i overheard this indian girl talking about her MCAT scores today...

[skim milk]

she was on the phone telling someone.... she got a 10 in verbal, 8 in physical science.... and a 3 in biology.... final score of 21...

she also said she is aiming for a 39 .... hmmm

is MCAT really this hard? I don't know if i want to go med school or do something else... but i'm just curious.

 

[skim milk]

i guess no medical students here?

 

[ggavinmoss]

Not a med student, but a 3 is pretty damn low... my friends who've taken it say it's a really taxing exam.

I think it's a 45

15 max on each section

 

[Broohaha]

max is 45.

one of my friends got 30. one got 34. the two chicks who shared valedictorian in my HS got 38 and 36.

3 is pitiful.

 

[illustri]

32 with 9 in bio (yea no sleep night before ==> half asleep on last section, bio)

its not hard, its hard to DO BETTER than the other thousands of bright people competing against you

 

[Ocuflox]

thats terrible. my friends all scored in 30s.

 

[Kenazo]

and did a 32 land you a seat in a med school?

thats sweet, did he take any prep courses,
i did kaplan cuz i was so removed from the lower division subject matter covered on the mcat, a big help in helping me i thought

 

[Jejunum]

i got a 30; but i suck at bio :/ ill probably retake it in april

It's too bad this test needs to exist. It's not a requirement in Canada in a couple of schools, but almost the rest want it.

It is probably the most difficult standardized test in existence, so yeah it is kinda hard.
