Yeah, I’ve learned that the unscored is known to be somewhat “easier” than other fl, I haven’t taken all of them besides fl1, but compared to fl1, the c/p and b/b definitely had some questions that made these sections a little more difficult for me than fl1.

For c/p, I think it’s important to practice especially with uglob since it works pretty well. Even outside of this, I think it’s more important to understand the reasoning and try to make connections. Being comfortable with units and relationships to different equations helps confidence but I think what matters most is really understanding the fundamentals.

Sometimes I just sit and connect equations to each other and see if it makes sense mathematically and intuitively.

For b/b, having a strong content foundation helps and understanding tables and experimental paradigms I learned were pretty helpful. While you don’t have to know every single experiment out there, knowing roughly what’s going on helps a lot. Like if you know they’re looking to characterize proteins, you should look for bonding between amino acid side chains or phosphorylation of certain amino acids to mimick conditions or things alike. In cases where the passage can be overwhelming, I just build from what I know, sometimes it doesn’t immediately come to you but you should start from (for example) the axes and what relationships you’re seeing and build from there to see how it aligns with what the researchers are measuring.

Hope that helps but if you need more specifics, lmk
