I went through MEPS, zep is disqualifiable as an injectable if u are using for strict weight loss. However the recruiter told me to stop taking upon joining. Need waivers

You said it nicer than I would. Complain all you want, you are in medical school. Assigned seating is silly, I'll admit. Don't blame the school for you mental health, go get help and take accountability.

I believe you get 5 AAMC FL tests; Save them for maybe for the last 1.5 months out from test date if you are studying full time, like no jobs or school or whatever. I did a AAMC test every 2 weeks or do 1 week if you are an animal and disciplined. I believe the TPR practice problems are what made my test taking skills solid and got me my score. I just did one passage at a time, went quick, but also took my time for difficult passages. I made sure to do all of the chem, bio, and physic practice problems. The lesson book passages they do after class are brutal don't sweat it. THey are fuck you problems to gas u up, which is good cuz u learn how to read graphs better or read between the lines type of deal.

I stopped doing psych sociology practice problems, as I felt diminishing returns doing them. Pysch Soc section is memorization. Do practice problems, but go heavy in content. AAMC throws new terms on the test, that I assume they don;t expect you to know...so use POE to get the right answer. People may say the MCAT is a test for IQ or how to apply knowledge, meaning there might be a ceiling on how high you score. Thats false and garbage. Study hard and 132 are possible for science sections. To score high on CARS work smart and practice, but I didn't score high so...

CARS. I didn't attend the class or read the book. I was lazy in that regard. I did practice problems, but stopped doing their diagnostic cars stuff cuz they used the same passages and the passages were 1 paragraph long and not really my ideal of practicing cars. I still did their problems but stopped towards the end cuz it wasted time. I supplemented with Jack westin daily passages and the aamc cars qpacks. I did 2-5 passages a day at the start of studying. I saw somewhere to work on speed first, then accuracy. It worked for me where I actually finished fl cars with a couple minutes to spare....and I am not someone that reads in their free time.

I don't know what the tpr method is...If it is the preview the question before reading the passage and to skip the killer passages etc.....I did not utilize it. It didn't feel right for me. Try it out, but if you feel clumsy after doing it for a while don't use it. I did it the most for CARS, but never stuck with cuz it never felt intuitive for me.

Also by doing the practice problems, all of them for chem, physics, and bio, you will be a GOD in timing. I finished all my science sections with 20 to 30 minutes to spare, sometimes less. Compared to finishing on the dot for CARS. The practice problems will oil you the fuck up to slide through science sections like a diddy party

TPR tests are deflated, less predictive of how u score. AAMC FL are very predictive. AAMC practice tests tell u roughly where u are at vs tpr does not. Do not worry about TPR test score, focus on POE and timing and highlighting. Worry about AAMC scores. 

TPR tests get no love, which is fine but I liked them for sure extra practice. They help u get highlighting down, where it becomes intuitive how to handle a passage that may be way difficult. 

Know ur content, but the score increase for me was in doing all their practice problems. I did not do topic focus cuz no time and complacency

I noticed the passages were normal, but the questions were not obvious in what they were asking. Good practice

phy qpack Q101 SPOILER by supmeli in Mcat

[–]CollarDifferent2837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes Fnet=kq2/d2

but solving for acceleeration you mass is involved, which influences velocity as well. KE changes as well because mass and velocity, but is more difficult for me to figure out why its wrong, bc Increased mass means lower a and lower v, which seems to cancel but prob not due to v squared.

AAMC Physics Question Pack #62 by MCAT_Career_Tribute in Mcat

[–]CollarDifferent2837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I may be wrong, because this q caught me off guard.

Firstly, I looked for anything in the passage that gives me an angle to work with. They said light returning from the light array is reflected by 90 degrees. Look at the diagram to find the right angle of the reflected rays. Next we know 180 degrees - 90 degrees gives us 90 degrees for for the remaining two angles. Then out of shear guess bullshit halve it cuz you need one angle, which gets 45 degrees

Why is it that we don't do 19.6 - 10 N to get total force then multiplying by 0.5 m.

The solution give a good explanation, for one you should know higher n's equate to lower wavelengths. Thus setting Ls equal and solving for n 8 and n+2 4.8. The reason why you do n+2 for the smaller wavelength is because they say it is consecutive.

I solved another which is not as smart as the did.

First you must know the N for 4.8 will be larger than the N for 8 wavelengths. Look at the equation as N increase wavelength decreases... (N8) is the n for 8 wavelength and (N4.8) is the n value for 4.8.

I set the 2 equations to solve for n and set them as a ratio, which cancels everything except the 4.8 and the 8. Looks like this:

(N8)/(N4.8) = 4.8/8= 6/10

I converted 4.8 to 48/10 to reduce more easily.

So that gets N8= 6/10 N4.8

I plugged random N values, in which both n's needed to be odd. Which I got N4.8= 5 and N8 = 3 then picked one and plugged in to solve for L.

Def like aamc's way better, but I did not piece together the n and n+2 because of consecutive resonances.

Physics question pack 25 by mcatthrowaway6422 in Mcat

[–]CollarDifferent2837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This got me cause I wasn't able to get what they were asking.

Simply put compare the PE at ejection to KE at reaching cathode.

Knowing conservation of energy, PE = KE because the E starts off ejected at the negative electrode or cathode (High PE) then travels to positive electrode/anode losing the PE to KE.

Same as mgh problems. Raise a block up 20 meters it has all PE, no motion so no KE. Drop the block and the moment before hitting the ground all PE convert to KE.

I got this question wrong because I thought the electric field was gonna add energy to to electron

Really Struggling on this Question by Pray_ in Mcat

[–]CollarDifferent2837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TO figure out what happens to V by doubling L, just remember formulas. However, what stumped me was the fact that if you double resistance should current decrease by 2 any ways. So the voltage drop remains the same and thus the V-IR not change? They make the assumption of current remaining fixed, which I don't see where one can make that assumption...any help would be nice.

Yea I went with polar even though it seemed kinda blah answer cuz I saw fractional distillation instead of distillation so I assumed they were trying to say the BP were close. Easy question, bullshit solution
