I can't believe people would even start to bicker about which MCAT was harder.
This is true, but I think us Aug. 16thers are feeling Aug. 20th is getting all the attention. I mean, what about us? It's like being in the shadow of an exceptional older sibling; "Sure, yours was tough," you say, "but ours was WAY more difficult!" Not fair! Ours was DEFINITELY difficult. Perhaps it is that we Aug. 16thers are a more stoic breed, somehow destined by the stars to be more resigned to our fate.
Anyway, I'd like to call to attention the fact that, although we may not have had QUITE the test your Aug. 20thers had, we certainly suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune.
That said, after hearing back the results of the July 24th exam, I'm realizing now that we are both lucky, in a sense, to have received difficult tests. The curve will play in our favor.
Long live Aug. 16th!!!!

You know, I really don't remember a heat of solution passage...are you talking about one that mentioned melting ice cubes?
Oh and another quick question: does the test save the essay even if you don't press the 'save' button right at the end? I sure hope so...

I remember the heat of solution passage. It was tricky and I stared at it for a while...then I realized you actually didn't need many calculations at all because it was really conceptual...definitely a hard passage though
I'm just surprised you all can remember all these details. Usually, as soon as I take a test, I don't think about it until when I get my results back. I could never remember all the things you all can!

On a side note, does anyone still taking classes have this weird vibe about school while we're waiting in this limbo period? Like a really detached and indifferent (not emo ) feeling with time just fleeing by?

man i feel this exact same way thats crazy. Since this semester started, i have done nothing. I cant motivate myself.Yes. I know how you feel. It's almost like stuff is happening at school, but it just doesn't really feel right.... It's not that my classes are any harder this semester, but I feel like things aren't going to really take off until I get my score back.

I've spent so much time thinking about PS (my weakness) that I didn't give BS much thought... I thought it was very difficult. Especially the caffeine/antibody passage. I bombed that one... also there was another passage that was time consuming. I forget what it was about. Did anyone else have a passage whose questions were all essentially about reading graphs?
The one about the dogs and and their intake of some 'unspecified for this thread' element? If so, I found it really time-consuming going back and forth checking the graphs while endlessly scrolling to see what lined up with what...
I'm still reeling from the fact that I had 4 organic passages...
PS-I've been a semi-closeted Jazz fan since the early 90's and I can't wait for the upcoming domination of Williams and Boozer with arguably the deepest bench in the league. With the pickup of Morris Almond, they're gonna be the bane of every team in the Western Conference this year. Contrary to popular belief, the 3 greatest words in the English language are not "I love you", but rather "Stockton to Malone"
I still dont think the jazz can compete with the likes of Suns, Dallas, and spurs, and honeslty i see the Rockets beating the Jazz this year
our thread is seriously weak. IS this a result of less people testing on the 16th? or what?
yo... I'm going crazy. I'm trying to just forget about it till the 19th but people keep ASKING ME HOW DO I THINK I DID!!! Like... I really don't want to discuss it!
Lol... soon people will be saying "Back in my day we had to wait a whole two moths to get our scores back. That's back when the MCAT took all day..."
Just out of sheer curiosity...what made you decide to take two exams 10 days apart? Wouldn't you want to wait for your first score or void it if you thought it was bad enough to guarantee a retake? I'm just asking because I thought to wait for a retake (which hopefully there will not be ).

so our scores are definitely going up on the 19th?
IFor the 8/16 I had to travel from Florida to Chicago to get a test spot. A little expensive but when I walked out of the 8/16, feeling how I felt, test I knew it was worth it.
I just hope I was right
