Just thought I'd ask....becuase my score SUCKED! SO disappointed. Not sure what I'm going to do now... :(

I am.....Stupid Physical Section....and bio and verbal section. They all suck but I must say my physical section was the furthest from my tests (2 pts lower). I don't know if this sounds stupid but it actually focuses me more. I am going to start with a quick review of the material and then take an infinite amount of practice tests. Right now I am exhausted and in a state of apathy. :scared:
 
I'm undecided as of yet. I might take my books with me to Israel and on vacation later, see how that goes, and then go from there.

i am definitely retakin, i got an 18 overall, and yet i have no idea where to begin? especially since my practice tests were much higher than that. i dunno if it was the pressure, the stress, or other things goin on that messed me up, but either way i will be there in august!

well won't be retaking (thrilled with my scores) but my heart aches for you guys!!!!!!! honestly just take heart in the fact that lots of people have to retake ~ i know of people who retook after scoring poorly first time and going on to get into UCSF, etc. it will happen for you guys if you want it badly enough! :)


WOW. Just to let you know. Posts like this don't help.

I second that! I am retaking too and am NOT thrilled with my first TWO sets of scores.....third times a charm, right?
 
I am taking it for the first time in august. The results for the april MCAT frankly is scaring me. An average of 25 :eek:
 
me too blank,
i checked the scores for my freind cuz he was so nervous, guess what he makes...
a freaking 38, i should be happy for him, but now i just feel like an idiot all i want is a 30, and kaplan topicals are raping me in da ass.
 
i am retaking too. man! i knew PS was the worst section for me, but the mcat just kicked my @ss. i was hoping to never have to take that test again, but at this point what can you do? ...i feel totally lost on what to do next.
 
27Q I'm undecided. I don't know if I should try this cycle and maybe retake next April. I don't think I'll be able to get enough studying in before August with work and class this summer. I did take it without OChem and am in Ochem now so maybe it would be wise to take it in August with the info fresh in my mind. Man, I wish I knew what to do.
 
I’m retaking it in August. The next 2 months I will be hitting the books in over drive.
 
I got a 28Q. I was disappointed because on my practice tests I was consistently hitting 30...I don't know whether to retake or not. I am an URM with a 3.64 GPA....I think I can still get in some places, but I don't want to be stuck on tons of waiting lists....

I am going to try to decide by tomorrow, because if I retake I need to rehit those books big time :(

The torture begins...

I hope so. I got the exact same score both times I've taken it, with a slightly different breakdown. Retaking in August hoping to at least get into the upper 20's. Are you in NC?
