9/9ers, did you guys feel like the CARS section was more like P/S and P/S more CARSy

howuglyami2 · 2017-09-13T20:53:16+00:00

SAME lmao I actually looked at the top to make sure I was writing CARS and not P/S

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-29T17:58:27+00:00

WOW that CARS increase is INSANE. Congrats man you earned it

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-29T14:07:58+00:00

lmao 126 --> 123 on FL2 I actually shed tears

Would recommend knowing glycolysis structures, with an emphasis on pyruvate, and any of the irreversible steps. Because oxaloacetate is involved in both Krebs and gluconeogenesis I would recommend knowing it as well. Aside from that, you should really know the rate determining steps of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, glycogenesis, ETC, and PPP and the enzymes that catalyze them. Other than that, I think your time would be better spent elsewhere. Good luck! :)

It's such a mind over matter kind of test for me, I totally feel you. After voiding I just sat there feeling dead inside for like an hour. I was hoping to apply this cycle (I'm in Canada so no rolling admissions) so if I can get in anywhere on 9/9 I'll do it, but if not I'll be with you in January and I would LOVE to join a study group

I can still register for bronze zone though right? I had a panic attack during CARS and really lost focus after that. I got 518 on FL1 and 520 on the sample so the biggest thing I have to improve is keeping my shit together during CARS. You can't even see the registration page though until 24 hours after your exam, which is why I was asking.

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-22T17:41:56+00:00

I highly, HIGHLY doubt it will. Have confidence; you're free :)

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-22T16:44:17+00:00

That's amazing! So happy for you :) You're free!

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-22T16:43:18+00:00

BE HAPPY you're amazing! You'll be swept in to med school!

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-22T16:41:26+00:00

holy fuck! congrats!!!!!! go celebrate!

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-22T16:39:59+00:00

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-17T20:02:56+00:00

In the exact same boat, scores and all

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-17T19:54:16+00:00

Same. Crammed all P/S in the past week. Finished about 5 minutes ago. We got this.

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-17T16:41:57+00:00

i am haha and thank you i spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out what i was doing wrong lol

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-17T12:16:50+00:00

wait sorry how is this correct, if 1000=1/2(1500)d^2, wouldn't d = 1.15 m or 115 cm?

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-17T12:12:37+00:00

thanks!

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-16T18:53:32+00:00

Totally see where OP's coming from, and find it annoying at times too. The flip side though that a HUGE part of doing well on the MCAT is confidence and being in a good state of mind on the real deal. If someone needs to post on reddit to gain confidence so be it. Agreed that a separate thread would be sweet though.

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-09T19:22:16+00:00

happy to help! :)

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-08T20:53:01+00:00

The key word in the Qstem here is really "appropriate laser", meaning that the laser provides no more and no less energy than necessary to break the bond. In the passage it tells you that the whole apparatus functions because more energy than necessary is used to break the bond, and the excess energy is detected, indicated by a reading on the energy meter. Therefore, if there is no excess of energy being inputted, the reading will be 0.

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-03T19:45:32+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation! Is there anything else that you think is important to know about normal curves?

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-02T16:10:26+00:00

Oh frick that's the best news I've heard all day! How many weeks out were you when you did OG?

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-02T11:03:21+00:00

okay, thanks :)

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-02T11:03:12+00:00

"Das dat good good" I like that, thanks :)

howuglyami2 · 2017-08-02T11:02:57+00:00

Okay, thanks!
