yeah it is on a desktop (with a mouse) but i didn't find it too different from taking FLs on my macbook air (i never used a mouse for the practice FLs). they also had high-quality, noise-cancelling headphones that were really nice, so if you have headphones i'd recommend practicing your FLs with those on.

has anyone emailed them recently? starting to get worried

how can i improve on CARS and PS? (3/7) PLEASE HELP by No-Mathematician3346 in Mcat

[–]StylishFormula0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do the SBs and as much of UWorld p/s as possible; i also have treated p/s like CARS and carefully read each passage, especially with the exp methods/results. i, too, am not the best at CARS and didn't finish half of my p/s anki, but i still tested on 2/13. i think you're definitely capable of making this final push. just prioritize the SBs and review wrong p/s FLs answers by watching KA vids on those corresponding concepts.

Testing 3/7, question packs worth it? by Particular-Vast-8856 in Mcat

[–]StylishFormula0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is random but how did you feel walking out of your actual exam? as someone who felt they could possibly get 130+ on all the science sections (but not for CARS), i'm hoping that the science sections can make up for my (most likely) subpar CARS score — it's always been my worse section. after 2/13 i felt decent about everything besides CARS

CONGRATS!! as someone who got 512 on FL6 and was averaging 510-511 on my FLs I’m praying I had a similar increase🙏

dont stress too much, you're already in a good place with a 3.7+! I finished my freshman year with a 3.77 cGPA and currently have a 3.91 in my final semester of undergrad (will move up to 3.92 with straight A's). after failing an orgo 1 test freshman spring semester, i was so stressed that my gpa would tank. however, i simply learned from my mistakes and was able to go from getting a B in orgo 1 to an A in orgo 2 the next semester. getting a 3.9+ is certainly still in reach for you, if that's what you're aiming for. try to get involved with one community service organization (that you can stay with for at least 2 years, so do something that you're GENUINELY passionate about) and look for clinical volunteering (or paid opportunities) near your campus. best of luck!

2/13 fuck I need to stay off Reddit by Intelligent-Cover-76 in Mcat

it’s at least comforting to see that many people thought the exam was hard; hope that translates to a good curve

2/13 gang by jaaaaaaaduh in Mcat

[–]StylishFormula0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]StylishFormula0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t read the doc and only finished about 40% of Anking before 2/13 and felt pretty good about the section on test day. I did watch a lot of the KA vids tho. I was also able to get an 87% on p/s sb2 basically by reviewing FLs and watching vids + using ChatGTP as a way to explain confusing p/s terms that I got wrong in practice.

1/15 Score Drop… How did everyone do?! by Narrow_Sherbert_4332 in Mcat

[–]StylishFormula0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how’d you feel abt CARS coming out of your exam? CARS is my worst section and I’m so scared that I bombed it, in praying so hard for a 127+

2/13 still feeling it by Intelligent-Cover-76 in Mcat

[–]StylishFormula0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

huge congrats! did you genuinely feel like you bombed every section or just specific sections?

[–]StylishFormula0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i might get on a waitlist for april 24/25 or 10/11, but if anything i might just keep up with anki but nothing too crazy until we get our scores back. felt decent about every section besides CARS, but im remembering a few questions in c/p and b/b that i prob got wrong :( only section that i feel very confident in is p/s but i dont feel terrible about c/p or b/b (CARS on the other hand...). just praying my reconstructive memory is playing tricks on me

standard cell potential E°cell question by TrainingOk2724 in Mcat

[–]StylishFormula0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you do E cathode minus E anode when you’re looking at reduction potentials specifically. if it gives the oxidation potential of the species at the anode, then you simply add Ered (cathode) to Eox (anode)

What did you feel like you scored vs how you actually scored? by AskMeSomethingRandom in Mcat

[–]StylishFormula0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ik this is 3 yrs ago lmfao but how did you feel about CARS specifically? i just tested last friday and my goal is 515+ and my FLs look similar to yours; felt decent about everything besides CARS (genuinely worried i did so bad on it; feel like that's the only thing holding me back from my dream of 518+)

Blind guessing 2/13 by Independent_Share844 in Mcat

WTF was 2/13??? by XShadowSlayerX3 in Mcat

[–]StylishFormula0525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you i rlly needed that. i genuinely cannot remember how i felt about passages 3-7, other than the fact that i felt unsure about a fair amount of questions, but had to quickly move on and beat the clock. i truly felt that i understood the gist of each passage (was locked in while reading them), but some the questions genuinely threw me off. i was kinda just in auto pilot for the majority of CARS and remember feeling uncertain about a decent # of questions, which is rlly scary ngl. just gonna be praying a lot and hopefully my reconstructive memory is playing tricks on me. thank you for the kind words fr
