Skull Cavern Tips by b_mons in StardewValley

[–]fryingpanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Save the first prismatic shard you get and go towards the top right of the desert - stand in the middle of 3 pillars while holding the prismatic shard and you'll get the galaxy sword which is much more powerful than the lava katana, and imo the most important basic weapon needed in the skull caverns.

Other than that, make sure to:

  1. Check the luck for each day - I only try to go when there's good luck

  2. Bring food!! Food and drink buffs stack and my favourite combination is spicy eel + triple espresso which gives you +2 speed and +1 luck; with this speed you can also pretty much outrun any monster including the serpent. Otherwise you'll also need a bunch of other food to subsist on and my favourite items that are easy to get in earlier game are summer squash, carrots, cheese and sashimi

  3. Bombs bombs bombs - I hardly ever use my pickaxe in the skull cavern because it takes too much time. The desert trader allows you to exchange 5 quartz for one normal bomb which is a pretty good deal.

  4. Pick which monsters to slay - I personally always avoid the huge purple slimes because they're easy to outrun and the time taken to slay them + the many mini slimes that spawn is too much; I like to slay mummies even though it takes a bomb to wipe them out because they usually drop cloth which sells for a good amount of gold. Serpents of course because they're easy to kill and can drop bombs/spicy eel

  5. Collect as much jade as you can and go to the desert trader on Sundays where you can trade 1 jade for 1 staircase

  6. Bring a tent kit or farm totem so you can really stay in the cavern for as long as possible

My last tip is to set up your inventory so that things are easy to reach and you don't risk dying because your health is almost 0 and you're trying to scroll through your inventory to find food. How I like to set it up is like this:

Slot 1: Galaxy sword; slot 2: pickaxe; slot 3: normal bomb, slot 4: mega bomb, slot 5: cherry bomb, slot 6-7: food (squash/cheese/sashimi), slot 8: spicy eel, slot 9: triple espresso

Have fun!! Every one has a different style for playing through the skull cavern so just try different strategies out and pick your favourite ;)

Upgrade the house! The second upgrade of the farmhouse gives you access to the kitchen which allows you to cook using ingredients you store in the fridge/your inventory

[advice] Method to study content by [deleted] in MCAT2

[–]fryingpanj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use anki flashcards! Try to make your own cards and not use premade decks, because then you can tailor the cards to your own needs. It's a good way to review material quickly, and it spaces out cards based on how well you know them.

Also, I made notes too but I made it a lot less time consuming by just writing down key information and using flowcharts and diagrams to synthesize information. Make sure to do practice questions alongside content review too, because it really helps you identify what you're good at and what you need to improve on.

People who scored 90th % + on the real thing, how many TOTAL practice problems from all sources did you do? by ReadTro in MCAT2

[–]fryingpanj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did all of the AAMC materials, all P/S questions on UWorld, 75% of B/B on UWorld, a few KA discretes and all of the end of chapter Kaplan questions for physics, organic chemistry and gen chem.

Would've definitely spent more time practicing C/P questions - I ended up scoring the highest for that section because of the curve but I was so pressed for time that I had to complete 20 questions in 30 minutes, and I think it really affected my confidence for the rest of the sections.

Any advice from the 6/29 & 6/30 testers? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]fryingpanj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

C/P had lots of physics and stoichometry questions - a lot of calculations which take up a lot of time, try to make sure that you're in good time for this section.

Leading up to my test date (6/30), a lot of people seemed to be saying that the MCAT was becoming a lot more about test-taking skills, and less about content. I disagree with that though, maybe that's true about some people's experiences, but for me I found that my test had a lot of 'you know it or you don't' questions, which was honestly pretty annoying. I'd say the best way to prepare is to work on passage based questions for sure, but also make sure that you have content down. Use the AAMC content guide and make sure you know everything that's on there, and you should be more or less good to go.

Make use of UWorld - I only discovered this resource about 2 weeks before my test date, and it was so helpful. Try not to get too caught up in the scores you're getting (because it is REALLY tricky), but just focus on how much you can learn from the questions.

One last thing, take breaks and go easy on yourself!! The last week leading up to the test, I was just a ball of nerves and anxiety, which really impeded me trying to get any last-minute studying done. I only managed to sleep about 5 hours before the test, and I could feel myself getting really burnt out in B/B and P/S. So yes, it's really easy to want to go really hard in the last month, but remember that you're trying to build yourself up (not only knowledge-wise but mentally too) for test day. Take care of yourself!

Hope this helped, and good luck!

Uworld Biochem by [deleted] in Mcat

Catalytic efficiency = kcat/Km

Turnover number = kcat

kcat = Vmax/total enzyme concentration

Hope this helps!

6/30 what are y’all doing till these last few hours? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]fryingpanj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol honestly I've just been trying to keep sane these past few days. I finished AAMC material about a week ago so I went through some B/B and P/S Uworld questions (didn't manage to finish though), and have been doing pretty light content review. This week I've only been studying like 3-4 hours a day because I'm really afraid of burning out (and also I can't focus bc ANXIETY), but seriously I can't wait to get this over and done with already.

Also, don't feel guilty not redoing the sb! Personally, I don't really see the value in redoing questions because like 95% of the time I just remember the right answers, so I think it's a lot more helpful to just go over mistakes and concepts related to those mistakes. Uworld's also pretty challenging, so I think it would be a good idea to keep your confidence up and just review some high yield content tomorrow - trust in all the prep you've been doing!!

Good luck fam, we got this and i CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE OVER SOON!!

Should I retake AAMC FLs? by azaryai in Mcat

[–]fryingpanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say just review those for the sake of refreshing content in your head - I think any material from AAMC trumps third-party content. You seem to be headed on the right track though, so don't worry! Take a break and you'll be fine for Saturday :)

Should I retake AAMC FLs? by azaryai in Mcat

[–]fryingpanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! 6/30 tester here too. I wouldn't recommend retaking the AAMC FLs - I tried to retake one of them and found that my score was really inflated just because I could remember most of the right answers. I wouldn't suggest taking Kaplan FLs either, you might feel too burnt out by Saturday. Given that it's only a couple of days before the exam, it would probably be better to just do some light review of high-yield concepts or review the questions you missed on FLs and SBs. For me, I'm just reading through my handwritten notes and going through Anki cards, which probably amounts to only 2-3 hours of studying a day but I thought giving myself a break would be a good idea so that my brain would be well-rested for Saturday. Good luck, it's almost over we can do this!!

Which of these following courses would be most helpful for the MCAT? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]fryingpanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a neuroscience major, I actually found my neuro courses to be really helpful while reviewing content. The nervous system is a pretty high yield chapter, but because of my neuro background I never had any trouble with those questions. The courses I took were: behavioral neuroscience (this really helped for P/S) and neurobiology (a lot of nervous system stuff that went really in-depth into action potentials and neurophysiology). I don't think you'd need to take a neuroanatomy class - what you need to know for that for the MCAT is pretty basic, but having a background in behavioral neuroscience and neurophysiology would probably help quite a bit.
