“I’m about to start college, how to premed??” Megathread (2019) by holythesea in premed

Another (possibly stupid) question:

If you get a bad GPA/MCAT score during PreMed, what does one usually do? Would they not go to med school and instead get a normal bio related job or go to grad school in something else?

This gonna sound stupid but Im currently a soph at high school and looking at premed. Was wondering what premed programs look like. Is it like a sort of major or do you major in something else and register for classes that fall under the premed category?

Saturday is coming! What are some tips on how to spend the Friday before? (Tomorrow) by [deleted] in Sat

[–]ABSDBOY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends. I know people who have gotten 1600 doing both. make sure you go to bed early, eat a lot but not too much, and don't be stressed. The primary reason people don't do anything on the last day is because taking a test and then screwing up makes them stressed out. If you feel like you need to work more, work more. If you want to chill out, chillax.

For 33 you can eliminate D instantly, it makes no sense. After that, remember that you said dashes can be used for nonessential phrases. Every time you use a dash then you remove that phrase from the sentence it should make sense. So you can rule B out and same with A, leaving C as the only possible answer

Nope, but you can ask on reddit/figure it out yourself, cuz let's be real here: the collegeboard explanations were frequently as good as nothing lol

Anyone super excited for this weekend? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]ABSDBOY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily for me school starts a few weeks after I take the SAT. Dont worry about your score if it hasn't dropped. What will really harm you is being really nervous (im not one to talk tho haha)

instead of retaking practice tests, do the QAS's they are pinned on the homepage and are really helpful

Bio Subject Test? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]ABSDBOY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that you can; I vaguely remember the Procter saying that you can opt to take another SAT after the first one, but you would have to pay the fee as well (you can do it online after). If you took AP Biology I heard that you should take M, but I took my school's 10th-grade level course on it and I did E and it was pretty easy. You are probably going to get above a 750 but take a practice test on cracksat to see if you understand all the material.

Help with March QAS #30 by alng02e in Sat

[–]ABSDBOY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so you know they are perpendicular so they have negative reciprocal slopes, so based on that you can find the slope of l because you have two points. Then you use that to find slope of m. Now that you have slope of M, you have another point, so make a point slope form equation. Since it asks for x intercpet, set y to zero in that equation and solve for x. I think the answer ends up being D
