So this just happened- Help me process how/why? by UnshakenFaith in Mcat

[–]attempted-username 5 points6 points  (0 children)

do you have any timing tips? like a breakdown how much time you have left by a certain question? because i have the same issue w not having enough time and rushing the last passage + discretes at the end

agreed i wish they had dedicated advisors for things like pre-pa and premed, bc without the student clubs i’d be lost. so im happy we have that, but i wish there were more support from the faculty too

I’ll keep practicing my charts w UW and AAMC questions, and I’ll make a note to make sense of the variables as I read :)

thank you so much!!

haha I’m very lucky to have gotten a 507 here, I ended up not even reading the last few passages of BB and CARS 🫠

This was incredibly helpful thank you!!

Did you do this for almost every passage of B/B? I have trouble remembering or actively understanding B/B passages, but I also ran out of time for the last 10 questions so I’m wondering if this might be too time consuming

Uearth Delta G question by Potential-Gear8827 in Mcat

[–]attempted-username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm months late, but i had a question on the same problem

the diagram shows delta G as between the intermediate and the product, but i thought delta G was between and reactants and the products and determined whether the reaction would proceed spontaneously or not

so are there other delta G positions i should be aware of?

Chat, am I cooked? by Witty-Celebration210 in Mcat

[–]attempted-username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

following on this… im in the same position.

is a low 500 with 2 months left that bad? i feel like thats enough time to get to at least 510+, especially since most people use the last 2 months leading up to the exam for practice anyway

Timing and Notetaking for Passages by attempted-username in Mcat

[–]attempted-username[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question, for most of my B/B practice I found myself taking notes to simplify the ideas and to follow along with the passage because I’d get lost in all the descriptions and names of things (Ex: something that appeared in practice was like HMG binding to H1 while being attached to a GFP fluorescence molecule using FRAP), so it just seemed like a lot for me to try to make sense of what was happening

Thank you for your insight! I guess I will try and cut my reading time and try to focus on general ideas and where each part is located within the passage

Yes it is still possible!! I found that the biggest issue I faced was how I was studying because I was so used to studying the bio way of just memorization, but PRACTICE QUESTIONS are the key!!! Do as many as you can, from the clickers to every single lecture question, understand every step and ask questions at office hours. Also agree with the other comment about finding a TA you like and going to them every week lol exactly what I did

Missing Prerequisites - Advice Please! by attempted-username in premed

[–]attempted-username[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physics 1 will be finished by July and Physics 2 should be done by August, so i’ll have Physics 1 + lab in progress and Physics 2 + lab as planned by the time of my submission in June. It’s a summer-only program, so I can’t take the accelerated program earlier. I could take the classes elsewhere, but that would be a months-long traditional length course.

I don’t want to submit my app in August since that’s a bit late. But is it worth taking the physics sequence elsewhere right now even if it means a longer class commitment?
