FrenchToast Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 ^^^^^^^ ****! Is that an automatic J? Much love, Super-Panicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchEnemy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 No, not to worry. They'll still evaluate you on your Thesis & Antithesis. You might get penalized a little in the Synthesis portion, but it does not warrant a J score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savac Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 It is definitely not an automatic J, especially since this only (I'm assuming) happened on one essay. They have to grade the essay based on what you completed before you ran out of time. If you ran out of time at the end of your synthesis/resolution paragraph, it won't significantly change your score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taboo Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm guessing that an S is still possible, and an R if you do it on both essays. T with an incomplete sentence. http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?p=12928092#post12928092 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dassy Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Was cut-off mid sentence of my concluding line and still got an R for my writing. Don't be discouraged!! They know that it happens a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchToast Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks guys! The issue is that it is mid-sentence in the middle of the paragraph because I was super dumb and was trying to fix something. I thouuught I had enough time. But thank you guys so much for the encouragement. It helps so much and I really appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhK Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi I think I also did poorly on my writing section. I am going to rewrite 2013. However, Does anyone know how MCAT changes in 2013-2014(No writing sample) will affect someone who get below the cut-off in 2012 MCAT? I hope Medical School don't based their evaluation on writing section from previous MCAT since I don't think it is fair because there is no chance for improvement:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tberry3 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Awesome! Congrats I think the markers are generally understanding of this kind of thing. I always started my essays off with a few lines of short notes, outlining what I'd be writing each paragraph about, but they were extremely rough and devoid of punctuation/grammar/etc. I meant to erase them before hitting "submit", but left them in by accident on my actual MCAT because I was stressed out and used up every possible second writing. I ended up with a T, so it seems like they're willing to overlook things that are obviously silly mistakes as long as your actual essay is still good!
