I was going to go with the May 26 date, but I could use a little more time. I started content review a few weeks ago, and I'm going to take a "diagnostic" in a few weeks to see where I stand.
So, who's with me?
So, who's with me?
I got an 8 in verbal while averaging 10-12. This is BS. Everything else is just fine.
2pm test
Verbal 11, phys 13, bio 13, writing Q---37Q!!!!!
AAMC practice test history in order taken:
AAMC 3- 28
AAMC 4- 31
AAMC 7- 31
AAMC 5- 32
AAMC 8- 37
AAMC 9- 36
AAMC 11-35
Actual MCAT - 37Q
Yes, I am freaking ecstatic about the score. I'm not going to look up all of my individual practice test breakdowns, but my highest PS was 13, BS 13, and VR was 12. So, I couldn't have hoped for better.
Yeah if you scored 12 and 12 the likelihood of you getting a 5 on BS is like 0. Get it rescored... that doesn't seem right, does it? Unless you passed out, hid your head on the keyboard, and went into a coma and forgot that 70 minutes? I just don't see it happening.
I took my first exam in 08/2010 and got a 10 BS, 9 PS, 7 VR, and R W (26R). So, I retook the test on 6/16/2011 at 2 PM. I actually scheduled differently because I had non-standard test conditions so it's possible they gave me a test differently than everyone but from the descriptions of 8 am vs. 2 pm tests it seems like I got the 2 pm test. I received a 9 BS, 9 PS, 8 VR, and S W (26S ). I thought BS was tough so I expected to go down and I am so happy my VR went up even just one point because acceptance rates with students with a 7 vs. 8 VR drops dramatically. But overall because of the 1 point drop in BS () and 1 increase in VR )) my overall didn't change (unless you count W (getting an S still feels good )). Anyone have any advice on whether I should retake again this summer to use in my applications (I honestly did not study well and know if I could again my score would reflect it)? Can I get in anywhere? Does the no change in total score hurt me really bad? Does that increase in verbal help at all? Thanks.

8am'er:
13 PS/13 VR/15 BS/O: (41) Life is good today.
Something happened WTF! I never got below a 8 on any verbal practice test. Was averaging about 8-11. Guess what I got on the real deal, a 3!. Yep you read that right. Should I have it re-scored? I swear I could randomly guess on a verbal test and get higher than that. Advice? Oh get this I got a Q on writing.
I got a 7 in verbal and I never scored below a 10 on all my practice exams and EK 1001
It takes 4 ****in weeks to rescore. If there is an error, I'm livid.
And that's just for the multiple choice sections right? Very lame of the AAMC MCAT people.
Damn, great score. Seems like everyone in 8 am did pretty well on PS considering how hard everyone said it was...
Yes. It seems like several people have had an issue with verbal. I know the chances are slim, but I think for peace of mind, I'm going to have my test rescored. I'm so confused, I scored a 9 the first time and a 7 the second time. I went up from an 8 to 12 in PS, and 7 to 10 in BS. SMH.
Did you do something differently after AAMC 5?
Great job, btw.
So far, I've seen a 3, 5 and 4 on VR from those who claim to have gotten at least twice that on their practices. Something's not right with the VR scores - rescore if your VR is ridiculously low.
Congrats to everyone!
2pm test...
12/7/10 = 29N
I'm scheduled for July 28th. I presume I should retake? I should have broken 30! Man...
I am a 5/21 tester and i also got a unusually low verbal mcat score....i ended up with a 6 and i usually was getting 10 to 12...i was too worried to ask for a rescore but now i am seeing a pattern with you guys...i'm beginning to wonder if there is any problem with prometric?
What was the 7 in? VR or PS?
30 days from test date or score release date?

Verbal...
Is it even possible to get into med school with a 7 in verbal?

Bah...screw it. I am retaking this beast next week. I honestly know I can do better. Good luck to everyone with applications.
GPA 3.7, MCAT 25M. Shoot me. Should I even bother applying or should I drink myself to sleep? I guess I got what I deserved. I only studied for the exam for 2 weeks.
