Marty Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Well that was fun. I developed a headache midway through the writing section and it still hasn't gone away. Overall it wasn't too bad. Calculation heavy PS, good verbal, generic prompts, average BS with little orgo. I take it the system automatically saves your essays when you run out of time?

Yeah it automatically saves whatever you've written up until the time is up. I thought the Biological section was ridiculously easy, with exception to a few of the non-passage related questions. Writing Sample KILLED me though. I'm not expecting anything higher than an N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uvicstudent Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I thought for the most part it was pretty average in difficulty, although I did find the PS harder than the other sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thami Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I too thought the PS was difficult -- I ran out of time and there were definitely some blanks scattered about that I wasn't able to go back to. VR and BS I found fine, and the WS was "okay" overall. The second prompt stumped for a bit and by the time I had organized my thoughts I was running low on time! All in all...I am really glad it is over. I felt like I wasted an entire summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt.pepper Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I took the test also yesterday and can't believe PS took me that long to do. I don't know if I wasn't thinking as clearly as i usually do but i was getting 12-15 on the PS in aamc with 10 min left and this one i basically had to guess on a couple in order to finish. Did you guys think it had more calculations or was i just out o fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBP Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Lets continue this party for the depressed. 11-6-14 R (fked up enough?) Sorry to hear... This is my nightmare for my Sept 3 MCAT.

DeWinged Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Guess no point in getting shy around here, so I spill the beans. 10-BS, 8-VR, 10-PS, P-WR Everyone walked out of the test, commenting on how easy verbal was while I assumed fetal position in a dark corner suckling on my thumb and sobbed. I reenacted this scene today as well. During class. FML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 With a 3.9 that should be alright. Are you applying this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placenta Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 don't you have a chance at queens though? 30R. 10B 9V 11B. I'm assuming I should rewrite since the only Ontario schools i can apply to with that score are Ottawa, McMaster and UofT. Or would that with a 3.9 gpa be alright?

Synergist Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 10 PS / 10 VR / 11 BS / R WS Hoping for no 11 VR as a minimum this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diu12345 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Sorry to hear... This is my nightmare for my Sept 3 MCAT. How did you feel when came out of the test/VR section? I felt like there were 2-3 killer passages. But I thought that was normal because my other friends came out in previous exams thinking the same way. APPARENTLY NOT. This is my second time rewriting too (first was 9-9-11Q). Does any one know how do med schools (Canada and U.S.) look at multiple rewrites? Clearly I have to write again but it would be more comforting to know that they look at the latest score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
