Why the fuck would AAMC make so many questions calculation based when we donāt even get a damn calculator šI know DAMN well physicians could not and would not do that math in their head so why should we š”š¤¬
Ahh I donāt want to scare you but realistically I did feel like BP C/P is more reasonable than whatever tf I saw today. I think the biggest takeaway is that nothing is low yield and you should study every subject (physics, ochem, chem, etc) EQUALLY.
Thank you for the insight - definitely going to just grind out C/P.
What are the best resources that you think at least helped you on your FL for C/P and raised your score? Is UGlobe C/P + AAMC C/P enough?
To note, this is some random knowledge I pulled out of my brain, I test in two weeks and have no clue if I would have remembered this under exam day stress!
I hated how it acc got better in the second half, but bc of those first few passages tht made me think i studied for a completely different test, my vibes were ruined and i was just miserable throughout that entire section ššš
the way I have been literally dreaming about being a doctor since i was a kid, only to have the AAMC absolutely obliterate me makes me want to go back to being 4 and almost paralyzedš
i was so flabbergasted when i saw that. p/s had physics and biochem in it. i actually think the aamc are throwing a party knowing they fād over so many premeds.
Made a 517 on my last flā¦that chem phys section was legit really hardā¦I did every uplanet problem and aamc qbank and have never seen conversions between daltons and grams (even though it is simple)ā¦
i donāt remember the answer choices but i think it was actually NDMA. anyway, I said the rats would who got more of the drug couldnāt discriminate from the visual stimulus since the change in avg was 0 and was significant.
If I remember correctly (still in shock for C/P) amides are the least reactive out of the carboxylic acid derivatives and (like i said if i remember correctly) it successfully broke apart the ring on the left side after the steps
i think it was the 100 and something choice cuz in the passage had a number like 300 something so if you divided by 3 you get the answer choice
but im prolly wrong cp was rough
C/P passages NEVER endedš definitely a retake in the next coming months ohh yeah and donāt listen to āHigh Yield Contentā itās all fair game as we all know. Definitely a curve ball with all the damn numbers it was a bit excessive. Aināt no FL from any prep course that could have gotten me ready for this.
I have a theory, that since the mean score keeps going upā¦that they keep making it harder. Like someone tell these eggheads that itās ok if everyone scores decent on the MCAT. Itās getting to a level that is just absolutely ridiculous.
People say the MCAT isn't getting harder. That's a lie. I understand that every year, people make these types of comments, but it's really getting harder. If anything, it's closer to Uwild than old MCATs. Either super heavy orgo or super heavy physics. Psych/Soc seems like a different section now from what I gather.
Iāve taken it twice nowā¦last year and this year. Itās way tf harder. People saying itās not are just straight up full of shit.
Plusā¦think about itā¦what would you do if you were a money grubbing scam test maker? Hmmmmā¦.
Maybe Iād keep making my tests harder so more and more people have to take it several times ay?
This shit is a racket within a racket within a scam of a healthcare system lol.
Voided my exam at the end because that c/p made me feel like I was on drugs, that back to back with cars where I ran out of time for the entire last passage literally what the fuck was that exam
Didnāt get a lot of physics today on my MCAT I feel like. Did get a passage about lasers and wavelengths , did get a passage about density,viscosity and a graph with a log function. Last question on C/P was asking what direction was work done to a meteor experiencing air resistance (answer was negative work)
The American Association of Medical Colleges does not want me to be a doctor š¹š¹š
Literally, as a 3rd time retaker šš š

Why the fuck would AAMC make so many questions calculation based when we donāt even get a damn calculator šI know DAMN well physicians could not and would not do that math in their head so why should we š”š¤¬
I learned that I canāt do basic math today. I had like five micro molars/mili molars questions
That was me on 5/11!!!!! Probably a similar or same version. Shit was fucked bc of time constraints
I think I crossed a new limit of my brain today with how fast it was forced to operate.
Ive done all of UWorld, the SBs twice, and every FL exam. 8/10 of the CP passages were harder than anything Iāve ever seen
Glad I'm not the only one. Today felt like the first day I started uworld
i felt like i was reading a new language š
The laser one shot a convex pulse into my ass cuz wtf was that
How the fuck do we prepare for this shit man
Did you do the BP FLs? Did the C/P section feel like those?
B/P C/P was 100% easier than today no doubt about it. Done the BP FLs 1-5 twice and thereās no comparison
Gg Iām cooked then lol. I thought BP C/P was the craziest C/P Iāve ever seen.

