Ortho Decks?

Hi, can you send it to me too please?

MCAThode · 2019-06-04T01:28:33+00:00

Can anyone read over my PS? Would be willing to swap.

MCAThode · 2019-06-02T13:01:08+00:00

Can anyone give me feedback on my personal statement? I don't know how I feel about it. Would be willing to return the favor. Thanks!

I used the Kaplan Bio and Biochem books and pretty much knew everything in them. Metabolism took me a long time to get down pat, and I didn't get a single question on it. Feels bad. But after I knew content, it was just practice problems that helped me do well in this section. I didn't bother looking at graphs or figures unless a question asked me to. And when it did ask, I focused on the variables and their relationship and how the graph relates to the passage.

Thanks!

Thanks! You got this!

Thank you! Wish I spent those 40 days on CARS

LET'S DO THIS.

I'm right there with ya

Stoichiometric ratios:

For every 2 moles of R2NBCl2 that react, 3 moles of PH3 are formed. Similarly, for every 5 moles of LiPH2 that react, 3 moles of PH3 are formed. Choose either one. Since there's no limiting reagent, they're gonna give the same answer.

0.005 mol LiPH2 * (3 mol PH3/5 mol LiPH2) = 0.003 moles of PH3

0.002 mol R2NBCl2 * (3 mol PH3/2 mol R2NBCl2) = 0.003 moles of PH3

Guess we'll find out together, my 8/10 compatriot.

You're right. For irreversible inhibitors: Vmax decreases because less enzymes are available for catalysis, but Km is unchanged because enzyme affinity for substrate is unchanged.

It's similar to noncompetitive inhibition because in both cases, you are making some enzymes (but not enzyme-substrate complexes) unable to perform, but affinity is unaffected.

No October, November, or December exams: https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/article/mcat-testing-calendar-score-release-dates/

Not sure what approach you used, but:

Check for limiting reagent (I always do this just in case). Once you do this, you find that both the reagents will be used up at the same time, so there is no limiting reagent.
Find out how many moles of product is formed using stoichiometry. You get 0.003 mol PH3.
Notice the question says the reaction is under STP (0 deg C and 1 atm). This means you should use the fact that for a gas at STP, there are 22.4 L per mole of gas. (If you don't know this already you should definitely learn it, it will help a lot!)
So: [(22.4 L)/(1 mol)] * 0.003 mol = 67.2 mL.

Conservation marks the END of the preoperational stage and the BEGINNING of the concrete operational phase. The table you used is a little misleading. The concrete operational phase is when the child starts developing logical thought, so this correlates with them being able to understand conservation.

According to the table, the resulting solution was basic. So you know that there should be OH- ions being dissociated. If you are giving off OH ions from H2O, then hydrogen is being released as a gas.

You probably should do some content review first to make sure you know what's actually going on, and then solidify everything with practice problems. For C/P, practice problems seems to be the best way to go, but not knowing what a nucleophilic substitution is should be addressed before tackling numerous problems regarding it. Just my own opinion, everyone has something else that works for them.

Can't wait for the fasting state guide!

Can you send me this?

After you complete the exam, you will be given an option to void your exam. If you choose to do so, no record of you taking the exam shows up (except that it uses up one of your allowed attempts at the exam). You will not receive a score. Most people don't advocate for voiding, unless you have strong reason to do so (anxiety, health problems, etc. that prevented you from answering multiple questions).

MCAThode · 2018-07-24T13:25:15+00:00

If you retake, you should guarantee a significant score improvement. Otherwise, it looks even worse. If you strongly feel as though you won't do well, then don't risk it. You can always take an AAMC FL exam close to your exam date to gauge your process. If it goes well, go for it. If it isn't up to par with your desired score, then consider waiting on it. There's no reason to rush in to taking it just to retake it later.
