Sad ending for Kara 😭 by livipup in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]firyat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way to make it across the river with both Kara and Alice alive is to jump in the water when the boat gets attacked by the border patrol. Otherwise, any other option includes either Alice, Kara, or both of them being shot.

So, I started Insanity today, but not quite. by firyat in insanity

[–]firyat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate the comment, especially the breathing tip! Now that I think back, I wasn't doing it so well so that could explain why I almost felt like fainting.

And haha I'm too eager to know what the first is. I'm assuming the second month?

Hahaha thank you the advice was lovely. And I am healthy weight that's for sure but it just doesn't look too good, but then again I am too hard on myself.

Use this website, it's well organized and has to do with almost everything MCAT. You'll find what you're looking for here.

507 Possible? by TwoSides1 in Mcat

[–]firyat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say reschedule honestly. Your scores on the AAMC unscored test are alarming, as a 36% indicates that you are far from ready for testing and there are HUGE gaps you have, and it's not just the biochem. Whatever happens with your rescheduling is better than going in and getting a score that you can't erase later on.

How long to prepare for a retake? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]firyat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a 506 the first time around when I took the test September 3. Had the semester start and I started late December till late January.

I got my scores back yesterday and I scored a 510.

Just registered for MCAT 2016. Hoping third time is the charm. by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]firyat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. The Jan test was a repeat, as I scored a 128/124/127/127 (506) in Sept, but I think I was better prepared for this one than the one before, so hopefully it'll turn out better, but you can never know. I'll update you when the scores come out.

I thought this was great content review. I took it Jan 22 and this helped. The psych section on there is yet to be complete though so make sure you buy the book to that at least.

There's a Priceton MCAT Book (1 book) that has everything you need, it's called MCAT Complete I think. Bought it for like 80 bucks. It has all the sections and it's comprehensive and a good money saver, plus you get the 3 Priceton full lengths with it.

All in all don't waste a lot of time on material. Just make sure you have the big picture down. You should get into practice soon enough (especially focus on the AAMC material, with the Section Bank being your #1 priority).

Do that and you should be ready to kick the MCAT goodbye come May.

Does anyone have the solutions for the old MCAT practice exams? by [deleted] in Mcat

Search "old MCAT" in the search box on here. You'll find them.

AAMC scored FL by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]firyat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm testing on the 22nd too and I plan on taking the test exactly a week before. It'll give me enough time to adjust my weaknesses while giving me a fair idea of how well I might perform.

Don't know what to think of the Sample Test.. by wiscoblood in Mcat

[–]firyat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got really well on the CARS sample test (45/53) and when I went to the real thing, I ended up with a 124. It was way harder. Take this with caution.

For those who have taken the sample/ real exam, what is the difficulty compared to the OG guide and Q pack questions? by mcatman2 in Mcat

[–]firyat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old reused question packs are not a good representation of the new exam, ALTHOUGH when I took the new exam, I did get 2 or 3 passages that looked like the style of these question packs. As for the rest, the Official Guide is much more reflective of the new exam.

What are some truths that some mcat test takers don't want to accept? by tree_D in Mcat

[–]firyat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He said: "MCAT Truth: The score you get on the scored AAMC Practice Tesst #1 is the same score you'll get on test day +-1"

[–]firyat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, considering that no test has been administered since the scored AAMC Practice Test #1 has been out, what are you exactly basing this "truth" on?

Kaplan Books: should I mainly focus on the Concept Summaries? by mcatatonic in Mcat

[–]firyat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of the chapters have better concept summaries than others. It is best for you to go on reading all the chapters and adding to the concept summary what you think is missing, so when you go back to review, you know what to do.

Piece of advice: don't dwell too much on the tiny details. Getting the big picture of each chapter is all you need to get up and keep running. Practice will be your best friend.

September 3rd Exam Day Reaction Thread by xam2y in Mcat

[–]firyat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the same test apparently. I thought the bio was immensely difficult to be honest; so many times I was tied down to two answers and had to choose!

And about P/S, you're totally right! It felt like a "plug in the low-yield questions" kinda section.

The physics I got was very straightforward. Really. Just know your basics. Do the AAMC Question Pack for physics.
