polarb Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 that is my exact score/distribution. I am not rewriting. I wish I could be do the same thing! But unfortunately, that 8 won't get me anywhere in Ontario and the composite score of 30 won't be too appealing for American schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeman101 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm rewriting at the end of May. I got 31Q on my first try (8VR FTL). My hope is I get good news on May 15th so I can go into my MCAT and bomb it, LOL. I'll try to make the rest of the retakers look as good as possible.

That's bound to be such a good feeling, going into the MCAT, knowing that you don't even have to make an effort! And just coasting through it while all the other premeds are breaking out into a sweat. Best of luck deeman101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Law Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I am retaking but not this summer, probably in Jan/Feb or sometime around then. My first write I got (PS/VR/WS/BS)... 9/10/S/10 - 28S... second write I got 11/5/T/10 26T. That 5 just came out of no fricken where. I have no idea what happened, so I'm going to have to fix it and get the score i actually deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, the "plan emerges" comment in WED has found a new meaning to me. I want to do some real science, so I'm looking to do a Masters next year. Lots of fields I'm interested in, especially cancer bio + heart disease stuff - learned a lot about these fields throughout undergrad and I'd love to get to do my own project. Will apply again closer to completion of my Masters, hopefully the cycle after this next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochi1543 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I started reviewing Kaplan gen chem...I figured, I'd start with the easy stuff (that and bio) first and then if there are no good news come May 15th, I'll move on to the nasty stuff (physics and orgo). I would hate to review physics for 3 weeks only to find out I didn't need to...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamP Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 oh thought I should mention. I had a pure statistics question on my PS discretes, thought that was strange, don't know if they added a stats component recently anyways it was like find the mean and standard deviation of a set of points, turned out to be easy the numbers were different enough that all you needed to know was the mean, the SD was not really required to solve it edit: Ok right out of the aamc PS stuff, lol nvm The ability to calculate the arithmetic mean (average) and range of a set of numerical data; an understanding of the standard deviation as a measure of variability; an understanding of the general concepts of statistical association and correlation. Calculation of statistics such as standard deviations and correlation coefficients is not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng_dude786 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 so how did it go overall? think it went well? any abnormal thingies? oh thought I should mention.

AdamP Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Yeah so physics went really well I felt, there was a curious amount of chem eng questions (an entire passage on mass transfer lol), and lots of dimensional/unit analysis which i always enjoyed, no friggen lenses either. I don't know how i feel about verbal, I'd say somewhere in the middle, i was never writing below a 10 on practices so hopefully that will continue, also only one abstract passage. Bio about the same as verbal, emphasis on systems (digestion etc) more than microbio/genetics, only 1 ochem passage, the ochems i find are easy marks most of the time, but the push by the aamc to cut down on ochem is pretty apparent. Oh the essays were a breeze, one on politics, one on internet regulation...I'd say they were higher quality than my previous ones (Q), but it's hard to say looking back. All and all a good experience i'd say, proctors obviously really nice, i was used to writing at home on a 22'' the screens at the testing centre were really small, which means more scrolling so maybe think about that. So hopefully that mixed with a nice scale (lol everyone is getting off exams right) will get me what I need, if not well I have a lot of time to do it again, apart from it being a ripoff price wise, it's not the stressful gruelling experience that I once thought of it as. i guess we shall see in a month.

AdamP Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Just got my marks back. PS:11 VR:13 BS:10 WS:Q Improvement of 5 over my last write, a little ticked about another Q thought my essays were a lot better than that but who cares. VR is the best predictor of all time anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
