Figured I'd start a thread for the last ever test day of the current MCAT. I'm dreading studying but I should probably start soon. Who else is taking this day?
Okay so I havent been able to believe what my score was and couldn't gather my self to post the expected vs real scores so here goes.
AAMC Average: 25.25 (but took a whole crap load of other tests after these)
AAMC 10-11 Average: 26 and 27 respectively
Post-test expected score: 25-27
Actual score: 29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10/8/11)
I really cant believe it. I have never done this good on an AAMC exam (but did for other companies) I was so shocked for seeing my score. I really had no idea how to feel after my exam. I finished all the sections just in time and I think thats a big deal because on test day many people get rushed and have to either guess or work twice as fast and make mistakes on the end questions for each section. I took so many practice test and I think I owe it to that (like 13 or 14). I just really want to thank God because I worked my butt off but this exam is so sporadic and I left that part to my praying. Btw I studied about 6 months (4 months hardcore)
I just want to let the people who didn't get what they want to believe in the work you put in. I thought i was defintely going to score -2 from my aamc 10-11 average but ended up scoring the best I ever have on any aamc exam. So if you didnt get it have hope, that 2015 exam isnt all that bad I promise. You can do it, this is the hardest part of the application process. Adcoms are testing your perseverance. Good luck everybody. "Work is in direct correlation with success and success is the sum of hard work that you do TODAY not tomorrow"
I got the same score as you. I hope I didn't miss a 30 by 1 question! 1 lousy point ahhhh. Congrats on the 10 in VR.

THIS makes no sense. I am packing my doctor dreams away. I did everything. I studied....really hard. I was averaging a 28-30 on AAMC. My last Mcat score was a 25 and now I got A 23. I have 3.0 science gpa and 3.0 cum. Schools had already told me that I needed a higher Mcat score to offset my low gpa. So this my friend, is how to lose a dream. It's been real. This process has cost me thousands of dollars. I wish all of you the best. The exam was HORRIBLE for me. I harped on how a lot of the choices were narrowed down to 50:50. Well I DID pick the wrong 50 smh.
Test date: 1/23/2015
Time: 8:00 AM
AAMC average: 36
AAMC 10-11 average: 37
Post test expected score: 33
Actual score: 32 (12/8/12)
Trust the average they said... it's a decent score, but I'm unhappy with the unexpected VR
I feel you! I rarely scored below a 10 on VR and ended up getting a 9 in that section. Given your really high AAMC averages, are you're going to take it again?
Lol not that I was ever on track for a 40 or anything, but I totally understand trying to accept being an average applicantI know right? My AAMC verbals were consistently 10-11, its really upsetting. I'm going to give this cycle a go with my 32, I've got a 50/50 shot at acceptance according to my stats. I was expecting a score that would give me a decent chance at top 20... but I'm trying to accept that I'm an average applicant.
If I get nothing this cycle, maybe... maybe I'll be emotionally ready again to let AMCAS brainrape me again... but it hurts to think about it.
(I hate that this is on the 32nd page of this thread).
does the verbal score even matter that much? if you have a sub 10 on verbal but great scores on the other sections, I think it's fine. We're not trying to be lawyers.
That is my question! 7 in PS. how much will it hurt? 7/11/10Hey guys and girls,
congrats to everyone! This was my first time taking the MCAT and I got 7/11/9 = 27. Will my 7 hurt my chances of DO schools?
First time taker!
AAMC average: 28(9.75,8.25,10)
AAMC 10-11 average:28.5
Expected: 28 (I thought THE orgo passage killed me as I guessed on at least 3 questions)
Actual 30 (11,8,11)
Is this considered unbalanced? I am VERY OPEN to taking MCAT 2015, since I didn't even use all of the resources that I was supposed to! I did a very lazy SN2ed and never finished the Self-assesments or TPRSW, EK1001, EK101VR, or even TBR for that matter... So I feel if I had just studied more I could dont better?
I wouldn't go into medicine unless you are 100% committed. I worked a couple jobs for a while before I realized I wanted me. Its so much easier to commit when you realize it is truly what you want to do.Honestly, take the job. Med school is too demanding to having "what if ...." Statements lingering in your head. Cause when the going gets tough you'll prob be more tempted to throw in the towel.
