MCAT Try One


I don't know if I will end up having to take the MCAT again, but it feels good to have it done for now....We celebrated by treating ourselves to a dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Chris sauntered around a mall down in Chesapeake, while I took my test for five hours. How many husbands would be chill with that responsibility?! I am a lucky girl.
It did not go as well as I would have hoped. My biggest struggle in practicing was having such little time allowed on the test. I often ran out of time when taking practice tests and so this was one of my major concerns. It was very unfortunate that 15 minutes into the test, I had an emergency! I needed to leave and run for the restroom as soon as possible! When entering the testing room, I was instructed that if we needed assistance, we were to raise our hand and wait for someone to come to our aid. So I sat with my hand in the air, breaking into a sweat in fear that my emergency would not wait any longer, and tried as best I could to focus on chemistry and physics. I waited for 15 minutes with my hand in the air!! I couldn't take it. I was not able to focus and I could not continue until I had visited the restroom. I got up and left, clock on my test ticking. They followed protocol and took my identification and had me sign out upon exiting, I raced to the restroom, and when I came back, I was to sign back in, take my finger print again, and be scanned with the scanner thing..all while my clock was ticking. Sadly, I ended up having to guess on a large portion of that section.
We ran into a major traffic delay on the way home. Chris and I were bored and tired and ready to be home.
I then had that to think about the last four hours of the test...But I did it and if needed, I will do it once more, but for now, I am putting faith in this score, and I will be submitting my applications as soon as possible. 

This is how ended up passing the time. I'm always wanting to time to learn more about my camera and this was a perfect opportunity...
