Hey I also wanted to mention my form, etc. which I forgot to put in my original score post.
24O as reported was my score....
I had form FH
I was scared like **** that I would get another really low score cuz I had a nightmare of getting a 13 one night. Glad to see that didn't happen.
I used TPR course and started to do EK 101 verbal tests but never really sat down and did many of them. Looking back, had I done their EK, I would have been set. My V subscore was more similar to them then TPR subscores for Verbal on workbook stuff.
My practice score range was from 18-27, with the good majority falling within 24-26 range.
So I was definitely expecting 24 or higher. While, I know some of you all with the 35's and 39's etc are way better scores then what I got, for now, I'm happy with it. Well the rest of my commentary is where I originally posted my score on page 6.
But my advice to future test takers:
A. Don't give up. I don't care what people tell you. You can and will improve your score if you study hard and work real hard. Assess what may have gone wrong and try to change that. Don't sulk and whine, but rather reassess what you could do differently and you'll get through it. The day of the test, it will seem like it was the hardest thing you ever took.....but remember that your scores will mimic your diags.
All of those on here today and last night, will now attest to my theory that 9 out of every 10 people will score within the range of their diagnostic scores.
Most of those with the high scores have shown that they could do this through their diags. I also as pointed out above, have seen that my score still remained within the new range of my diag scores. So there is hope. As you do the practice tests, go through with what you got wrong. Review it until it sinks in your head and you can do it in your sleep. That's how you see improvement.
if you are taking TPR like I did, then i highly recommend that you take advantage of their course material and resources. Use all their diagnostic tests (4911, 4921,4931, 4941, 4951, 4961, etc.) Use the AAMC diags, and use the TPR workbooks like they are your bible. Do ALL OF THE HOMEWORKS if possible and do the in class compendium passages too. This is a lot, but it will help you greatly. The reason I was able to improve was due to doing all this practice that I did not do the first time I took it.
Ok, that's all. Back to joining in the euphoria of post MCAT scores. I'm glad I can get sleep now and not be going crazy neurotic for awhile.
with me.
so i have many reasons to count my blessings.
