I was looking over the AAMC data that showed score changes for testers retaking the MCAT.

I did pretty poorly the first time I took the MCAT. I don't fully know why. Part of it was probably the fact that I didn't do much test prep or any FL's at the time (instead I mostly did content review). The other part was probably being tired and burned out.
I'm waiting on my score from the second time I took it, but according to these statistics...changes of more than a couple points are pretty rare. Maybe the statistics are only from a certain year where score changes were minimal. I figure the AAMC would want their test to appear as reliable as possible. I was wondering if anyone had retaken the MCAT and gotten a much higher score the second time around?
