With so many new test dates offered, i was wondering when would be best date to take the test?
Because I have heard during any one day, there will be a several versions of the test being taking throughout the country. At the end of the day, those tests will be graded based on the raw scores (placing a small curve where necessary if the questions were too difficult)
Now being that there are several test dates, this will make it more interesting because all these traditional kids will take the MCAT after their semester ends and rock it with their university ripened education.
I've heard that raw scores in August are higher because people study in the summer and/or take prep courses. So if you're a nontraditional working 40hrs+, our overall MCAT score may be lower in August compared to if we took it in April.
So in theory to maximize our scores and offset our disadvantage of being labeled a Non-trad, when should we take the exam? In april while the kiddies are still in school?
