Hi

I made a 22Q (4V 8PS 10BS) on the April MCAT due to bubblings errors on the verbal section. I noticed the errors after completing the section. I have a 3.91 Math/Science and 3.92 Cum. I was wondering should I retake or apply now? Thanks.
 
i just completely edited this post as i was being ******ed 🙂 it's sooo late here and been a long night! 🙂

i would retake. for sure. if it was a bubbling error it will be easily fixed. the lateness will not matter, you'll be much better off with a higher verbal. no question. retake.

Apply now and retake later
 
Please refrain from using the word "******ed" it isn't very appropriate or polite. Thanks
 
Retake. That score isn't representative of your ability if it was due to a bubbling error.

I totally agree. Apply now so you can get your foot in the door for interviews. Mark on your application of say in your secondary that you will be retaking the Aug MCAT. A 4 in VR with a Q WS doesn’t add up. They will see that. Good Luck.
 
Hi

I will retake the exam, because I was scoring higher on my practice exams. My gpa on the aacomas application is 3.94 science and 3.91 cum.
