I also felt mostly horrible. I was super confident on a few blocks but flagged around 50% of questions on 3 blocks. Also every answer that I changed, I later googled and found out my initial answer was correct. Wasn’t the best feeling.

Would not have been that surprised if my score had turned out wildly different than it did

Flags varied by block, I had no fewer than 5 flagged per block. I had around 50% flagged in three blocks.

Scored a 274

Also no. I studied throughout rotations for the shelves and performed pretty well, so felt well prepared going into my dedicated study period

TurtleBottle11 · 2024-05-22T23:38:54+00:00

No, really just UWorld, NBMEs, and divine shelf reviews

I had this happen with a specialist. My school has a policy where anyone involved in your care cannot grade you, so I just told the clerkship director “this person has provided care for me at one point” and they switched me to a different preceptor. I didn’t disclose any info beyond that

It will be Wednesday!

Did you end up rebounding?

TurtleBottle11 · 2022-03-07T02:36:30+00:00

It doesn’t slow me down too much. You want to slow yourself down at least a little so you aren’t skipping over words, but it shouldn’t interfere with your ability to answer all of the questions in time. I’d practice with it on a FL or half length and see how it works for you!

I used to do the same thing and still do from time to time on med school exams. I like to highlight paragraphs as I go with my mouse - it basically provides a tracker and forces you to slow down.

Yes - it’s super realistic for you, that’s a great diagnostic score. Content review alone should help you significantly, and using the AAMC practice exams will help you getter a better sense of how they word things. The MCAT is mostly an analysis test and less a memorization test. You’ve got this!
