Hey guys,

I'm taking the exam this date because I am NOT a morning person lol.

How's everyone's practicing going? I'm using the SDNed schedule and I think it's getting the job done. I'm on the second set of chapters and I'm feeling confident.

Good luck everyone!

Yes. The performance of others who took the test on 7/6/2011 will not affect your score (assuming you also took it on 7/6/2011).



Yes. This "pre-setting" is very accurate since it is based on a large amount of data from previous administrations. So a 35 on the 7/6/2011 exam is equivalent to a 35 from a 2010 administration (aka standardized test).

not necessarily.

here is what my friend got on 4/22/06:
Total Score: 37S Percentile Range: 96.6 - 97.7

and here is what i got:
Total Score: 36P Percentile Range: 96.2 - 97.5

i would definitely argue that the 36 i got was closer to a 37 than a 36 on my friend's administration based on the percentile coverage.

the score shouldn't be off more than a single point though.

I am really afraid of seeing my scores... I don't know whether to block my whole screen and slowly reveal each section's score... or to just end the suspense and see everything right away..

Well, I think since they made the switch to the shorter CBT version in Jan 2007, the percentiles-scores correlation has been more stable.

You really wont have any option to block your screen, because its all right there in front of you as soon as you login. I find that its better to set your expectations low that way if its good you can be ecstatic, if it went badly you are already mentally prepared to move on from this. Give yourselves a pat on the back, you studied for it and did your best, and not everything in life is going to go the way you want it to thats the nature of things. You will all someday become doctors if you want it bad enough. I've had a few friends who applied to medical school multiple, one of them SEVEN TIMES, and still got in top a top 20 school, which was impressed solely by their persistence. MCAT is not the be all end all, and trust me, every single one of us will have to deal with much bigger issues in our lives than panicking about an exam score. In retrospect this is all going to seem trivial one day. Life is tough guys, you can put in your best effort and hope things turn out well, if they dont keep trying. One thing is for sure, there are hundreds of thousands of people who wish in their wildest dreams that they could be applying to medical school in the position that we are in today. Not everybody is fortunate enough to have had these oppurtunities, dont ever forget that guys.

I set up two windows and held one over the MCAT THx right after I logged in. Then I was able to drag that along from left to right revealing each score individually. This worked out well for me but my anxiety was through the roof when everything was solid and it only left Biology to reveal. At that point I was just hoping it wouldn't spoil it for me.

Anyway, good luck everyone, I'm sure many of you did better than you thought you did when you left the test center.

A reminder that the scores posted on SDN tend to be higher than the average MCAT score.

National MCAT scores average: 25
Average of scores reported on SDN: 32

So don't freak out.

The official release time is 5:00PM ET but for the last couple of administrations, the scores have been released between 3:00PM ET and 3:15PM ET.

Please post your scores along with the breakdown as it appears in THx (VR/PS/BS) and AAMC practice test average (if available).

Dude I haven't even written the MCAT yet but I'm pretty shook waiting for your scores release...

Often I hear about a difficult test but rarely do I see the actual people's results a month later to see if they ended up being happy or if they did poorly.

So hopefully you guys do well so I can ensure that even if I think I did poorly on my MCAT in a couple weeks I'll be fine ^_^
