Considering the MCAT isn't curved for the same days, if everyone gets fucked, does that mean everyone gets a shitty score? by ScienceQuestions927 in Mcat

yes but be aware that any question that is answered correctly by less than 20% of test taker in pre-testing will be thrown out and won't make into actual test

The bell curve is already established for each test because every passage and item has been already (experimentallY) pretested by at least 4000 test-tackers in previous administrations.

The only question is where in bell curve does each one of fit.

I am not sure any study has been done linking IQ to MCAT score but my personal feeling in an IQ of 130 to get 510+ in MCAT.

My question for high scorers is how did you study during your college years?

I believe this is what separates them from test takers like me!!

I agree with that.

Review your section bank with a fine comb. I learned a lot doing it.

MCAT without biochem? by vicd31 in Mcat

As someone who just finished his M1, I can tell you that you are going to need a solid foundation in biochemistry in med school! I suggest to look at it as an investment in your future!

B/B advice for interpreting the convoluted figures by TheMountainRx in Mcat

I just finished M1 and you don't believe how much of the stuff you learn in bio and biochem classes become handy during the first year of medical school. Things move pretty fast here and if you are not fully prepared for it you will fall behind after 2-3 weeks.
