owcc16•••••owcc,

It all depends on the practice test that you're writing (the scales vary since your score depends on how others do). Anyway, 55/65 and higher is good and (I think) would probably result in a double digit VR score. For example, with AAMC V 55 would be a 12 (55-65 is >/= 12), but with AAMC IV, it would be an 11 (47-56 is 10-11). So, it looks like you're in pretty good shape so far.

For me, both those tests were basically perfect indicators for my actual score. I got a 55/65 on AAMC IV and 56/65 on AAMC V and ended up with an 11 on the real thing (no, I didn't remember those, I'm looking at my practice tests :) )

Good luck to you and everyone else writing the MCAT soon!! :) I feel for you all....
 
-10/65 is pretty much a guarantee of a double digit score. I never once got anything near -10 (the best I ever did on practice was like -15... I'm not sure I even got that close actually... I think my best may have been like -17.) Ended up with a double digit verbal on my first MCAT. (no idea how that happened but I'm not going to question it :wink: ) My verbal tests were from the princeton review books... the verbal wookbook and practice tests A-D. I haven't taken AAMC tests yet.

In summary, 55 or higher is almost a lock for 10+. Cheers
