Apixaban85 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Posted August 1, 2010 So, anyone else feeling lucky? How's the studying going for fellow writers on August 13?
numero0121407 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Posted August 1, 2010 Surely better than studying for us the Aug 5th fellows gluck!
All_star Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Good luck to the August 13 people ! Quick question if anyone knows: If we finish the PS section with say 10 minutes to spare, can we use that time towards our break to extend it to 20 minutes? The reason I am asking is that I may need that time to look at myself in the mirror and give myself a prep talk about why I should not kill myself after doing the Verbal Section. Thanks for answering my serious question and ignoring the side details by not calling the help line . Furthermore, anyone else taking a break tomorrow and just chilling? I personally am probably going to go see a movie, maybe The Other Guys ... looks funny. Be a good cheer .
changster Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Surely better than studying for us the Aug 5th fellows gluck! Haha you never know, maybe we'll all end up with fantastic scores I can't wait for Sept 7th!

Haha that's hilarious, I'm not sure if you can extend the break like that though I do like your train of thought! I'm probably going to do 1-2 verbal passages in the high afternoon + scan through some orgo rules and just look at the physics equations By 5-6pm everything shall be halted!

I'm pretty sure you can just leave the timer going after you've answered your last PS question and it'll automatically go into break time. But if it was anything like the PS I had today then I doubt it. I got to the last 3 non-passage questions with 45 seconds left on the clock and had to guess on one of them
Lezesh Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Good luck tomorrow everyone. See all you Edmontonians at the Ramada.
Apixaban85 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Posted September 13, 2010 Did anyone get their score yet? Nope nothing yet
Hoote Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 I believe the tentative release date is Sept 14 after 5pm. Let's hope. I am going crazy.
PaedsDoc Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 I believe the tentative release date is Sept 14 after 5pm. Let's hope. I am going crazy. Yaa same here, just wana know it already! Last year I actually got it a day early, so i wouldnt rely on their 5pm deadline
Hoote Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 So if the score isn't avail at 5pm, could it be avail like 3 hours later...or is it 5pm or nothing till the next day?
ghostgirl123 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 They are out.... 11/10/11, P... I know the P will probably keep me out of Queens, but what about other schools? (I'm SWOMEN) Is it me or are the writing scores (as seen posted on this site) on the low side?
Apixaban85 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Posted September 14, 2010 They are out....11/10/11, P... I know the P will probably keep me out of Queens, but what about other schools? (I'm SWOMEN) Is it me or are the writing scores (as seen posted on this site) on the low side? 9 VR/12 PS/13 BS/R - 34R I thought I would score much lower on the writing sample. That 9 VR is going to sting like a *****
RiceWine Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 9 VR/12 PS/13 BS/R - 34R I thought I would score much lower on the writing sample. That 9 VR is going to sting like a ***** were you able to predict your verbal score after the exam?
anna8 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 First time to write: 9PS/10VR/10BS R. I dunno how I should feel about this, is this even okay?
GGGSaint Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 9 VR/12 PS/13 BS/R - 34R I thought I would score much lower on the writing sample. That 9 VR is going to sting like a ***** I feel your pain bud. A 12/9/12/R for me last year was annoying as hell in Canada. First time to write: 9PS/10VR/10BS R. I dunno how I should feel about this, is this even okay? Actually, this is the best breakdown you can hope for with a 29. PS gets least importance at all schools. Not sure what the minimum cumulative at Queens was this year, but a decent shot at an interview there along w/ Mac (CASPER dependent), UT (made all soft cutoffs, GPA dependent), and maybe Western if the verbal goes down. + Ottawa is a go if your weighted GPA over last 3 years is 3.85+. Not a bad situation to be in w/ regards to in province.

Queens and Western require a 30... Last year, westerns cutoffs were 9/10/11 so if the verbal goes down, BS or PS will go up.
filter105 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Posted September 15, 2010 I had a dream, my score wasn't good. as soon as I woke up, I logged in and looked for August and lowest score!!! out of many attempts. But, it was my first MCAT from few years ago whew... all day, I was anxious and finally I checked it...just now. Everything stayed the same. even verbal...9 . Only my writing improved. What the hell? fml! Now I have S in my writing with everything mediocre and f* verbal. Why? Why? Why????? I am happy that I didn't drop in bio or physics, but verbal 09 is hurting me.
nikki dale Posted September 15, 2010 Report Posted September 15, 2010 i'm pretty happy that i dont have to retake although i'm afraid my verbal will keep me out of queens and western (and mcmaster!) 10 v 12 p 13 b S
HBP Posted September 15, 2010 Report Posted September 15, 2010 i'm pretty happy that i dont have to retakealthough i'm afraid my verbal will keep me out of queens and western (and mcmaster!) 10 v 12 p 13 b S Queens has never been an 11 for VR. Your score should be solid for Queens. Who knows about UWO, but lets all hope they go back to the reasonable 10.
anna8 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks GGGSaint! Yeah I might have to pass on Queens and UWO since I'm almost sure my MCAT won't cut it. Thanks for your input though! Here's hoping my MCAT mark is fine for UBC! Actually, this is the best breakdown you can hope for with a 29. PS gets least importance at all schools.

Sometimes when things stay the same is indicative that there is something in your technique that you have to change. Have you tried different approaches each time - did you find what works best for you? How were you doing in the practice AAMCs? Reflect, and don't stress - stressing won't make things better.
