My Kaplan were a little on the other side of my actual score. I averaged a 40.66 on the last three (41,42,39). I think if you take the average of my last 6 (AAMC and Kaplan) it would've worked out somewhere around my score.

Hmm, OK. I think that's what I've noticed, too.

what did u do different this time if u don't mind me asking?...

thanks man!

I studied 2-3 hours a day for 6 weeks last year and this year I studied 4-5 hours a day for 4 months. I also had one more year of undergrad under my belt with four more psyc classes. That alone probably helped my verbal score.

Here are all my practice test scores from this year:

I wholeheartedly applaud those who rocked their MCAT. Hopefully, I see a 10 point increase for myself soon...

I took the August 3rd exam, but will post my results anyway. I welcome any thoughts/advice people have:

AAMC Average (first 4): approximately 30
AAMC Average (last 3): 34-35 with an approximate breakdown of 12 PS, 10VR, 12BS
June 20th MCAT: 29 with a breakdown of 9 PS, 8 VR, 12BS
August 3rd MCAT: 33 with a breakdown of 13PS, 10VR, 10BS

I am disappointed with the 2 point drop in BS from my frist mcat, but I don't think I should re-take (right?) Does anybody have any thoughts on how adcoms will view my breakdown of 13PS, 10VR, 10BS ? I have a sGPA of 3.9 and a cGPA of 3.33. I'm a non-traditional student. I majored in humanities and my non-sci GPA got obliterated from a bad year in undergrad. My post-bas GPA is 3.98 and I have good ECs and letters. Any thoughts on my chances? Thanks!

Thanks a lot bro! Can't wait for when KH 1.5 HD Remix comes out 9/10. Even though that's the day before my MCAT. But I won't be doing anything that day anyways. haha

Was definitely dreading checking my score, and finally just closed my eyes and signed in and voila! Can't say I'm stoked about it, but definitely an improvement in the area I was hoping to improve in. Last year I got a 6VR/11PS/13BS= 30Q, and this time around I ended up with 11VR/12PS/10BS=33. Feeling pretty happy though. Good luck to everyone who is applying this cycle!

Thanks dude...

 

[DonaldRoss]

Apologies for the delayed post, I was visiting the forum to see how others did and thought I would give my own results!

I wrote multiple AAMC practice tests throughout the summer and was scoring a 32 on average.

I wrote on June 20th and got VR=9 BS=11 PS=8 Total=28. I was discouraged with this result and was only motivated to push on and write August 2nd.

August 2nd I scored 10's across the board for a total of 30.

Congratulations to all of you who are happy with your marks and best of luck to those who continue to push on!

O Grady when do you end up getting your results?

Sept. 17th. The wait has been killing me!

Thanks a lot bro! Can't wait for when KH 1.5 HD Remix comes out 9/10. Even though that's the day before my MCAT. But I won't be doing anything that day anyways. haha

What console(s) is that coming out on? Sadly I don't have a Ps3....

Why did you waste money applying in the Caribbean?

Why did you waste money applying in the Caribbean?

Worried neuroticism

Worried neuroticism

I understand, you know that you'll be accepted at any foreign school.

 

[chuckmorris]

awh u guys are really mean. I applied to the carribean because I wanted to make sure I had a fall back incase everything that could go wrong did. That's not neuroticism that's solid planning.
