![]() The trick is just to not get intimidated, keep your head, and use these simple equations and reasoning skills in a timely manner. However, you can always reach the correct answer by using simple equations and reasoning. It tries to make things appear harder in the guise of experiments, language, complex looking graphs, etc. So what does this mean? It means that the MCAT is bluffing. There is absolutely no way in hell that any test can possibly ask detailed questions covering the scope of Gen chem, orgo chem, physics, physiology, genetics, biochem, and all of psych/soc, asking questions based on complex experimental passages, and have people even pass it, much less get near perfect scores. I remember going into my orgo chem final thinking that the amount of material they were asking us to memorize was obscene and that no human could do it. If you think about it, the MCAT has to be simple. ![]() For instance, some of the answer explanations are like, "Foundational Concept 4: Relationships between Electromagnetic fields-Skill 3: Scientific Reasoning and Principles" when in reality all you have to do is recognize some simple principle like two charges that have stronger chargers will be more attracted to each other than two charges that have relatively weaker charge magnitudes. You can kind of see this in the language they use to describe there test. It looks and tries to appear sooo much more intimidating than it actually is. Overall, I think that the MCAT has a bark much worse than its bite. Just to preface, I wanted to concentrate on these two sections in particular, but I also want to start with a word on the MCAT in general, especially since there's a lot of similarity in the reasoning skills needed for all the sections. Also as a disclaimer, I think that there are a million different ways to do well on the MCAT, depending on your background and the type of student you are, so take whatever bold claims I make with a grain of salt! ![]() These are two sections that I've noticed that some people on this sub seem to be struggling with, and wanted to share my approach and thoughts on these sections to see if it would help anybody. I had just wanted to share some tips on two of my strongest subjects on the MCAT, Chem/Phys and CARS. /r/GAMSAT - Australian & UK Medical school Admission Test.P/S = Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior (Tentative) AAMC Sample FL Score ConversionĬ/P = Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological SystemsĬARS = Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skillsī/B = Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems # Correct -> Scaled Score Converter for AAMC Material These posts will be removed and the user banned without warning, subject to the discretion of the mod team Learn MoreĪll of the above rules are subject to moderator discretion High Yield MCAT Links You have signed an examinee agreement, and it will be enforced on this subreddit.ĭo not intentionally advertise paid or free products or services of any sort.
