From reading the posts of those that just took the MCAT, it seems as if everyone feels they did horribly. I felt the exact same way, but it all worked out in the end. I thought you all could you some reassurance 👍
I took my first MCAT last August and walked out of the exam thinking I'd score about a 20.
I had some time left over during the exam and I actually went through and counted the questions I really wasn't sure on. I optimistically estimated that I'd get half of those correct. When I went to the scoring table I was about ready to break down. Using the scoring table from one of the practice tests, I would have scored about a 24! After putting in all those long hours of studying I was so upset.
When October came I received a 35!!! Needless to say, my worrying was all for nothing. My point is, I think just about everyone feels like you guys when they leave the test. Everybody questions their answers and has doubts creep into their minds. Don't question your ability! You know you put a great deal of effort into studying, and it will pay off! I have a feeling that many of you will be pleasantly surprised when you receive your scores. Until then, relax....there's always August (if you need it).
Oh yeah, a little luck never hurt either
