Almost everyone who took the MCAT has been there. You’re practicing passage upon passage for CARS and regularly taking FL exams, but you can’t get that score up.

If you have to retake the test, you're not alone. According to data released by the AAMC, thousands of students retake the test every year.

MCAT THx
The day after the MCAT, students begin The Dreaded Wait. That interminable 4-6 week period after the MCAT is over but before you get your scores back can feel like years.
