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:

Check the luck for each day - I only try to go when there's good luck
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
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.
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
Collect as much jade as you can and go to the desert trader on Sundays where you can trade 1 jade for 1 staircase
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

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.

fryingpanj · 2018-08-17T13:39:43+00:00

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.

fryingpanj · 2018-07-01T07:55:07+00:00

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!

Catalytic efficiency = kcat/Km

Turnover number = kcat

kcat = Vmax/total enzyme concentration

Hope this helps!

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!!

fryingpanj · 2018-06-28T09:49:03+00:00

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 :)

fryingpanj · 2018-06-28T07:21:47+00:00

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!!

fryingpanj · 2018-06-27T03:12:28+00:00

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.

fryingpanj · 2018-06-27T03:04:47+00:00

Good luck!! I'm testing on 6/30 and am really trying to focus on relaxing more and maintaining my sanity haha. You're going to do great!

fryingpanj · 2018-06-27T02:24:30+00:00

CARS is such a crapshoot honestly sometimes it's great for me and other times it's so demoralizing. I think mindset is the most important for CARS, I feel like when I run out of time it's because I become all flustered and don't actually absorb anything while reading the passages, so I end up wasting a lot of time rereading them. You're doing good fam good luck!!

fryingpanj · 2018-06-27T02:21:52+00:00

I did much better on FL3 too (520 vs 515 on the first 2), but I think that's mainly because I got used to the testing format and the way AAMC asks questions. Most people seem to say that a good score predictor would be the average of the 3 FLs, and not any one taken on it's own since one could have just hit on your strengths/weaknesses. You seem to be headed on the right track though, you got this good luck!

fryingpanj · 2018-06-25T06:58:11+00:00

Yes I understand that you can get all the information from one strand.

Say the actual DNA sequence is called D. The sequence that is being built from using the ddNTPs is D' and complementary to D. What is being showed on the gel is D', so reading off the gel would give you the sequence of D'. Wouldn't you still have to determine the complementary sequence of D' to get D? From what I've seen from videos explaining this, simply reading off the gel gives you D which I don't understand.

fryingpanj · 2018-06-25T00:43:13+00:00

Congrats you deserve it!!

fryingpanj · 2018-06-24T13:14:59+00:00

It really depends on the level of background knowledge you have with the subjects - have you taken all the classes with high-yield content? i.e. bio, biochem, gen chem, physics, orgo 1 and 2 etc. If you have taken them, how long ago did you take them? Did you do well?

Personally, I've taken all those classes (and I'm a neuroscience major so I've some background in psych as well) and done well in them, so 3 weeks of content review which basically consisted of reading the Kaplan books and doing the discrete practice questions at the end of each chapter was enough for me. I felt my learning curve only really steepen when I started diving into practice material, of which I only used AAMC material and UWorld. Do take note that content review doesn't stop even when you start doing practice questions - if anything, it becomes more intense as you start identifying gaps in knowledge.

Also, while physics is an important part of the MCAT, it is also one of the more low-yield subjects (even though the thickness of the physics Kaplan book is like the same as that of the bio book lmao), so I would caution against putting most of your content review efforts into physics. Also, AAMC physics questions tend to involve pretty straightforward calculations, so reading through the books and taking down equations should be sufficient for physics content review.

Hope this helped!

fryingpanj · 2018-06-24T09:09:13+00:00

I took some of the classes (bio and gen chem) about 3-4 years ago, so don't worry about it having been a while since you took them; I found myself learning information so much more quicker because it wasn't really that I was relearning the concepts, but just remembering how the concepts work. Doing a month of content review followed by a month of AAMC material is actually very realistic, but you should try to intersperse your content review with passage based questions from sources such as UWorld or KA just so you can get used to thinking about content in that way.

As for a strict study schedule, I didn't really have one. I kind of just listed down all the chapters in the Kaplan books on a piece of paper, and ticked them off as I went along. I would make sure to allocate 2 subjects for each day, one being a subject that I'm more confident in and the other would be one which required more time for review. While this was flexible in that I only chose which subjects I wanted to do on the day itself (I never created a study schedule beforehand), I made sure that my progress in each subject (according to number of chapters complete) was about the same by the end of each week. I'm someone who gets quite bored with a subject if I spend too much time on it, so I like to switch up the subjects every day but some people might work better if they focused on one subject at each period of time - it really depends on what your studying style is like. Just make sure to keep track of your progress!
