Please post what you got on SAT verbal and what you got on MCAT verbal. Is there any correlation?
(i've extracted scores from another thread)

Yogi Bear: 760/10
Bikini Princess: 750/10
seaturtle112: 800/9
 
750/11 The two tests are different. Your vocabularly is a much greater help to you on the SAT.
 
790/12
I agree with none - they are testing very different things.
 
640/7...sooo sad
 
720/ 12 (best of three)
 
710/10

Good enough, I suppose. 🙂
 
570/9,8 (I took it twice)

I feel like a schmuck compared to everyone else's kickin SAT score...ah well. 🙂
 
660 (1985)/ 11 (8/01)

Dunno what the older SAT score correlates to now.
 
760/11

The two sections are totally different. The SAT Verbal is a glorified vocabulary test with sentence completion, antonyms, analogies, etc. If you have a big vocabulary, you'll do well on that section. Plus, it's a lot easier to improve SAT verbal than MCAT verbal. When I took the SAT's, I thought the verbal was going to kick my ass coz I never read and had just an average vocabulary, consisting mostly of ebonics. Instead of panicking, I just memorized a bunch of big words in the 2 weeks leading up to the exam. 😀 The MCAT verbal tests your ability to focus while reading the most boring, dry, incomprehensible crap known to mankind. That, coupled with the fact that I have the attention span of a six year old who forgot to take his ritalin made it tough to concentrate. Having a big vocabulary is just not enough for MCAT verbal. This is where you peeps who read for pleasure or whatever should shine!
 
Papa Smurf...that explains so much! Props!

Keep on adding your scores! I will come up with a regression later.
My scores: 710/11

800/12 - you can get by on the sat verbal with a bag of tricks; not so on the mcat i think

If you want to look at a graph of this:

You can see, there's just one big blob. I tried to add trendlines, but none of them heavily correlated with the data. I'd run a regression, but I don't have a program like STATA.

(I just took my last final as an undergrad yesterday 😀 , so I have plenty of time on my hands. maybe I should use that time to do my amcas application......)
 
Check out panicking's regression:

wow, big spread...r-squared for a linear regression was only 0.08!

btw, i was TOTALLY cracking up over that "Um FOX" comment too! :clap:
 
I'll jump in...630 Verbal SAT, 9 Verbal MCAT 🙂

Besides, I'm just fooling around since I already created a similar thread a month ago. 😀

My middle two digits of my combined SAT score were the same as my MCAT score. <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" />
 
790 / 11
AP Language / 5
AP Literature / 5

The AP literature multiple choice test is more like the MCAT Verbal section, except the MCAT has more passages in less time.

Yours,

Jason
 
I can't believe you brought APs to the table! 😀

SAT: 710
MCAT VR: 11

Wild guess but I think there is a correlation between students who did well in post high school standardized tests and those who did well in post college standardized tests

1. Nobody would (IMO) post a glamour shot of themselves on SDN.

but more importantly,

2. The link to the picture is: <a href="http://www.absolutely.net/alba/jes1.jpg," target="_blank">http://www.absolutely.net/alba/jes1.jpg,</a> which kinda gives you away . . . :wink: 😛

700 / 11

Took the SAT cold (no preparation), but practiced MCAT verbal for a couple of months. Plus the two tests are very different anyway...
