Yep, that just happened. And no, I'm not studying tonight. Are you cray cray? Just watching college football and opening my box from Berkeley Review that finally arrived. Prep commences tomorrow!
THE CAT IS ALIVE!
Test Date: 5/8/14
AAMC Average: 24
Post-test expected score: 30-33 (Right before the scores were released, I had a nagging feeling I got 27 or 28.)
Actual Score: 31 (11/11/09)
Comments: I had to teach myself the second semesters of Bio and Orgo because I haven't taken them yet. All-in-all, I am relieved that I scored in the 30's.
Lol because it is a second language for me that's why I struggle so much with verbal so I was just wondering haha
Posted my study books on ebay and they sold in less than an hour, feels good to rid that hideous site from my bedroom!
Wow, AAMC average to actual score a jump of 7 points! That's amazing! Why do you think you expected such a higher score than your averages? Did you just feel really good about the test afterwards? My average right now is a 29 for AAMC tests, and my goal is at least a 30. I take it friday and have AAMC 11 left to take tomorrow. You definitely gave me hope for average score improvement on the real deal!

Comments: I wish that there was some sort of flag for awful MCATs. If the guy who guesses on half the PS does better than those who thought about it, that's kinda sad. That PS was a ridiculous mess though, the "curve" must have been realy dumb.Cheers to you though, man! I just hope this and my 3.8 GPA and app will be enough to get me a TX school. I don't think I'll be retaking.
st George?Haha yeah. I'm already drunk... So frustrated. I really didn't want to retake.
st George?

Actual Score: 26 (8VR-9PS-9BS)
Comments: First time taking the exam. Basically got raped by PS and BS. Never scored below a 10 on either sciences on the AAMCs... An 8 in verbal is expected for me.
I would really appreciate some advice on whether or not to retake.

Thanks a lot and congrats to those that got the score they wanted!!

That was a rather blunt, kind of rude, response, but all feedback is welcome I suppose. Thank you for your input
Should I just give up!!!
There is no hope for me!!!!
P/V/B ==> 7/6/6 (19) ... I have no idea why I got a 6 in BS ... I've NEVER scored below an 8 in BS & my average was ~9 .. no clue what happened ... there is no hope for me to be a doctor .. I'm 100% sure I will be a great neurosurgeon that will make a difference in medicine, yet, I will never be given the opportunity because I don't know the relationship between Human retina the diameter of the moon!
I'm really proud of what you accomplished and also respect you a lot for this post. Congratulations! It is great to see someone who struggled along with us and made jokes to lighten the mood since 5/8 has succeeded. I'm truly happy for you. Best of luck with everything else!!So here's what I'm thinking as I fall asleep after this crazy, exhausting day. I scored a 38, well above my average, and I am equally bewildered, thankful, and lucky. But at the same time, I see all these people, folks I somehow know are brilliant, empathetic, caring people score low on this 3.3 hour test and I can't help but think it's doing way too much useless harm.
1) All you guys retaking will work your butts off and improve, and you know it deep down so much more than I do.
2) We will all be tested again in life (even those who scored a 45) and cliché as it may be, it really is how you fight back up that defines you.
It was an honor reading y'all's input on this thread every day. Kept me sane and my heart up. You are all gonna succeed, ESPECIALLY those who scored lower than they wanted today. Just through a slightly altered road.
I've now got a great MCAT score, but still have an atrociously, shamefully low GPA to repair. It's gonna be so much fu**ing work, time, and money, but I'm ready because I want what's waiting on that other side more than anything.
Let's fight back up.
Whats your deal? These people just got their scores back and some of them are really disappointed. Do you really think it's the right time to crack a joke about going to the Carribean?st George
You have a chance for DO schools and you may have an outside chance to get into your in State schools if you live in a favorable state.Hey guys, this really has been an awesome thread to lurk on.

I know some schools would filter out the 8's but what about 9's?
Who's retaking July 12?
How are you re-studying?Couldn't find a spot for July 12, so I signed up for July 24. I wish I could have signed up for 12, though.
Hey guys and gals, June 5th MCATer here. First of all, congrats to everyone who scored where they wanted to, and to everyone who missed the mark by a little: you've made it this far, you can rally and kill it next time! Don't give up!
My question is, were any of you a little (or a lot) more nervous/anxious while taking the real deal as compared to the AAMC practices, and, if so, did you still fall relatively close to your average AAMC score?

Comments: This was my second attempt. Felt horrible after taking the PS section, but it ended up being my highest score (there was probably a massive curve for this section).
I'm not sure if this score is competitive enough. I have a 4.0 and several EC's. Do I have a fair shot at an MD acceptance?
