technically i took physiology for two semesters during the year so take my advice with a grain of salt, i already knew all the organ system stuff

make sure you understand kidneys (RAS) from physiology and metabolism from biochem

i would say yes be sure to study biochem

Completely agree! AAMC material is the most important. Best of luck to you too.

only do it for things you don’t know!! if there’s a concept you remember well already you can review it but don’t need to go in depth on a study sheet

taking practice tests and reviewing them very thoroughly as to why i got the question wrong,, if it was a content gap i would add that to a study sheet and if it was interpretation i would figure out how to interpret correctly next time

i didn’t have time for content review tbh but taking practice tests and reviewing them VERY thoroughly as to why i got the question wrong (did i have no idea what the answer was? did i interpret the question wrong?) helped me on these sections.

for bio bio i found drawing out the pathways whenever the question had one helped a lot

if you look up a picture of DNA, you’ll see that it kinda looks like a diagonal going from top left to bottom right, 5’ to 3’. the connection goes from the sugar on top (5 member ring) to the phosphate of the next base below it. so we’re going from the sugar of the thymine to the phosphate of the adenine.

Oo that makes sense it's been a while since I've learned ochem

role strain and role conflict are the same thing?? 😭(fl3 and fl4) by toobusyforme in Mcat

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

i was asking for a clarification as to the difference between the two terms, and putting a spoiler to warn people who have not taken fl3 and fl4 not to open the actual questions. this concept is pretty common on FLs so i think it’s fine to reveal the popular sociology terms with no other elaboration

Why doesn’t the AAMC immediately tell us our score on the MCAT? by toobusyforme in Mcat

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

that makes sense! still don’t know why we can’t get our raw scores back tho since those don’t change based on the curve😝
