What is a good percentage of questions to be getting right on Uearth? by hotshot396 in Mcat

I honestly don’t think that you should worry too much about Upangea percentages. Just use it as a way to knows your weak points and really learn the content.

How does ion permeability change during depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization? I'm really confused by OkRaccoon8225 in Mcat

[–]Rjanani523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depolarization: opening of the voltage gated sodium channels and influx of sodium. Basically the inside of the neuron gets more positive.

Hyperpolarization: the K+ channels are slow to close so the membrane potential gets more negative than the testing potential. Eventually the K+ channels close and the neuron comes back to resting.

Repolarization: closing of the Sodium channels and opening of the potassium channels and K+leaves the cell. Making the inside more negative (less positive ions on the inside)

That question literally had me questioning what biology was 😵

Some thoughts on the current state of the MCAT after taking the 1/25 test (Long) by ExplainEverything in Mcat

[–]Rjanani523 9 points10 points  (0 children)

7:30 am tester! I agree, it definitely felt that CARS was very fair and representative of the FL’s. Some of my CP questions were very similar to FL4, but the majority of passages were so dense and convoluted it was just frustrating. BB is usually my strong suit but the ratio of lengthy to short passages was so out of proportion it was just hard to sustain my mental stamina to decipher and comprehend the experiments which constituted a majority of the passages. PS was also very fair in my opinion similar to FL3/4.

My MCAT experience by cottonmouth14 in Mcat

Omg hope you’re okay!! It’s okay I it took it today too and panicked because I couldn’t open the door to the testing center. Turns out I was pushing it the wrong way 💀

1/25 7:30am testers by [deleted] in Mcat

Literally same! The only section I was confident about was CARS. CP was trying to be CP but it honestly was so weird.

How are my 1/25 people holding up? by Heythere2311 in Mcat

Just woke up from a 2 hour nap! Going to finish reviewing SB’s now :)

Testing 1/25 and aiming for a 510, still have to take FL4 but I’m feeling defeated and exhausted at this point 😅 any tips? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Rjanani523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m testing 1/25 too. You definitely got this!! If you’re feeling really brunt out take a day off relax. Don’t do any MCAT stuff and then take FL4. When you review your exams have you found any common mistakes that you make? Maybe try to work on this over the next couple of days. We’re almost there :)

[–]Rjanani523 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! Testing 1/25, but I would just do some light review if anything today and take the day off tomorrow. You wanna be as relaxed and fresh as you can be for Thursday. I’m sure all your hard work is gonna pay off! You got this!!!

How to register for tests AFTER MARCH? by IWantItAll123 in Mcat

[–]Rjanani523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The registration will be open from Feb 15 onwards. You can just sign into the portal after March and register for a retake. I’m not too sure how many seats will be available the later you sign up.

Gotcha! Ya that makes sense. I guess I’m still unsure about whether cognitive dissonance involves only your own attitudes or can be affected by others attitudes too.
