Extremely happy to see 30+. I $h** my pants a little. I knew that PS was gonna be rough and I hit my average on VR. Blown away by BS though. Dunno about that 9 9 14 spread but I'll take it. Can anyone comment on how med schools would view a 9 in two sections and then a 14?

FL AAMC: ranged from 33 to 39 Usual: PS 12 V 11 BS 12/13
Post-test expected score: ( PS / V / BS) (11/11/13)
Actual Score: ( PS / V / BS) 35 (10/11/14)
Comments: So the Physics was as bad as it felt. I only scored below an 11 once on AAMC, but I'm still psyched overall. Didn't actually expect a 14 in BS even though it felt super easy. I was always between 11 and 12 on verbal so I'm fine with 11. No way I'm taking it again even though I know I could do better on physics. I don't want them to think 14 on bio was a fluke.

Why the MCAT is so fun?

Comments: This is my second time taking it, I received a score of 11/6/14 last time. So, I am glad I was able to improve verbal but, I am disappointed I did not get a 10. :/. I am applying this cycle and I am not going to re-take. Does anyone know how medical schools will view my scores? I did get a 14 last time in BS. Mixed feelings right now.

This is truly an outstanding score. Your effort embraces the all-American ideals that we all endeavour to espouse. That 13 in verbal...wow...your reading, so hot. So attractive. So American.

A 32 with a 9 >>>>> A 31 with a 6.

Be happy and :hardy:
 
This test date is by far the most inspirational..

I don't know about the verbal, but I do know that your biological sciences score is A-OK. Maybe not Galapagos Islands good, but we could probably fetch you something with Jane Goodall. Fantastic work!!
 
My life would have been happier if I was a cashier at a fast food place.
No doubt

I just went from a 27 (10-8-9) MCAT in April 2013, to a 23 (9-4-10) MCAT in April 2014, to now a 32 (12-10-10) MCAT!

Miracles do happen folks! Do not ever give up no matter what!!

Absolutely shocked.

Don't be. You are reaping the fruits of your labour. Why would a bird fly if not to reach a destination? You have reached yours.
 
Gotta retake.....

I'm sorry to hear that but I want to say thank you for posting this here... All these good score are scaring me.. maybe there is selection bias but I am so scared I actually haven't summoned up the courage to look at my own score. sigh.

And I truly wish you the best for I know how annoying retaking is given this wasn't my first time

I don't know what to do. felt like that test wasn't too difficult, yet ended up with my lowest PS score. I'm a URM applying both MD and DO, and now I'm just confused. this sucks. anyone have any advice or an opinion on what I should do?

congrats to the rest of you who all seem to have crushed it, except for me of course lol. proud of you guys!

Comments: I'm happy with the physical science score as I thought that I had completely bombed that, verbal is okay as well, but I'm REALLY disappointed with my biological sciences score. I was getting 12's and 13's on BS and really didn't feel bad about BS on the 7/2 test. Not sure if it's worth a retake, as I've already applied this cycle and sitting verified. I'm not a URM and was only applying MD. Help?

Comments: A little disappointed that I didn't reach my goal of 33. I knew PS was a beast, but I'm shocked by the 09 in VR. At least this puts me in the running now after my previous score of 28!

Thank you my friend! I told myself that this was the last MCAT I would take after my 23 just a few months ago, and that I would have to accept the fact that my dreams of becoming a doctor will never be realized.

Nothing in life has felt worse than seeing a 23 on the screen 3 months ago. Nothing in life has felt better than the 32 I saw minutes ago. Amazing how the MCAT works.

Would you mind sharing what you did to improve your score to achieve that score jump?
