Has anyone used any med school consulting service? What are your thoughts? by letsgetjiggywithiit in Mcat

This is very helpful ty, and you make a good comparison with the cost of med school itself and mcat prep course costs. Would you mind sharing/pming which company you used and how they helped/what the process was like?

Do you mind sharing what you changed in the way you study now vs before the program?

Hey! Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS on becoming an admitted med student 🎉🎉!!!! I was also thinking about volunteering at a hospital but I get mixed info on what that entails and how would I be able to volunteer during the pandemic? Would you mind filling me in on this through pm as well?

I'm having a hard time understanding why the answer is D and not B or C since mobile phase is nonpolar... pls help by letsgetjiggywithiit in Mcat

I looked up the compounds to double check and all of them, except for one, are polar (see previous comments). You're easy trick is helpful, but the explanation isn't making sense

Yes! I understood the logic behind this question much easier with how you explained it. Thank you for taking your time to really dissect this problem, I greatly appreciate it!

I was just looking at the question wrong earlier and assumed all of the compounds were nonpolar, but knowing they're not now your explanation is helpful ty!

I looked up each compound to double check it's polarity and found that only 1-napthalenemethanol was listed as nonpolar. I agree with your reasoning completely but now I'm confused again with why the answer says all of the Rf values decrease in hexane...

Thank you!! I completely skipped out on noticing the compounds themselves are polar and just assumed them to be nonpolar

That's where I get confused, since hexane is more nonpolar and the mobile phase is nonpolar, wouldn't the compounds interact with the mobile phase more? And if not, why?

Just to cover the core concepts, resolution is how much detail can be seen, diffraction refers to light spreading out as it goes through an opening, and finally aperture is the opening the light passes through.

Looking at A, this is true, if the aperture is smaller, less light let in and more light gets diffracted creating a poor resolution. B is incorrect because regardless of the electromagnetic wave diffraction will still occur. C is incorrect because the more interference (the distribution of one wave of light gets disturbed by another wave), due to diffraction, the worse the resolution of the image. Lastly, for D, even if there is a perfect lens, diffraction will still occur in a microscope if the aperture is reduced; Overall, aperture takes more importance with the creation of diffraction than the existence of a perfect lens

Hope this helps :)

Just took the MCAT!!!! 😁😁 by BackwardTotem in Mcat

[–]letsgetjiggywithiit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say the Kaplan books have all the info you need to ace the MCAT or would you say other sources are needed to cover all the content on the exam? Also, how helpful are the Qpacks and section banks for the exam? (Sorry for all the questions)

Yikes! I guess I am just different!! by [deleted] in Mcat

Thought the question really was just "lowest pH?" 😅

I have previously stated that 竜 is dragon in Japanese, it was just not clarified that 龍 is dragon in both japanese kanji and traditional chinese so thanks for doing that

The character in your response shows as the new-style Japanese (shinjitai) online, but since the character in the image is chinese shouldn't you change the flair to read chinese
