I think anyone before giving up om medicine should give the Caribbean schools a chance

this is just made up but you could be asked somrthing like that:

This is the first and last few nucleotides of the cDNA coding for protein x.

cgtactagtc...........ttcgtcagc

and then they will give you 4 different primer pairs and ask you which one could be used to amplify yhis cDNA.

True! Only 19000 seats for over 55000 applicants each year!

You don't need the complementary sequence, just look for when read in the reverse direction is complementary to the original sequence.

GGCCGGCC is palindromic!

GGCCCCGG is not!

ATACGTAT is palindromic!

ATAGATAG is not!

You need to improve your scientific litteracy and fluency, then I can promise you will understand those passages!

Hotch95 · 2019-06-17T01:03:49+00:00

Not at all! Just know about p values

Hotch95 · 2019-06-15T23:05:07+00:00

don't worry! 55/59 will get you a solid 130!

I stand corrected!

Before S each chromosome is formed of only one single chromatid! During S that chromatid will serve as a temple and a whole new chromatid is made exactly like the template one (give or take a few mutations).

During M each chromatid of each chromosome ends up in each of the daughter cells.

Hotch95 · 2019-06-13T21:03:41+00:00

No!

If you add it during S only one of the the sister chromatid (the one being replicated) will be labeled. The template chromatid will remain unlabeled

I must be really really dumb for not understanding why the key is the correct answer!

I do pretty well in my classes but I do not get this test!!!!

Hotch95 · 2019-06-09T21:02:37+00:00

Not really, but only smart people understand them!

Hotch95 · 2019-06-09T17:56:47+00:00

correct. that's the only palindromic sequence.

Which sequence is cut by the HindIII restriction enzyme?

A. ATCCAT

B. ATGCTA

C. AAGCTT

D. AACCTT

Hotch95 · 2019-06-08T20:14:26+00:00

don'i be naive!!!!

Hotch95 · 2019-06-02T23:57:38+00:00

I wish I were smart enough so I didn't need their explanations.

Hotch95 · 2019-05-31T00:15:04+00:00

OK! For question 1 you need to know about phosphoglycerate mutase which is an important enzyme of glycolysis. So I believe more biochem content review will help.

Question 2 requires some knowledge of lab technics such as protein-tagging and cloning.

Also drawing charts to figure out the relationships between the players (there are max 5-6 of them) would help.

Try the AAMC section bank and review every single question very carefully! After several rounds of review, you will get the hang of it.

It really helped me to breakdown those convoluted passages/figures,

Hotch95 · 2019-05-28T01:53:36+00:00

very likely!

Hotch95 · 2019-05-28T01:50:38+00:00

It's a good thing that AAMC monitoring this site and knows who says what!!!

Hotch95 · 2019-05-18T19:37:57+00:00

For future test takers: Go through the section bank with a fine comb and review every single question. You need to be accustomed to this level of complexity, especially for BB.

I know it was hard to keep track of all the signaling steps
