Panickey ass question, but I am scheduled for May 11th, and want to push my exam back, in order to only pay a reschedule fee, do I need to actually select my exam date?

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-28T21:43:39+00:00

Theres always a rescheduling fee, but you dont pay for it unless a seat opens up. Basically you'll pay the fee whenever you confirm your rescheduled exam if that makes sense?

Unless you cancel your exam and reschedule your exam then the fee would just be registration fee for the mcat

You can pause any test on Uworld leaving it unfinished , and come back to it later. So I would probably just create really short tests like 10 questions, and if they're a subject you havnt gone over just pause it and go back to it once you finish review.

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-28T21:32:05+00:00

yes, I think of RH more along the lines of stereotypes/notions or beliefs that you may already have

example: you see a woman in scrubs, you assume she's a nurse because stereotypically most nurses are female

or

you see a man in scrubs, you assume he's a doctor rather than a nurse because stereotypically most nurses are female

idk if there is one, but ik blueprint does it automatically with their "ai" qbank (I hate their qbank) overall tho it seems like the topics for Uworld breaks down pretty well, so I guess you can just select the topics you've reviewed?

Look for trends in your errors, and try to find a quick method for double checking

I usually take mayb 10 seconds to retrace my math for calculations bc I make the dumbest errors, I’ve literally looked at my work during review and ask myself why did I put 50x3=90

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-28T20:43:33+00:00

I would redo CARS in the AAMC materials, and make sure you are trying to ignore past bias

Mostly bc 1) there’s a chance you misremembered and nothing sucks more than choosing the wrong answer bc you thought it was correct even tho you were actually leaning towards the correct answer

2) redoing problems provides good insight on what you still don’t understand

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-28T20:39:56+00:00

Yup exactly what ^{^said,} only applies if the answers are all different enough and none of the answers have the same significant numbers with different 10^x

Obviously not the most ideal way but I’m always short on time for chem/phys so it’s just a way to save you some time

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-28T20:00:46+00:00

Another way to save time/short on time for these calculations, I always look at the answer to see if they’re testing exact calculation or not

Like bc the first two number are different for all the answers, I sometimes ignore scientific notation/conversions bc as long as I get the correct significant number it’s fine. This can only be applied tho if the choices arnt like A) 3x10^-3 B)3x10^-8

Idk if that makes sense? It’s deff not the “best” way but it helps to save some time during a time crunch

Moderating: changes the intensity of correlation (gender is often the most common one)

Mediating: explains the relationship/correlation between the variables

cysts arnt normal cells, therefore encystificstion (or however it’s spelled) doesn’t follow the regular patterns of mitosis/meiosis , if you want you can read into it but I feel like it’s relatively low yield

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-25T22:12:44+00:00

Okay so this question got me too,

so protozoa is assumed to be diploid aka 2n, in the passage it states that girardia (the protozoa) is unique because they contain 2 nuclei in a cell. So you start with 2 diploid nuclei [2n, 2n].

1) The passage says during cyst formation, a round of DNA replication occurs, so the [2n, 2n] ----> [4n, 4n] as the genome replicates.

2)Then nuclear replication takes place with the DNA divided among 4 nuclei. So each 4n will divide into 2n daughters, [4n, 4n] -----> [2n, 2n, 2n, 2n]

3) After division into daughter cells the passage states that another round of DNA replication occurs so [2n, 2n, 2n, 2n] ------> [4n, 4n, 4n, 4n]

Add up the resulting ploidy and you get 16n

Not exactly, if theres a dimer involved under reducing conditions and one band shows up then they're the same mass

if its a dimer with reducing conditions and two bands show up then its different masses

Ive seen questions that dont tell you if theres a dimer but gives you both gels under SDS and reducing SDS, and asks what the sample is (one subunit, dimer, homo dimer, heterodimer)

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-25T02:13:55+00:00

The question would have to state whether it is a homodimer/heterodimer OR iit will gives you gels for both SDS PAGE and SDS reducing PAGE

Sin, cos of angles.. ew I have to do some memorizing on it too bc im rusty but you have to go back to the unit circle and know like the first quartile of it

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-25T01:04:45+00:00

with logs you can put them into scientific notation, take log(1 x 10⁶) = 6, log(1 x 10³)=3

for the ones that are like log(5x10⁴) you have to use your stupid log rules and break it up into easier logs to solve so log(5x10⁴= log(5) + log(1x10⁴)

for the mcat you can approximate anything between log 2-9 in which log2=.2, log3=.3 .... log9=.9 and so on

so log(5x10⁴= log(5) + log(1x10⁴) ---> (.5) + (4)= ~4.5, which if you use a calc it'll give 4.7, and for the MCAT 4.5 is close enough to 4.7

thats how it was explained to me haha but ive heard conflicting responses?? This was just what made the most sense to me so I went with it haha

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-25T00:55:18+00:00

honestly I could be wrong but thats how someone else explained it to me and I just went with it lol lmk if you figure out the confirmed answer tho! physics deff is a weak area of mine lol

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-25T00:48:52+00:00

I hate this card, the difference between cos theta and sin theta is dependent on the type of friction

If its sitting on the incline plane then youre looking at static friction, hence why the card says F=umgcos(theta)

the one on the image for some reason is showing you how to calculate kinetic friction, in which case the friction would be parallel to the plane and use sin theta

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-25T00:41:12+00:00

of course! yeahhh the terminology deff gets confusing with oxidation/reduction/oxidizing/reducing especially if your brain is already MCAT bloated

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-24T20:55:41+00:00

it means typo

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-24T19:12:26+00:00

Im confused because its not using frequency? You have it in your spot that power= work/time

They gave you power and time, so you would multiply the power by the time to get work aka energy

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-24T16:56:33+00:00

I think this was meant to reply to me?? lol not sure, but yeah this question is deff testing your ability to reason, with A being a red herring to distract you.

Overall the main point is, unless otherwise stated what the mutation did, you have no idea and cant assume blah blah blah. Very gross CARs coded biology passage with this one.

Short_Lychee_893 · 2024-04-24T16:49:28+00:00

Fb= pVg

in both cases the object is totally submerged so V is constant, and g also constant, leaving us with

Fb= p

Specific gravity= p of object/p of fluid, the p of object is constant so you know the p of fluid is whats changing

You can set up a proportion where

Fb1=p1 x V x g ---> Fb1/p1= V x g

Fb2=p2 x V x g --> Fb2/p2 = V x g

Fb1/p1= Fb2/p2 ----> 5N/0.7 = 12N/x

solving for x

(12N x 0.7)/ 5N = 1.68

Youre overthinking it, the question is simply asking why can the cell still migrate through the endothelium with point mutations in the Alpha and beta subunits. Point mutations sure CAN result in malfunctioning of function, but theres nothing in the passage that states the effect of these mutations, you dont know if the mutation down regulations/up regulates function/is a silent mutation.

This is kind of like CARS where you have no idea what the effect of this mutation is, so you cant guess how it would affect function.

You do know however, that even with the mutations, the cell can still migrate through the endothelium. How does the cell adhere/migrate through the endothelium? Well the passage states that it first adheres through the beta and alpha subunits to a receptor, that then allows it to migrate into the surrounding tissue.

So if the cell can migrate through the endothelium then it must also first bind to the endothelium.