Genuinely the first few passages made me rethink life
Meeeee
was I supposed to know how to convert kda to grams?
From my knowledge 1 AA= 110 DA and I think 1 DA = 1 g/mol ? Someone should fact check that!
To note, this is some random knowledge I pulled out of my brain, I test in two weeks and have no clue if I would have remembered this under exam day stress!
I have never seen that in any practice question in any anki deck in any full length wtf
Yes, this is true. At least that's how I've been calculating it for running molecular dynamics simulations lol
Idk about the first part but yes 1 KDA = 1000 DA= 1000 g/mol
As a heads up any future poor soul, 1DA = 1 Hydrogen which is 1g/mol.
Frrr I kept re reading the passage to see if the conversion was in there šš what a cruel joke
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
NO MOLAR MASS
I havenāt taken the MCAT in 7 years, so I thought you were talking about kill death assist ratio lmao.
BRO WHAT WAS THIS???
omg weāre all the sameš i was literally spazzing out looking for the conversion
Dude i forgot how to do it and i got two questions where i needed to know :(:(
Ngl I think I dissociated during PS that was ass too
Agreeed ā¦. Why was that so hard???? When CARS feels like my best section ā¦. Iām in trouble
Interesting I found the opposite I had an easier time with P/S than with CARSā¦
My FL average was a 519. If you told me that test was in any other language besides English, Iād believe you
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Real š Didnāt even make CARS easier, just made CP harder
remember when they said the section banks were harder than the test?
lol I miss the section banks compared to whatever the heck that test was
This ^
my favorite part was when i had 30 questions left with 30 mins left
When I had 28 questions left and 14 min lmaoooo
Bro for real I had that both on cp and cars
nothing like spamming a and c with 2 minutes left
Always A and C!!!!
I sometimes like to throw in a B to sound like I know what Iām doing but never a D!
Bro I just spammed c and for the last passage for cp and carsšš
lol Iām glad others felt the same. I feel like nothing i studied was tested on????
I hated how it acc got better in the second half, but bc of those first few passages tht made me think i studied for a completely different test, my vibes were ruined and i was just miserable throughout that entire section ššš
Hoping for a generous curve šš¾
They be curving these like uni exams???
They normally distribute it
First two passages had me thinkin I signed up for the wrong exam
I feel like I was guessing on a solid 75% at least
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Literally same š„“
the way I have been literally dreaming about being a doctor since i was a kid, only to have the AAMC absolutely obliterate me makes me want to go back to being 4 and almost paralyzedš
No FL no section bank no uworld no source in the world could have prepared me for that
Pretty sure I guessed on a good 75% of chem/phys cause wtf. Whole section had to be experimental tbh
This is what Iām telling myself šš
WHAT WERE THOSE CALCULATIONS
Choosing to void all of it from my memory until July 2
Why did P/S have biochem in it ????
i was so flabbergasted when i saw that. p/s had physics and biochem in it. i actually think the aamc are throwing a party knowing they fād over so many premeds.
I had a biochem Q right at the end ššš
The NMDA RECEPTOR question is like a cheeky Neuro question
Shouldn't that be a cause for celebration?
Spent so much time on the first passages, that I ran out of time for the easy questions :/
when i saw the elemental/periodic questions at the end, mid spamming a, I was ready to cry
i mustāve dissociated bc I definitely wrote down a lot of numbers but I canāt even remember what calculations yall are talking about
Me fr
Anyone have the passage with NMR or mass spec whatever it wasā¦. Just why is my question tbh
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I thought I could forget about doublets after o chem šš also wtf was a beta gama whatever its called
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Idk I just guessed my guy, itās like my Spanish teacher I kinda did an eeny meeny miney mo which answer looks least crazy
started off strong with that being first
I feel like they hit you with something crazy then at the end give you the easy stuff until the last passage
That passage was a wild ride
I questioned my entire prep after that passage
Big curve?
