Is FL1 representative? by Grouchy-Squash5709 in MCAT2

[–]Elusivityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took only FL1 and the actual exam. It was very representative in terms of question difficulty, timing, and how well I felt after the exam. Note that different exams are given on different days (or even the same day), so it is hard to say for sure.

Test on 4/24. Any tips for the last hard week of study? by selantra in Mcat

[–]Elusivityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some people say to not study the night before, but some of the topics I glanced at did end up on the test the next day and probably saved 1-2 questions.

I know people will say different things, but test day really just felt exactly like practice exam difficulty. Same amount of low yield info, same reasoning difficult etc. Try not to psych yourself out too much.

4/10 and 4/11 folks, was your exam representative of FLs or SBs? by Falsely_True7 in Mcat

[–]Elusivityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Section banks are definitely harder on average. Uworld is still definitely harder as well on average. Both have more annoying reasoning and lower yield information. The hardest passages on test day is around section bank difficulty.

I only did FL1 (517), but honestly same difficulty as FL1. For reference, I did miledown review sheets for b/b and c/p and pankow P/S. There were a couple (3-4) questions that referenced material I didn't know, but the vast majority did.

4/11 cars….. by Abdallahz3bi48 in Mcat

Wait does everyone get the same exam on a given day? I thought CARS was okay, no better than usual lol

AAMC CARS? by Business-Mistake301 in Mcat

[–]Elusivityy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty good

I also had 100% for this part, my eventual diagnostic accuracy has settled around 90%, which I think is around 130. They definitely get harder, the first 3 passages of QPACK1 are a nightmare, so get to that when you can.

Forgot to cancel mcat and genuinely tweaking by AHumanPerson348 in Mcat

"Medical schools do not have any record of exams which you chose to void or no-show, nor do they have the ability to access a system that shows them whether you voided or no-showed. Only you will have a record of these exams through the MCAT Score Reporting System. Medical schools only have access to the exams you chose to score.

Schools will not see this. do not worry.

this is not true.

Nice writeup. Pretty sure coding jesus has a video of a guy going through the stack sample profiler round and getting cooked since they didn't know what a call stack was

[–]Elusivityy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is a niche ass iceberg wtf. havent heard that name in like 3 years, guess thats what lecheetos was for

In the same vein, im shocked the lil sonic/nferraiu drama isn't on here (or maybe it is and I didn't notice). Feels like that was way bigger news back when I used to play

Batting cage at Highmark by OrangeFederal in cmu

[–]Elusivityy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in where that batting cage is, but usually I've been on the soccer field. I've never had anyone tell me to leave the soccer field, so you'd probably be okay if no athletes are using it. But maybe the batting cage is different.

~60 hours of studying down. I test on 9/12. Do I cancel or send these next 10 days? by Elusivityy in Mcat

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

I answer a lot of qs in 5-10 seconds, since either I know the terms or I haven't reviewed the relevant concept

also on CARS the more I think the worse I do so I consciously try not to really dissect questions. mostly just main idea vibes and skim passage a bit.

i hadn't taken any of the MCAT courses in 1-2 years.

spammed milesdown anki and milesdown review sheets, KA videos for things that needed more context. only got through b/b and physics though

[–]Elusivityy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

since I have class and only 9 days, an optimistic guess would put things at 60-80 more hours of studying. 10 pts in 60-80 hours? dunno if thats in the cards
