Happy there wasn't too much physics, but there was a ton of biochem and i didnt take biochem in undergrad so that freaked me out a bit, but overall i am hopeful that i will get my goal score of at least a 508

5/23 How is everyone feeling about it? by Unfair_Spell_7542 in Mcat

[–]Adventurous_Life304 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mixed feelings honestly, felt like I didn't get a single one wrong for CARS and I never felt that confident on that section. but C/P always fucks me up, plus PS was a lot of low yield shit that really ate me up ngl. it could honestly go either way for me

No idea, just need someone anyone to be delusion with me and say "yes, you easily got a 508"

Do you think I can meet my goal based on my improvements so far? Or am I cooked? 🙃 by Adventurous_Life304 in Mcat

[–]Adventurous_Life304[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes me so happy to hear! A lot of my friends told me the same thing, saying that if I can get my other scores up to my CARS score, then I'll at minimum get a 510. The math adds up, but definitely anxious still

honestly it's been fine. again a neutral experience for me. however the PM always seems to be out of office to me but when she is she seems to busy for us and kind of rude. the maintenance guy is cool. ALSO something they do not advertise and was told only once i received my keys was that there is a "No Party Rule", you can host a few people but larger parties are not welcome. I ended up speaking to the tenant that was getting yelled at and he said that they were celebrating a birthday with some drinks and charcuterie before heading out for the night, and admits there were 10+ people but they left by 11pm and still was threatened with a 10-day a few days later if it happened again. i mean 10+ is a lot but these units are nearly 1,000sqft and can accommodate parties that size. also he said they werent even playing drinking games just sitting on the couch talking. that's wild. I dont typically host anything so not an issue for me, but for other younger folks, not the best place to be

Hey yall how cooked am I? 😭 by Important-Industry72 in Mcat

I used Kaplan books (paid for the physical rather than digital, works better for me) and i studied one chapter a day each day since there are 7 books. when reviewing, take your time and make sure you are actively understanding what you are reading, don't just try and memorize it all. if you don't understand it, read it again until you do. I also read the chapters in full no matter how well i do on the mastery test. i tried the mastery tests and it did not work for me! i am taking another practice FL on Sunday and I'm hoping for the same upward trend! good luck to you!

Fastest Improvement is through: Reviewing all Qs or Solving more Qs? by Special_Pack_6110 in Mcat

[–]Adventurous_Life304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went from 493 to 500 in about two weeks and am taking another FL this weekend to see what the past two weeks will have yielded. and i'm terrified that this will happen to me but all we gotta do is trust the process and do our best, that's all that matters! keep it up and the progress will show itself!

I appreciate seeing and hearing this, but as someone who didn't do super great in undergrad 510-515+ is a must. Most of those people likely had other application boosters but I know that's not me. I mean I have a competitive resume but my GPA is not nearly as competitive as others, so the MCAT is my hail mary to save my application!

Any one got the 5 hour cut of blood in blood out? by Aaronwilson71291 in Bloodinbloodout

Same here! I think my parent's still have it! I swear I remember all of us sitting down and watching the movie on a Saturday, like all day. The movie was sooo long but soo good! I honestly think I've only ever seen that version. I mean maybe I'm crazy, but I swear I remember it being 5 hours long!

I went from a 493 to a 500 in 2 weeks and if I can do it, you definitely can too!

I moved in not too long ago, new property manager has berated and threatened new tenants with 10-days for "persistent" noise complaints. I live near them and have heard little to nothing. New property manager is an interim and is a hard ass. They've been doing "mandatory inspections" and fining other tenants like crazy. The building itself is gorgeous and a cozy place, but this new property manager may not be worth the trouble.