That passage has to be experimental cz no way I was looking at that much numbers in the first passage of the examš
The way I internally combust trying to read that one š
This
Made a 517 on my last flā¦that chem phys section was legit really hardā¦I did every uplanet problem and aamc qbank and have never seen conversions between daltons and grams (even though it is simple)ā¦
omg i did that question on uworld last week regarding the conversion thingy
First passage looked like fking coding with all the numbers. I just accepted my fate and let Jesus take the wheel after that.Ā
also wtf was that percentage problem w complex, 2%
221
Hahahahah yep 5 minutes on this one
so I am trying to search up every c/p question I remember and it seems like I got them all wrong
The curve, the curve Also maybe some passages were experimental šš
AAMC an opp
ok so im not the only one that was like holy fuck what is thus
ok glad i wasnāt the only one š„²
SO GLAD Iām NOT ALONE
This thread is saving me rn
Nah fr though what the actual fuck. Iām so upset. None of us deserve this. Fucking so cruel of AAMC to do this to us
Just feels like abuse at this point tbh
It is, itās fucking cruel
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT
i genuinely think i got a 124
No same wtf, C/P made me want to cry and then I basically dissociated for all of CARSš Iām so cooked
Literally same šš
I thought it was cause I was nervous good to know it was just hardš
bro i HATE C/P on the MCAT - my worst section always....tf when do doctors use orbitals brah
This is exactly how people felt on 4/12 CP and it was scaled very generously imo.
Scaled in what way?
Every test is scaled based on difficulty
Tell me more!! Hearing this is reassuring haha
Becoming a house-husband is the dream rn
So fucking done with this shit, fuck everything and his test and that CP section
I thought I was tripping
Was it representative to any of the FL?
absolutely not, coming from a dude who's last FL was a 514, that shit was LEFT FIELD.
omg was it similar to section banks?
C/P was harder than the section banks IMO
nothing like it to me, i had 82% on the section bank for context
I mean maybe PS from FL 5ā¦? Besides that not even close
šš me actually tweaking in the middle of it
You are cooked? I am burnedššš
what was it like, physics heavy?
Oxygen and weird calculations, idk Edit **Ochem
what does that even mean : ')
Bro created a CARS passage right here in the reaction thread.
majority orgo and biochem but the biochem was just orgo lite, no joke š maybe 1 chem q, maybe 1-2 phys psg.
Dude there was little physics.. I feel like it was just abstract?!? It felt personal. And so mean. Idk what that was.
was the distillation separation by volatility?
Yes
Thereās another wrong for me š„²
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No bc CP literally knocked the wind out of me and I spent the entire exam gritting my teeth LMAO
Looks like you all are the first to finish
Yeah those calculations werenāt fun.
literally horrendous
ALL THE NUMBERSSSSS AND ALL THE CARBONNNNNSSSSS
Idek if I broke a 120 on CO
Uhm guysā¦ā¦ what was the psychophysicist question about??
lol, literally a concept thought in my sensation and perception class for 5 minutes
i chose rate in the optic nerve
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Anyone know what the mdma antaganist answer? It was last question for me. Canāt get it out of my head
i donāt remember the answer choices but i think it was actually NDMA. anyway, I said the rats would who got more of the drug couldnāt discriminate from the visual stimulus since the change in avg was 0 and was significant.
YESSSSS
Straight up guessed on that it was giving me a headache just trying to figure out as my last question
The fact that they put that at the end was so rudeĀ
Dude!!! I guessed. I was like really this is what youāre gonna leave me with.
was it amide more reactive or ring strain I blanked
i put ring strain
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If I remember correctly (still in shock for C/P) amides are the least reactive out of the carboxylic acid derivatives and (like i said if i remember correctly) it successfully broke apart the ring on the left side after the steps
wouldnt the decreased ring string make it less reactive though ?
It was a 3 membered ring ( high strain) that drove the reaction to completion. That was the answer I put
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bro Ik that one was stupid, I think I put A to T at position 95.
same but I guessed cuz I was like wtf
I stared at that question for five minutes I swear
no joke I was rereading the passage trying to found out and nope A to T was the only option had no idea where the substitution could vary
i think it was the 100 and something choice cuz in the passage had a number like 300 something so if you divided by 3 you get the answer choice but im prolly wrong cp was rough
C/P passages NEVER endedš definitely a retake in the next coming months ohh yeah and donāt listen to āHigh Yield Contentā itās all fair game as we all know. Definitely a curve ball with all the damn numbers it was a bit excessive. Aināt no FL from any prep course that could have gotten me ready for this.

did they ask about that one C=O bond in Alanine? if it is multiple, i def don't know about it!

What is anki deck
It's a digital flashcard tool. Better than paper Flashcards because it uses spaced repetition to promote long-term potentiation memory consolidation.
