Just getting this started, this is my retake so im ready to destroy this test once and for all!!
34T - PS 10 VR 10 14 BS.
Not sure how I feel about this right now...I might retake. I'm obviously happy with BS and writing, which might compensate for lower scores in PS and VR...? I'm satisfied with PS since I thought it was way harder than any practice exams I took but VR is confusing me, I thought I would do much better. Sigh.
6 verbal
11 physical science
10 biological science
Q writing
People tell me I should retake..... I've been getting 25~29 on practice tests having 6~8 on verbal all the time.. mostly 6 or 7..
studied whole summer for this exam. (3 months)
I should retake, right?
how does january sound?
I am looking for some serious advice here. This was my retake. First time 5/21 score was P7 V8 B10. This time around it was a 28 P9 V8 B11. I have a 3.73 GPA. I have completed most of my secondaries and am wondering if it is worth it to submit my amcas to more schools this late in the game. Also does it really take 6 weeks from now for schools to receive out scores?
P8 V9 B10 - 27P , Finally done with this monster!! (SMP and a 27 should hopefully get the job done).
It took me 3 MCAT's to get the score I wanted.
I would like to say that both Kaplan and TPR's advice for verbal reasoning are complete garbage. There really is no time to be writing out maps for passages, or trying to do really well on 6 passages and then completely guessing on the last passage, both of these approachs destroyed my verbal score in previous MCAT attempts. I wish that I had practiced the exam krackers verbal approach since the beginning.
For the people retaking scores higher than 30, I find your approach to being accepted to medical school quite funny to read about, and I wish you the best on your pursuit of perfection from an unforgiving test.
For Canada, your best bet with that score is with in-province schools. You're going to need to be absolutely stellar in the other parts of your application if you want a shot at out-of-province schools.29Q
