What attempt? 3. Your Practice Score Range: 4. What you used to Study: I'll start: 1.

What attempt? 2nd.

Guest kaymcee Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 1. Score: 32Q (PS 11, VR 10, BS 11) 2. What attempt? This was my first (and last) attempt. 3. Your Practice Score Range: I was getting between 30 and 33 on most everything (3R, 4R, 5R, 6R, ExamKrackers 1g). 4. What you used to Study: ExamKrackers. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend them for students with a background in sciences. It tells you what you need to know, and only what you need to know. (When it gives you more than what the MCAT expects, it explicitly states so.) It's definitely a "refresh your memory" rather than a "learn from scratch" method. And way to go arjuna83 and antisera!

Guest leviathan Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 My initial maniacal excitement has dwindled, but I'm still happy and chugging back a beer! PS - 10 VR - 11 BS - 11 Writing - Q 32Q I had absolutely no idea how I was going to do, so I'm VERY relieved...I almost started to cry from relief / happiness.

Guest Scholastica Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 PS: 11 VR: 9 BS: 12 Writing: Q 32Q This was my 2nd attempt. My first MCAT scores were just laughable - 9/4/9/P. I took a princeton review course (way better than Kaplan in my opinion. I had amazing teachers...) and bought an Examcrackers verbal 101 and practiced verbal almost every day. After all, 4->9 is a great imrpovement. heehee My practice test scores weren't that great or even consistent. I used to get low/mid 20s in June/early July 8o and I started to get 30s in late July/early August. But before the actual MCAT, I took 10 days off from work and studied... maybe that helped?

Guest Yangzie Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hey yall, Came back home at around 11:30 and checked. Pretty happy with score 33Q: PS: 11 (was very surprised considering I thought it was much tougher than the practices) VR: 9 BS: 13 Q It was my first attempt and probably my last as well Took PR course while doing an NSERC...summer was a lot of work...much more stressful than academic years. I did pretty mediocre in practices-scores consistently fell b/w 28-30...and VR rarely got above a 9. I did hardcore VR for 3 days prior to writing...didn't even look at sciences, but it certainly paid off since 9 is the cutoff point for most med scoos. Highly recommend PR to those of you who enjoy the competitive atmosphere...it made it that much more bearable. Congratulations to all of you who are happy with your marks. Also, don't give up hope to those who who will be rewriting! It can be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dayne67 Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 1. I got 30O (10PS, 10V, 10 BS). 2. This was my second attempt. My first time around I got 26N (10PS, 7V, 9BS), and it totally crushed my chances of even getting an interview. 3. My practice scores were between 30-33 on AAMC and Kaplan practice tests. 4. I used Kaplan and AAMC materials. I did seven Kaplan tests. I did AAMC tests (4-8). I also did Kaplan's seperate verbal reasoning tests, which I thought were more similar to the AAMC materials and the actual MCAT verbal section than their comprehensive tests. I am happy with my score. A four point improvement is pretty good IMO. And I increased my verbal score by three points with all that extra hard work.

Guest antisera Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 To add, this was my first attempt. I used the Kaplan study book & purchased the AAMC exams. I studied about an hour a day for May - July and then studied as much as I could after work throughout August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fizz29 Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 1. Score: 34S VR 10 BS 12 PS 12 2. What attempt? Second attempt. I am very excited since last year my score was 25R (VR 8, BS 9, PS 8) 3. Your Practice Score Range: 32-38 4. What you used to Study: AAMC exams, Kaplan exams, Kaplan review notes, and textbooks. I spent about 2 months going through all the material cited by AAMC for the exam and then for about a month and a half, I just did exams. I think the key to my drastic improvement was the thousands of practice questions I did before the exam. The first time I took the MCAT, I basically only studied.

Guest starry234 Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hey, I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad about my score. Its kind of bittersweet. 1. My score: 28R VR 9 BS 11 PS 8 2. What attempt? First attempt. 3. Your Practice Score Range: 27-30 4. What you used to Study: I took the Kaplan course. I studied from AAMC exams, Kaplan exams, Kaplan review notes, and ExamKrackers Verbal 1001 passages. I'm upset about verbal because I usually got 10-11 in my practice tests. PS I knew would be bad but I'm glad it isn't any lower than this. Meh! What's done is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
