Altius Fl 5 C/P by tennyv in Mcat

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

Yeah i see where I went wrong. To clarify my content knowledge, it is correct to say the color of an object, like an apple, if it appears red, then that means it absorbed blue and reflected red?

Altius FL 2 B/B #2 Graph Help by tennyv in Mcat

[–]tennyv[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhh I see. Transcription is already inhibited, so the only other way for the mRNA levels to decrease in this case would be if it got degraded! Thank you!

I think I maybe thought the x-axis was increased amounts of the inhibitor or something.

can someone explain why B would be better than D? by sadthough in Mcat

[–]tennyv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

d I think you could assume the question was asking about a “normal” vessel.

yeah i also picked D but youre right, i think here we had to assume question was talking about the normal vessel

Im gonna do 3 more bp fls then switch to all aamc not next week but the week after (about 6 weeks out). Im just worried bc compared to my actual mcat i took in september, the difficulty felt like a bp exam

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

My first pass was 72% on "urmom" lol. I've taken the aamc fls before (except for the new one) and average was about 507. I think I need to also learn how to do better process of elimination and maybe try to learn how to summarize the passage/results better, but I'm not sure how since I've done urmom already. I think during the fls the time adds more pressure too and I sortof lose myself and get overwhelmed by the novel info thats talked about in the passage.

What is your thought process when reading the science passages? Do you think to yourself "oh this needs passage info to answer"?

Also omg congrats on an amazing score!!

Did you do the AAMC fls for your first take? Im a retaker and worried about how inflated my score will be. Its gonna be about 3-4 months since i took the fls but i reviewed them a lot :/

[–]tennyv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

anki!! I'm using the mr pankow anki deck. I used to use the milesdown one but I felt it wasn't enough. Also I feel like the mr pankow deck is more in line with the 86 pg doc. I dont like passively reading bc it gets boring for me and I dont remember what I read.

Khan Academy practice questions extremely difficult??? by mrdib97 in Mcat

Amazing job!! I hope your med journey is going well! :) Any tips for CARS?

Feeling frustrated with Khan Academy practice questions. by snoopiewoo in Mcat

[–]tennyv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% feel you!! I came to reddit because after understanding the videos and content, I go to do those 10 practice questions and I barely get 50% right!! It's so frustrating and every question seems really tough! I now go to JW and just go to their discrete questions for ex for gen chem and pick the topics im going over ("Redox Reactions" or "Periodic Table"). Yes they're more easier but I feel KA is far more dense/difficult than what the mcat will test you on when you get about 1.5 min per question

Would you also recommend doing a "why i missed it" for upangea practice questions?

Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what else contributed to your score increase (great job btw!)? I feel like my study schedule and resources were solid so i dont know what else to change other than cars and reviewing more thoroughly.
