Let's do this, mentally or physically. Speaking of physical, I may need to go to the gym for the third time today.

The closest thing I can relate this experience to is that feeling you get when you have to pee so badly, but you can hold it for just a little bit longer as you drive home and park your car... Until you finally reach your door and start fumbling with your keys... by this point you feel like you're about to explode and if you don't get the key in the door soon a little might even leak out...

Right now we're all at the door fumbling with our keys... Come on!!! Open it up!!!

My thoughts on the MCAT,
Anybody who has spent years out in the professional world knows that the reality of performing on the job has nothing to do with what grades you get in school or how you perform on standardized tests.
After ten years working as an Architect I can tell you that no matter what profession you are in, on the job learning is not actually about learning, it is about understanding yourself well enough to internalize the process and apply your particular skills to the profession you are participating in. Standardized testing cannot test a person's will or ability to participate and succeed in that process which takes years to execute.
From this professional's point of view, the score I get today may make it easier or more difficult for me to get into a medical school, but it does not define my abilities anymore than my name does.
That being said, I am furious with this whole process, I feel like I'm going to puke on myself, and I wish you all the best of luck with your scores today. If your presence in this forum, displaying your fears and anxieties, are any indication of your dedication to the profession than I proclaim to you all that you are displaying the commitment needed to succeed.

Maybe its taking this long cause God somehow convinced the AAMC people to give us a generous curve, and since nothing is free, he (she) has to make us pay by torturing us with this unbearable anxiety. Its now 2:03 pm and I think I've paid my debt God.

Well said.

Yet it needs to exist. The licensing and the Steps will be much harder than this exam. Like you said, this is by far no determinant.

Holy crap. I haven't been nervous really the last week, but reading this thread and also the anxiety from this morning is making me very uncomfortable.

I'm more nervous now than I was pre-exam.

am I the only one who will wait until after work to check?

I plan on making it an event. last time it was terrible to see the whole thing at the same time. so this time I will be checking one section at a time and having a beer in between at the bar. By the time I get my entire score I would probably be too drunk to care...
