I'm dying while waiting for my score. 7/22 test date. Literally dying. In the existential sense, anyway. I feel like the bio section was a total curveball, and psych had a ton of stuff I wasn't prepared for despite doing all of AAMC and princeton material possible. I wouldn't be surprised to see my score drop 5 points from the AAMC practice. I really don't want to retake, though I am cool with DO so I could theoretically retake this cycle and still be okay. I've been studying in prep for that.
I second you on being ok with DO. In reality, I am expecting anything from 490-520.
 
Full panic mode. I feel like throwing up... but trying to cope ahead. Got a 510 on AAMC Practice Scored. But the real test felt much harder.

<500 ... I don't want to believe that's possible. I will be extraordinarily disappointed and confused.
500-505 ... I need a better DO list, but I will try to keep my chin up.
506-510 ... I will be proud of a score in this range and push forward with my applications. 20 MD and 5 DO
510+ ... A girl can dream, right?


Reminder of how I felt after my test:

I feel paranoid that I accidentally chose to void my exam. The first option is to have the MCAT scored, right? 😕

C/P 🙄 (internal :arghh: @ all the physics)
CARS 😛
B/B 😵 umm... okay... that sounds fake... but okay
P/S :shy: you were a little weird today but I forgive you.

My Prediction: 125/128/125/127 - 505
AAMC Practice Exam (Scored): 126/129/127/128 - 510.

Good morning beautiful people! The day is finally here! Best of luck everyone.

Question: I know most historical scores are released around 3 in the afternoon, or less so around 8am but I was just looking at the AAMC Twitter and they posted the announcement for the July 8/9 test at 12:14pm saying they were up. I can't see the time of posts on SDN mobile. Is that right? I'm EST.

I don't have a twitter so just have to refresh the page like an idiot I guess lol. I know someone here will announce it!
I'm proud of how composed and calm I've been all month. Even now I feel relaxed, just want to know when I need to log in.
 
No no. I can't. Lol. Only my previous attempts. I'm asking will it it just show up like that and I have to click view scores? Or will I log in and just see the scores. I'm asking because I took mcat 2 years ago and I can't remember

I'm sure that you'll have to click on the date and then it'll take you to another page with your scores

Good luck to everyone! I'm a 3rd time taker! Keep pushing towards your goal! Don't let the neuroticism get to you! One of my best friends is a first year, just started a few weeks ago and she took it 7x, yes, 7! Many people told her to give it up, look for another career etc. But no! She kept going! So don't let this test define you! I'm rooting for all of us!

I'm really proud of how calm I am right now. I slept like a baby last night and just woke up at 10am this morning, however, no there is no sign of score release. Eating a cinnamon-apple oatmeal and coffee for breakfast and will watch some funny youtube to chill. Good luck y'all, we all did our very best!

I wish I could say the same... Constantly refreshing aamc/this thread/reddit while trying to keep track of my western blot 😛

The twitter times are in pacific standard time, so the scores 2 weeks ago released at 3pm eastern, and were announced at like 3:10ish. I did some heavy stalking of the twitter page for the July 8 score release you see.

I thought so. But the AAMC is here in DC so I considered that it may be in EST too. Gtk. I'll be picking up my son from school at that time so I guess I should leave my phone at home to not be distracted haha
