BStill Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hello everyone, I must say that the PS and BS were ridiculously hard. I took many FL exams including the AAMC and must say that the level of difficulty was above any AAMC exam. Also, the BS was very organic and experiment based with hardly any physiology. I am very disappointed with my performance. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aKGDH Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I took the Sept 3rd 8 am exam and I agree that PS was pretty difficult. I've never had to flat out guess any questions but this time I had to for like 2 questions. BS was fine for me though -- only 1 orgo. Verbal was BRUTAL though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStill Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 My BS had 3 orgo passages. Usually verbal is very difficult and confusing for me, however I thought it wasn't that bad. Could be false security though. I am usually pretty decent at PS and BS; however, this exam was very convoluted. I wasted an incredible amount of time trying to understand what the passages were even about. Very disappointed and angry right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard todays had 3 orgo passages. Yes I had to flat out guess on two PS questions as well - never ever had that happen before. I didn't think the rest was as bad. Bio I felt was very tricky - i dont remember one passage on body systems....... Tough discretes on both science sections.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BumYiLee Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 10/9/11Q The I knew PS wouldn't be as high as I hoped it would be.. and I knew verbal was highly unpredictable.. and BS had hardly any orgo on it... Writing sample Q is good? Bad? Average? I don't even know.. So I guess its not much of a surprise.. These marks are too mediocre to be competitive in US or Canada right? Hope you guys had better results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~me~ Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 ^don't give me a heart attack...did you write on sept 4??????????? are you telling me they're out EARLY?? don't make me check, please do tell!

Violet Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 PS11/VR11/BS11 S ... well, that's actually exactly what I expected but lower than I hoped. Up from a 9/10/11 T last year. I feel a little stupid having spent another whole summer just on MCAT and only upping my score 3 points. There is no way I am rewriting yet again so I guess I'm stuck with the mediocrity I deserve.

If i knew i could do that, i'd be happy to put in a summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the encouragement, definitely needed it right now. My GPA was pretty terrible so I was sort of hoping a great score would help out in the states or Calgary. But I guess I gave it my all this time around and meeting the cut offs at Western is nice. Hope everyone else's turned out alright! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope everyone else's turned out alright! for calgary your WS makes a BIG difference for the mcat portion. I think you are at a 12 out of a max of 15 with that WS score. So thats amazing. I'm like you but probably alot worse in terms of GPA. MY first MCAT was 34R (BS-11, VR-9, WS-R, PS-14) so as you can see, the VR kills me. I'd gladly take your 33 so I could at least hit Queens. Your GPA cant be that bad if you make cuts for Western now can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafield Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Your GPA cant be that bad if you make cuts for Western now can it? Lol my cGPA is a 3.3, but I have a 3.9 for Western and Queen's.... I was a late bloomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
