Hey all this is my first post.

I am having dreams too! I haven't eaten much for the last two days. It's crazy 24 hours from now we will all know and see if that hard work studying payed off!!

It's good to know all you are counting down the minutes too...

All counting down together- for better of worse! Ive been checking today every 30 minutes- cuz MAYBE they released it early- nothing so far :\

This wait is killer....

Based on my average AAMC practice scores, and how I felt on test day, I predict somewhere between a 33 and a 36 :xf:

I have to say I've handled the wait a lot better than I thought I would, probably because I analyzed it to death the first two days.

Is anyone else as weird as me: I plan on holding up a piece of paper to my computer screen and slowly sliding it across to reveal each section score individually. Maybe that's too torturous?

There is no way you scored that far below your AAMC average, QF! I bet everyone feels like crap afterwards. I know I did. But I do understand lowering your expectations so that you aren't majorly disappointed. I've tried to convince myself I didn't get higher than a 35.

I'm like everyone else on this forum. I've been having dreams of getting a 13 lately. I'll be furious if I wasted hundreds and hundreds of hours studying only to get a 13. My average aamc was a 30, low: 27, high: 32. I am predicting a 25 however. Verbal was usually my saving grace with a reliable 12+, but the verbal section on test day was a total ****show for me. Ughhhh... I wouldn't be disappointed with anything over a 27 at this point really. Time couldn't move any slower these last 24 hours. Good luck to everyone!! Report back once scores are released!

I was in the same position as all of you last week since I took the 8/4 exam and I still remember vividly all the wild score predictions racing through my head that kept me from falling asleep. Just try to get some rest tonight and hope for the best! Best of luck to everyone who finds out tomorrow!!

GUH. I'm in the same boat as all of you - I can't take it anymore! I also have an interview and an exam this afternoon, both of which are probably a lost cause, haha. Anyway, good luck to everybody!

Yup, same. I can't believe that the day has arrived, just a few more hours! I didn't start to get really nervous until a few days ago. I've been lowering expectations hard core for sure.

My family has made a game out of this. My parents and siblings chose scores they think I'll get. Whoever gets closest chooses the flavor of ice cream we get to celebrate :laugh:

Yeah this day has such a weird feeling! It is so important, but we have been able to calm down for month and release all the pressure leading up to taking the test while waiting for the scores. I hope to go out for a celebration dinner tonight!

I am clearing up my schedule in the afternoon. I'm going to to lie to my PI to get the day off.

If I bomb my MCAT there's no way I'm going to be productive, I'm gonna sleep all day.

good luck everybody 🙂

Did anyone check their score yet? I got an e-mail from a few schools saying that they received my MCAT score and that my application is complete. I'm way too scared to check my score though. I might need a few minutes/hours to calm my nerves.

AHH... finally gathered the strength to check my score and you're right, its not there yet. I guess schools receive our scores before we do. It must be AAMCs way of torturing us.

Hi guys,I have a question, In how long will the scores be up?On aamc it says after 5 pm ET, I'm predicting anywhere from 20-30, such a wide range hopefully it treats me and everyone else well.

They are normally released 3:15 pm (EST) +/- 10mins. So, about an hour from now.

Mine's up too! 31! 10P, 11V, 10B... I'm so excited! I had predicted a 27, I think! My AAMC average was a 30, but I thought this test had gone way worse! Yay!!! Good luck to those who haven't gotten your scores yet!

11 9 10 (30P), which is better than I was expecting because I felt TERRIBLE afterwards. But probably retaking 🙁 good luck to everybody else!

Got right around my AAMC average. Thought for sure that my verbal would be higher, however. Still satisfied.
