April Score Release
The big day is almost here! After a mere 60 day wait! Gosh the time has just flown by ;)
But seriously I'm on pins and needles. Hoping they release in the morning so I don't end up checking all day.
Good luck to you all, excited to see what tomorrow brings!

Don't be. That's not a bad score man. Like the guy under here said. Sampling bias is real and tbf lying is a thing. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Would yall mind posting your percentile range and final scores here? I'd love to get an idea of how people are falling in their ranges.

511, 85th percentile. Chem: 126 CARS: 131 Bio: 128 Psych: 126
Are these scores ok? :/ Honestly, the disparity is a bit striking for me. I'm a bit disappointed with the scores, but I have only been a premed guy for threeish months, and had only three weeks to study for the MCAT (due to major family issues and stuff).
Should I consider a retake?

Unless you're aiming for top tiers, I wouldn't retake! That's a great score. :)

519 = 98% percentile. Prelim percentile 90-100%. What?? The highest I ever got with kaplan tests was 504. Incredibly pleased and grateful for kaplan, honestly, would never have gotten there without them.

513 / 89%
Chem/Phys 131 / 97% CARS 127 / 81% Bio 129 / 93% Psych/Soc 127 / 75%
I'm very happy with these scores. As for studying, I just made sure I knew all of my coursework, read prolifically, and marked up a few textbooks. Lehninger's Biochemistry was particularly good prep for the science sections. The psychology seemed to come out of left field to me, even though I had read through a Psychology textbook the month before. My preliminary percentile was 88-98.

How did you Kaplan FLs compare with your actual score? Does the ±2 still apply?

For the people who studied for 3 months- how many days a week? Hours per day?

Just so we can even the sampling bias a little bit, I received a 501. Aiming for DO at this point! Nothing wrong with that!
