2.16) I heard that you can take the MCAT as "practice" but not have your score count. I could use the practice; is this a good idea?

No. At the end of the exam, you must decide whether or not to

you know you did poorly by some fluke; for example, if you filled in
all the bubbles incorrectly. Deciding not to release your scores on
a whim is not advisable.
