MCAT OVER!!!!

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

I took my MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) on Thursday September 10th because I didn’t have a good experience on July 17th, I fell ill the night before and wound up only having 2 hours sleep prior to it – it is a VERY dense complicated exam that takes 5 hours to go through and I had a HUGE disadvantage – I scored it nonetheless because how would I ever have known how I did unless I scored it – so I chose to score it – you always have the option of voiding your exam. I pray that with a decent night’s sleep prior to this last exam and some extra studying I was able to attain a score that will allow me the opportunity to be considered a serious candidate at a US Medical School (Preferably a FL one!) I will find out my destiny on October 13th when the scores are released. I hope I am pleasantly surprised as I didn’t come out of the exam feeling anything less than beat up and defeated, I certainly did not feel like I did well at all – but time will tell and there’s no point in trying to speculate. Meantime I have a lot of studies to complete and grades to secure this semester. It’s hard to believe I will be graduating UCF this Spring with my BS degree!

MCAT – Take Three…

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Well here I go again – not like it’s unfamiliar territory – so Thursday’s exam ought to at least be familiar to a seasoned pro like me ;-) I can honestly say that at least I am blessed enough to get another crack at it – so MCAT – here I come – my last “ole’ college try” is on it’s way. I’ve had obstacles in my path for the other ones so hopefully this time it will be smooth sailing. I know for sure I will at least get a night’s rest before the next exam and hopefully my health will keep improving (came home sick from the cruise and been working on getting rid of this cough ever since!) to perfection so that my last MCAT writing will be a real honest reflection of my true capabilities, after all that’s all any of us ask isn’t it? Wish me luck – MCAT slayer in action :-)
