Gettheleadout,
I don't know if you are just really young, arrogant, or most likely both, but just in case no one has ever taught you proper etiquette, it's typically considered rude to judge experiences you have yet to experience. It just doesn't rub people the right way. It is kind of like when LeBron James used to pass judgement on Bryant and Garnet's success when he didn't even have a championship himself yet. Everyone thought he was a young, loudmouth, arrogant, prideful, brat. So, no hard feelings but until you have your day in the MCAT sun, you should just keep quiet.
Nice veiled insult there.
Your post might actually apply if I were passing some sort of judgment on individuals' subjective experiences with the MCAT. However, I have not, and I am not. I have said nothing along the lines of "nah bro, your MCAT wasn't different/hard/whatever." I have simply argued the validity of a point presented by some users as apparent, prima facie fact, by pointing out the disagreement presented within the group of test takers and issues with sample size in forming a consensus.
Here's how this topic has unfolded on SDN:
Assorted Users: My MCAT was totally different from the AAMC FL's, I wasn't prepared for any of these types of questions/formats/whatever, this whole thing is a scam! X number of SDN users scored way off from their AAMC FL average so the whole thing is useless!
Other Users: Our MCAT's were representative and we disagree, we feel our prep prepared us to a reasonable expectation and we expect we performed to reflect that given our perceptions of the particular test form we had. Also, either way you argue this SDN is a woefully inadequate sample size, and is unrepresentative and means nothing.
Assorted Users: No, really though, it's all useless and unpredictive and we know this because our personal experiences trump yours. Be warned young SDNer's!
Me: Clearly you guys don't have the evidence in any form to assert your position as fact.
Assorted Users: You haven't even taken the MCAT, you're an idiot so shut up and go away.
It's a joke.
I'm not sure how I can express just how contrary I feel your outlook is to the goal of open discussion and courteous consideration of peer input. I'm really glad I don't feel that way, about any topic, and would actually give someone the respect to consider the intellectual value of their input, rather than shun it with a cop-out excuse about "experience," as if subjective experience tells one anything about the actual truth of a matter.
