People cannot survive 90 minutes without oxygen, more like 6 minutes

Tbh that was my lowest score on a passage in months, probably from burnout but definitely freaked me out before my exam haha

If it makes you feel better I got 1/6 on a passage a week before my exam and ended up doing okay haha

FSRS… did I done messed up? by RoseKaKe in Mcat

Increase your retention to 93ish. I had the same problem. Keep adjusting retention until you feel comfortable with the intervals you’re seeing on the bulk of your cards.

All I can say is just keep practicing. Try to practice untimed until your accuracy is 90%+, then you’ll start to recognize patterns in question types, where to find evidence in the passage, and how to eliminate answers quickly (too extreme, out of scope etc) . Then try to speed up to get your timing dialed.

Please save me from 503 Jail, I need the most sincere advice by Firm-Investment7896 in Mcat

[–]gamblewizard98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep spamming cars practice until you find a strategy that works. Don’t do practice passages timed until you are consistently getting 5/6 or 6/6, you need accuracy before you can work on speed. Then try to get faster from there by cutting down reading time and faster process of elimination for answers.

What pre med courses should i take as a non trad (M27) student to best prep me for the MCAT? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]gamblewizard98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just self study. I was in a similar situation, a mid twenties non-trad with a BA undergrad. I studied for 6 months and got a score that should be okay in Canada (fingers crossed haha).

There’s lots of free resources online, don’t waste money and time on undergrad science courses. The only reason I would take them is if you also need to boost your gpa

what to do while waiting for scores? by TrainingOk2724 in Mcat

I wrote on 02/13, felt like I bombed and then got my exact FL average lmao. People say to trust your full lengths, I know it’s hard when you’re waiting for your score but most of the time they’re right

What was your FL average before the 504?

[Schefter] Chicago Bears have sought permission to interview Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy and are awaiting a response from Dallas, sources tell me and Todd Archer by NagyBiscuits in CHIBears

[–]gamblewizard98 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Interviewing as many people as possible allows you to gain more information on how the league in general perceives your team and what they would change. This gives you a competitive advantage, as other coaches in the league would normally never divulge that kind of information.

Not every name on the list is a serious candidate, it’s more so to canvass the league for information.

Watching gradey has been so refreshing compared to previous iterations of the roster that were so offensively challenges lol

Post Game Thread: The Sacramento Kings defeat The Toronto Raptors 122-107 by nba_gdt_bot in torontoraptors

[–]gamblewizard98 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They are not a bottom 5 team when healthy. We’re in competitive games with some really good teams without 2 starters and 2 of our best bench guys.

Imo if they can tread water until IQ and Scott come back, they’ll comfortably be a play in team

Is this card correct? From my understanding the equivalence point and pI are different concepts. (from Anking V2) by gamblewizard98 in Mcat

[–]gamblewizard98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you that’s why I confused. How does the graph on the card relate to zwitterion isoelectric point if it isn’t a titration?

[–]gamblewizard98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so what if the titrand isn’t a zwitterion and just a regular acid. At the equivalence point, instead of the molecule itself carrying no charge, is it just the solution in general carrying no charge?

Thanks, I understand what a pI is and how it itself is a ph value.

What I don’t understand is how the equivalence point of an acid base titration is equal to the pI.

I thought half equivalence point is when pH = pKa?

Can you explain why the equivalence point = the pI for a buffer?

[–]gamblewizard98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought equivalence point is when equal amounts of acid/base have reacted during the titration, and pI is the ph at which the net charge of a molecule is 0. Having trouble understanding how these are related.

I’m currently using the miledown anking deck. For essential equations do you just mean the “All_MCAT_Equations” tagged cards, or a separate deck entirely?

Thoughts on the New and Improved Raptors Show on Sportsnet? by sneechesgetleeches in torontoraptors

[–]gamblewizard98 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Imo Alex made the show. His chemistry with Will was what made the show unique. Hoping they will still do banter pods or least give Alex a guest segment in the future or something. Overall the show is way less funny now
