I got my score today, and it was disappointing. I got 130/123/124/127/504.
What was really surprising was on the AAMC sample test two days before, I scored 71%/83%/73%/89%, which on reddit corresponds to a 126/128/127/128/509. I'm not surprised I did better in the first section; I was being distracted by my family when I did it. Also the week before, I scored 510 on the AAMC scored test.
It was honestly a pacing thing and halfway through the CARS section I thought I was running out of time and started rushing. I guess it messed me up on the bio section too. I am confident I could do better, and I'm wondering if I should retake on aug 20 and receive grades back sept 20. Or if I should just think about applying again next cycle.
I am a NC resident, and I have already applied to East Carolina University. I wanted my application to be verified, so I could apply faster. I guess there's no backing out now right? The only thing I have left to do is meet my premed advisor, and get a committee letter. Then, my application is complete minus secondaries. My GPA is 3.5 and I have lots of clinical experience as a medical scribe and volunteer at a free clinic.
So should I do a fast retake and keep applying or delay for a year. No DO or Caribbean schools.
