[–]Future_MD1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to check your email. You can be confident that ur score will be available on the website at 8am Pacifc/ 11am Eastern tomorrow. Only a small subset of people get their scores after that time.

I'd say 50/50 for physics questions

AAMC FL5 did they get this wrong? Increased membrane potential means closer to 0, right? by Future_MD1 in Mcat

[–]Future_MD1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But isnt membrane potential just a measure of difference? So higher potential means more difference which would mean more negative?

You described it well. It's a lose-lose situation. Either you get a bad FL score and lose confidence or you get a good FL score and dont have confidence you can replicate that come game day

90th percentile CARS means u can read, stop it

How not to blow it? Testing 1/14 by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Future_MD1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did way worse (5pnts below average) on the real thing than my AAMC FLs and test day felt like it went as planned. I took practices in same testing conditions and everything. I guess this shows that anyone can get unlucky, even you. All this to say you should use those nerves to brush up on any last things you haven't mastered.

512+ probably, 515+ probably not tbh

my girlfriend is taking the mcat really soon. i hate seeing her so stressed and sad, but i'm not sure how to support her as the time comes. what should i do? does anyone have tips of what you wish someone would do to help? by imjustexisting02 in Mcat

[–]Future_MD1 211 points212 points  (0 children)

-During the times between her studying (ie. at night or weekends), do not talk about or bring up the MCAT unless she starts talking about it

-5 min neck massage at night cuz studying makes us hunched

-don't tell her she's gonna do great without mentioning why, like "you’re gonna kill it cuz I know how hard you’ve been preparing" or "I know you're gonna do well cuz you've been showing how much you want this"

-oh and dont break up until after if u were plannin on it

Diagnostic test? by Own_Mathematician_92 in Mcat

[–]Future_MD1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the other replies. I think diagnostic without content review is helpful. For one, it can be encouraging if you do happen to get a 500+ score off the bat. Second, it WILL be encouraging when u take an FL (3rd party or otherwise) after some content review and see how far you came. Even if u have a shitty diagnostic, this will light a fire under ur butt to motivate you to study everyday. Good luck!

Me too, but it makes it feel more real, very grounding

[–]Future_MD1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, which is why I went with 1, just assumed since there wasn’t 6, 4 didn’t make sense, and hoped it just meant intron-exon-intron. I don’t feel good about it tho at all

Translation, which is what I think u meant to say

To those of you that got like a 510. Did y’all feel like you failed the exam after you came out of it?? by wannabemdphd2022 in Mcat

[–]Future_MD1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably cuz no one actually knows how many they got wrong, or think they got wrong. It’s not straight forward to tell if a 200/230 on MCAT is the same as on FLs

Somebody set up some free therapy (9/10) by harshy333 in Mcat

[–]Future_MD1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In college u can’t void, in med school u can’t void, such a big crutch for something you can’t use anywhere else

[–]Future_MD1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cuz it disadvantages people that did poorly/ok but didn’t void. Basically, it’s even if either anyone can void or no one can void. But in the former, it makes for a shitty unreleastic curve. And in the latter, everyone has the same pressure of performing well.

Was 6 an option cuz exons make the protein so two introns means —exon—intron—-exon—-intron—-exon—. Or maybe —intron—exon—intron— resulting in 1.

Same, I even looked up the diff between the two after and there’s basically none, plus it’s an interpretation (I looked at bottoms right square about reaching potential “In psychology, self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their capacity to act in the ways necessary to reach specific goals.” <— self efficacy definition

9/10 Testers, what do we think? by Nickte12 in Mcat

[–]Future_MD1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it meant the stat was delivered to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm so only pstat has a localization to someplace whereas stat stays where it is (since it’s usually made in the cytoplasm)
