Hey all! I am signed up for this date. 8:00 a.m. Yikes!!! I am aiming hard to make 40+ my reality so hence me making this thread so early. A former lab- mate and current medical student had a ton of MCAT prep stuff she gave to me. So I have the Examcrackers set, Hyperlearning set, regular Princeton Review, audio osmosis, and practice MCAT tests from a variety of sources I also do the MCAT questions a day through email and on my phone (to help with super quick recall). I am officially studying legitimately now. Currently starting with Examcrackers. I'd love to hear from you all doing the same. Let's do this!!!

well tomorrow is the day, my situation blows.

Took a bunch of kaplan sectionals (about 5 for BS and PS so 10 total) and 3 AAMC practice exams, scored a 30 on the last one I did. Ended up starting to feel sick 1.5 weeks ago, fast forward to now, still very sick, congested, cant focus for more than 10 minutes looking at a computer monitor before it gives me a migraine. I have to stare at one for 4 hours tomorrow and haven't studied in a week.

Going in with good faith, how BS is it that I get sick right around this time -___-

don't be afraid to void if you know you aren't at 100% tomorrow.

Spoke to the receptionist of the testing center, very nice person, she told me to be there about an hour before hand. I also showed her the earplugs I use and asked if they had to be new, she said its okay if the box is open. Not sure if it is at every prometrics center or just this one.


Alright everyone. Last day. Good luck tomorrow. I tell my self this, when you are struggling on a question and feel like you bombed it it, or feel bad about a whole section "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm" Keep working and dont let it affect you. Dont let it keep you from succeeding. We are prepared for this. We got this.

And dont forget to SUIT UP!

In all honesty I might, but i know once I get there I guarantee I wont even think of voiding because it makes no point .I want to see what I get, if its bad or not. Can't be afraid of a bad score.

but if it's really bad, it could reflect as poor decision making or poor preparation. ADCOMs won't know that you were sick, and unfortunately, even though it's true, they may not believe you if the score gets brought up in an interview.

i would rather have a void vs. having a really low score. kind of like taking a W instead of a D in my opinion. but do whatever you want, just wanted to offer my opinion.

Ya I guess, the whole medical school process is pretty lame and unorganized for sure. You would think these "smart" people would come up with a better way.

But here's the beauty of voiding your test, NOBODY other than yourself will ever know you sat for the test! Its a great option to have under you belt.

also didnt know voids dont show up.... interesting =D , also don't mind my negativity, I am very frustrated lol.

Depending on how it goes, may just void, wait 48 hours, attempt to sign up for a January Test date if I can find one that is not in Guam lol. I wouldn't mind taking an early trip down to Florida though =D

Going to go to sleep on 3 hrs or so and wake up to take the MCAT yikess! Nervous nervous because my average score composite is 26... I guess I'll see how I feel after taking the test to see if I'll void it. I'm thinking that if I run out of time in verbal I will void it. What do you all think? I just hate the "what if" feeling if I void it.

you'll just have to compare the timing and number of guesses to your other FLs. if it feels about the same, you will likely have between a 25-27.

feelings are hard to judge off of though. like really hard. especially because tomorrow is such a different experience and you KNOW it's the real thing.

wish we could go in and do double blind placebo tests a few times so i never knew which one was the real one😛

Totally agree!! I'm scared but we'll see, I just keep telling myself that I'm not dying and I can void it if I want to. Positive thoughts 🙂

Even if it's hard they also curve accordingly, that's why is standardized.

Thats what i'm wondering. I am going to void if I felt like my focus drifted off or if I feel like i got 100% of the questions wrong lol, that feeling where you FEEL like you are guessing on all answers but justify them with false logic..... oh..... that f33l
