more obviously funny. The only thing worse than being witty, according to John Cleese, is being not witty.

That?s right. I was consistently getting 33?s on the AAMC exams, only to wind up with a probable 26 on the real deal. Why? Two reasons: lack of sleep and a really, really hard exam. As far as the sleep goes, I detailed everything in the sleep thread, but basically I got only 3 hours due to getting a really crappy hotel and also being riddled with anxiety and adrenaline.

As far as the exam, I had form AK. The physical was really not that bad. It was mostly formulas and not too much problem solving. The verbal section was a nightmare though. What got me was the spanish ships enigma. I could make no sense of it and after spending 15 minutes on it I had to end up guessing on all of the questions pertaining to it. It set me so far behind I could not catch back up and had to end up blind guessing on the last 8 questions.

Then the bio. Ohhh, the bio. This was one of the hardest bio sections I have ever encountered. It was mostly abstract problem solving.

Overall, this was one bitch of an exam. If I had been getting mid 20?s on my practice exams, I wouldn?t be upset right now, but I was getting 33 consistently. So to come out of it with that much of a point drop is extremely upsetting. The average MCAt score for my state school is a 29, and I?ll be lucky to get a 27. So it looks like I won?t be getting into med school next year. Looks like I will have to take the Kaplan course in spring and retake the MCAT in April. That means starting med school in ?06. I did all my studying this summer on my own. And that is evenings and weekends. I worked during the weekdays. In the end, it all came down to not getting enough sleep the night before the exam. And let that be a lesson to you! haha.

Not everyone uses the same view. I don't use a "by thread" view, so I can never tell who the heck you're talking to.
