Where the rest of my September 18th homies at ? I just started Sn2ed's 4 month schedule (customized with some extra Kaplan material).

I'm trying to figure out the same thing too. I didn't add this test date to my app originally but I added it yesterday after getting my score back.

Are you planning on sending each school an update? I was thinking that they would get the new score automatically. Do you think it would be advantageous to send a letter in case they've already reviewed my app?

I'm sending out update letters to schools I haven't heard from as well as schools that notified me I was on pre-interview hold. I know AMCAS automatically gets the new score but it seems a bit much to expect that schools will get push notifications for updated apps...

That makes sense. I'll do that as well.

Thanks 🙂

Test Date: 9/18/14
Time: 1pm
AAMC Average: 40ish
Post-test expected score: 12/10/13
Actual Score: 36+

For those wondering about curves:
I missed at least one question on BS and at least two questions on PS. I was unsure of about 40% of my verbal answers. I think the curves were like the AAMC FL curves.

I'm a bit disappointed I didn't reach my average but it really came down to a few 50/50 guesses for 2-3 questions (super random ones). I guessed wrong a few times but that's life. Overall, however, it was a good effort.

Lastly, I have to give special thanks to @Cawolf , @Czarcasm , and everyone else who helped me on SDN Q&A over the summer. I literally could not have done it without your collective insight and knowledge.

Congrats on the awesome score! I just need to try to replicate that now. . .

Haha, busted! I have SDN connected to my phone, so I received an alert when my user was mentioned. 😛 I still visit periodically though.
