I knew a guy who rarely showed up for lecture or discussion. He was the same one who showed up on MCAT morning asking, "Do people actually study for this?" I often wonder what happened to him... 🙂

I'll be the guy who no one knows is in their class until match day.

I hope you weren't friends with him! People like that PISS ME OFF.

I have no problem with skipping lecture.....if you know what's going on, why bother going? But it's people who always boast about "not studying" that really annoy me

Agreed. I went to my genetics class probably <10 times for the whole semester. But I wasn't shoving it in people's faces.

I dominated on the science reasoning section.

I got the highest possible score on spatial reasoning, or whatever that is. Every aptitude test I've ever taken has told me that I should go into engineering or mechanics of some sort.

Of course, I absolutely suck at that stuff in the real world. :laugh:

31 on MCAT, no questions asked.

See my husband is trying to argue that since the highest he got on ACT was a 30 and he always scored really high in percentiles on other stuff in high school that a 31 on ACT must be higher than a 31 on the MCAT (since a 31 on MCAT is what - 80th percentile? Just guessing - didn't look it up)

31 ACT is like 99% but its against all of the HS population. I'd do it by SDs.

I admit that it's hard to compare the two tests. My recollection is that the ACT was cake compared to the MCAT, though. I mean, I didn't take one of the math classes supposedly tested on the ACT and I did very well, so what does that tell you?

good point - even a lower percentile on MCAT might be a bigger accomplishment because it's a more competitive group of people you are being measured against.

Okay, now I'm all impressed with my hubby's 30 on the ACT. 😉 I took the SAT so I never really knew how well he did. 😀

I took both. Plus I took the SAT in 8th grade and 11th, as well, so I was able to measure how much I improved.🙂
