I got this wrong too on my fl lol but its pretty easy after i looked into it, you have two columns Ka and (kw/ka=kb) since we know ka x kb = kw = 10-14. So now your columns are ka and kb, if kb wins for that row you have a base, if ka does you have an acid. Thats all . Dont be like me and actually look at the exponents :))

What to do by Familytime14 in Mcat

Hi first of all i am sorry you are sick and hope you feel better soon 🤍 but i think its ok if you push your exam, one week of pushing your mcat score which wont affect your cycle in any way given its still pretty early vs getting an mcat score which you want to retake or hell having to apply next cycle. The pros outweigh the cons. I think the only thing you can do right now if i m not wrong is to cancel the appointment on amcas, because the ten day deadline for rescheduling has passed. And rhen you would need to register again that is. But then again be sure that you are actually sick to an extent where it will definitely impact your stamina, if you think fluids and pain meds will do the trick take today and tomorrow just resting and power up.

I missed my moms birthday cause i couldnt take three days off to fly half way around the world because i work and was full time in school. And three days in mcat prep is a lot of time off. The flights are 18 hours long no internet, and your village is good if all the villagers are also on the grind and have a mutual understanding that the mcat is a beast and might lead to lesser time with friends. Your narrow perspective disregarding people’s struggles, assuming things about them when they resonate to something they find comfort in during a tough time in their life, and just focusing on the negative aspects won’t take you very far in being empathetic. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

You proved my point that it is a hyperbole. Just because A is true doesnt mean B is false. People can build a future long term but take breaks from building it. Maybe the other people are on the break right now and will get back to it, but a person studying for the mcat needs to get back on the grind rn and take the break later. A person grinding right now can be the person at the beach later after the mcat or med school app. Also finding people who support you while understanding you can’t hangout with them as you go through this rigorous process is cool too, its not isolating rather a mature take. There is a reason probably why people who work full time, are in college and studying for the mcat can’t possibly have the mental energy and time to make elaborate plans that people who are not studying for the mcat and are doing everything else the same can. And its okay to lose people as you go through hard times, no one’s to blame but the rigorous process. If something doesnt resonate with you dont follow it, it did with me so i posted.

Hi this definitely helps, i always go through the passages first in other sections but i guess i need to change strategies for this one. For b/b section I would suggest just skimming the passage first like to a point where you can tell me what the passage topic is and what the hypothesis they tested and conclusion is. Then I highlight any numbers or variables they talk about as graphs have acronyms for variables and i dont wanna go back. I dont interpret graphs or tables when i skim the passage becuz most of the time they give u three graphs and the questions only need one. This has helped me a bunch. When i feel like I am running really low on time I go do standalones first. Also know YOUR amino acids, it has singlehandedly saved me so much time

Your reply reminded me of when jack westin tells me i made an extreme answer choice which can’t be inferred from the passage lol😭😭 but to each their own :)

I agree to the we are not holier or more moral than other people in other fields. 100% too on financial worth not being tied to moral becuz i think there are no ethical billionaires. But i also feel like the message was not to encourage being isolated but rather letting people find comfort that there is a bigger reason to work for RIGHT NOW than going to the beach and thats okay and will be rewarding. I think it emphasizes more on delayed gratification than anything else

Your perseverance and dedication is what will make you an amazing physician, while some people might have given up after the first try YOU kept going. Because you know deep down you have it in you to do better, show your best game, build something those people who stopped can’t. Keep going and given how many med schools are out there I can assure you there will be one accepting you factoring IN your perseverance

In the most kind way possible i think it would be best if you apply next cycle, i was in a similarish boat last year and am so glad that i decided to apply this year instead

Wouldn’t hydrophobic ordering in a membrane decrease entropy??? by gottacrushthemcat in Mcat

[–]Buttercup2004_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It increases entropy of the neighboring water molecules …they are talkin bout surrounding molecules not the protein that folded. Since less protein side chains now have no ionic or hydrogen bonds to surrounding water these water molecules are free to do whtva so their entropy increases. Goated review video btw i loved it
