i gave up worrying, i'm prepared for the worst. Seriously, the absolute worst thing that can happen is I'll have to take it again. I already sent my application in, so there's really nothing I can do about it :/
Yes me too. I'm going to work out, run errands. Then at the end of the day come back and blow up my computer!

Good luck guys!!! I hope you all did better than you thought you would and as well as you wanted!!!
trying to stay busy at research. good luck today everyone.
Just remember score is what it is. Worrying about it won't change anything, you already took the exam. Worse that will happen is retaking it. (actually having to wait again would probably be worse but studying is fine).

Do y'all think it's going to be like AAMC 11 score conversion?
Good luck guys, remember, today is just another day.
So I had three different dreams about three different exam scores. 23 on the first one (8/6/9)), 32 on the second one (average scores on each), and 35 on the last (15/5/15). Then I started freaking out on that 35 because of that 5.... Oh well, as you guys said, the worst that could happen is us taking it again.
Just wanted to chime in and say good luck ! Remember that you are not alone and we are in this together... MCAT is just another test, worst case scenario you retake it, no matter what happens today you will all be great future docs!
I had a bizarre dream where I each section was out of 45 and I only scored a 38 out of 135. Lol.

This made me check. But it was still empty
I'm at work right now and I can't focus on anything for more than a few minutes. Ugh... Hopefully it isn't so bad where I break down and cry in front of all my co-workers. That would SUCK
Good luck everyone
Good luck everyone
Hey everyone. I was in your shoes last week, so I'm wishing you all the best of luck. Good score or not, at least you'll know instead of being in that 1-month limbo of uncertainty. Hang in there!
For those wondering, our scores came out at roughly ~12:08-12:10 PM pacific (3:08-3:10 EST).

My heart is beating so fast. I told my sister to look first lol
I think they just release them via their twitter feed. Either way, you'll know that they've been released based on an explosion of activity in this thread!

I've been lurking for a while. So nervous, the day of the exam I had a dream I scored a 15 (5/5/5). Best of luck to all of us!
That would be the biggest miracle EVER ohmygod
3:09 is my guess for when the scores come out

AAMC Average: 33
Post-test expected score: 32
Actual Score: 33 (10/11/12)
Comments: Overall I'm very happy. I had to retake the test since my scores were older than 3 years. First go-round I got 10/12/11, so I dropped in VR and improved in BS. But I was able to match my old score. Hooray!!!!

Comments: Expected, but still really disappointed. I was stupidly hoping for a miracle of some sort. Hopefully it's enough to stay in California. Good luck, guys.

I have to say I am pretty disappointed; coming out of the test I felt horrible, but after reading some of the other blogs I was hopeful that I might have done better than I thought. Considering I was scoring anywhere from 34 - 38 on the practice exams, I think I will be retaking this. Does anyone think that a late July/early August retake is too late?

30 (11/09/10) ... really did not see this coming (11 on PS when I knew I ****ed up at least 4-5 questions ... was expecting lower), 09 in VR ... well, I guess I saw this coming ... kept yawning and passages were really not suiting me ... and 10 in BS was not expected ... I felt really good coming out of BS 🙁
This was a retake, and score went down from 31 --> 30 ... hopefully it doesn't affect me much, but I suppose now I sit at a 30.5 MCAT

AAMC Average: 27 - 28 (trending upwards. I got a 29 and 30 on my last two)
Post-test expected score: 30 - 32
Actual Score: 28 (10/7/11) Goddamnit!
Comments: I felt great about the PS, a little less about BS. Thoroughly surprised that I did worse on PS than BS (as I always did better on PS in the practice tests). Expected a bit higher on verbal (at least an 8). Oh well. Debating a retake, possibly thinking of postponing my application by a year. But idk what to do in a gap year... maybe ER scribe?
