At least most of you feel the same way! All my non-premed friends and family keep telling me "its no big deal" and to stop checking.

So I got 34R, and I'm not as bummed as I thought I would be. I was hoping for 36, highest AAMC practice was 37. Breakdown:

PS - 13
VR - 9
BS - 12

I think I will keep this score and not retake because my strong writing sample makes up for the low verbal. What do you guys think?

VR 11
PS 8 🙁
BS 10
N 🙁

29N total. The PS has me a bit bummed, I thought that was my strongest section, and I thought I wrote better than an N. Good improvement over the 7VR, 9PS, 8BS M from a year ago, at least.

33/S, good enough? I love the balance. 11/11/11/S

Expected: 12/10/13/S in P/V/B/W respectively. Nowhere near what I was hoping for but good enough for 7 schools I wanted to get in to.

I say keep it. Just go through the MSAR and try not to apply to schools where the 10th percentile for verbal is a 10. I don't think this is many schools though, just the very top tier ones. You don't want to risk doing worse on the sciences in a retake.

There are no words for how pissed I am right now, effing PS. This is 3-4 points below my AAMC average. I want to jump off a bridge.

I'm so upset with my score I'm not even going to post it. Let's just say it was under 20. I was at least averaging 24s. 🙁

Guess it's retake for me.

Omfg 39T how the hell did I manage that!

37Q
14 PS
12 V
11 BS

I can't believe it. I really can't. My score on the BS section was nothing short of a miracle- I thought I BOMBED it. The passages I did poorly on must have been experimental. I was on the verge of cancelling my score because of it, but now I am glad I didn't.

For those of you who had trouble- don't give up. I know I almost did.

I agree with your assessment. I'm not retaking in spite of straight 11's because my "tiebreaker" (writing sample) is sufficiently decent I think.

13-10-12--35P...I have no idea how I got a 13 in PS, I was hoping for a 10 and that verbal would carry me home but I guess I'm happier with this split.

Yeah I also got 13 in PS, which was a pleasant surprise. I expected like 10 after that killer section. I just wish I had the 10 in VR like you got. That would make me much happier. P13 V9 B12 = 34R

37Q so unbelievably happy!

will update with more details if requested to do so

😀 😀 😀
Click to expand...

PS: 13
VR: 13
BS: 11
Writing: Q

I'm really surprised with my PS and VR scores as I thought they were the toughest sections on my test. The BS I thought was fairly straightforward and I get an 11, figures.

A 37 is a good 4 points above my AAMC practice test average as I had been scoring anywhere from 31 to 35.

Now I can finally start on my pesky personal statement. 😀

Breakdown for me:

AAMC 3: PS 10 VR 12 BS 14 Total: 36
AAMC 10: PS 13 VR 13 BS 14 Total: 40
AAMC 8: PS 14 VR 13 BS 14 Total: 41
AAMC 9: PS 14 VR 11 BS 14 Total: 39
AAMC 7: PS 13 VR 13 BS 14 Total: 40

5/22 Real deal:
PS 13
VR 11
BS 13
Total: 37Q

I'm very excited about the real score. I knew I wouldn't be able to touch my practice tests because the scores were so high (one or two questions wrong would throw the whole thing off).

I only got a 33S. 13 V, 11 PS, 9 BS.

The biological science killed me because I am just now taking organic chemistry and I started my biology course 18 months ago. I'm going to retake on 7/17 after completing most of my OChem I course.
