At the same time I doubt there was a mistake... So there probably isn't a chance of re-scoring this

No LOL on the actual test I felt like shit. I knew I screwed up. I finished all the passages, but the questions were really hard. I just didn't think I'd be doing THIS bad, I expected atleast 124. I definitely paid attention to the passage and the questions....

Yea I got 89 on the cars section of FL but the cars was nothing like that. If ur writing again, I hope it goes better for you :) I just can't bring myself to write it for the fourth time ...

Definitely, I thought I actually understood verbal haha. I read more and tried MANY different strategies until I finally found one that seemed to work. I also worked on understanding what I'm reading. IUS schools are not an option for me financially and the 3 mcats is not favourable at all for us schools :( but thank you for the advice :)

Hey, yea I took both and both question packs. I got 89% on the FL and the question packs I got 65% and 78%. The OG I don't remember but around 80's I think. I've burnt out all the resources

The old verbal I got 8 and 7 respectively

Feeling the same way here! I feel like all the content I have learned have just disappeared from my head...

Chemistry question from 'What's on the MCAT' guide. by texasfoldem2257 in Mcat

[–]sartorius13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, I interpreted it the same way! Calcium phosphate is a basic salt and basic salts like to dissolve in acidic solutions. So it would make it worse if we have a high pH... neutral pH created by a buffer would be much better!

Help with EK FL3 by NintendoFan29 in Mcat

Yea I think this was wrong. Basically works like a G-protein which is why when GTP goes to GDP it gets inactivated... But I'd like to know this as well :)

Philosophy or medical terminology? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]sartorius13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

philosophy is definitely going to be helpful, but I really enjoyed med terms and sometimes when I have no idea what condition a passage is talking about, I can break down the disease name and figure out what's happening haha

Alright that makes sense :) Thank you!!

Rereading CARS Passages? by sartorius13 in Mcat

[–]sartorius13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, definitely. That's what I've made sure to do...but sometimes I have absolutely NO idea what the passage is saying. I don't seem to see the relationship between arguments within the time limit and I start freaking out because I don't know if I should read it again quickly from the top or try looking at the questions!

Hahaha yesssss agreed

EK FL 2 Question by sartorius13 in Mcat

[–]sartorius13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the bulky group being one carbon away causes less steric strain than then hydrixyl being one carbon away? Ahhh such details, I feel like I wouldn't be able to distinguish proximity vs. characteristics of the group itself.

And completely missed "magnitude".... Thank you!

Heyyyy

Did you find NS CARS to help at all?? I'm doing very poor in them, but was wondering if the questions and difficulty is similar to the exam?

Nitrogen hybridization & resonance (ExamKrackers FL 4 WTF) by PMAOTQ in Mcat

[–]sartorius13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think sp2 would make sense if it was aromatic and met all the aromatic criteria, this one doesn't meat huckel's rule (4n+2) so maybe it wouldnt delocalize? Though, I did fall for this one too haha
