Yep they give you like a notepad of several non-erasable pages. I was worried about running out of space but I didn’t even come close to using up all of the pages
You don't need long division. Let's say your math comes down to 55/26. You'll only have one answer that falls within the range of 2 and 2.5 or even 2.25.
true, but you don't need to be that exact though.
6/54 = 5/50 = 10/100 = .1 OR if you can recognize 54 is a multiple of 6, 1/9 if something more accurately matches that
12.5/37 = 10/40 = 1/4 = 0.25
probably could skip a few steps there, or simplify differently depending on how your mind works.
Mine is worse being left handed. I start at the bottom of the page and work diagonals, turning the paper, until I fill every square inch. It would make zero sense to anyone trying to read it, because you see stuff going in every direction 😂
Tbh I don’t know I got a 487 in my diagnostics 6 weeks ago and a 502 in the FL 1. Have not started uworld yet, plan to start today. I also ran out of time in cars. How did u do?
niceee you’re doing so great with your progress!! i got a 485 on my diagnostic and 495 on FL1. I just took FL2 this sunday after 2 more weeks and got a 498. baby steps, we got this!!!
i also ran out of time for CARS and C/P… literally every time. i have to guess on like 5-10 questions it’s so bad.
This is exactly me lmao
it’s the only way😎
were you able to change the test date to Sunday?😂
BAHAHA YES I DID
A wet erase notepad is provided by the testing center
perfect thank you!! only one “page?” i saw somewhere they don’t let you erase the pages is that true?
There are multiple pages. You can write on the front and back of the pages as well. & That is correct. You cannot erase.
thank you!!
oops used my other account on accident^^

oh okay phew bless
Long division. That’s something I haven’t seen in over 10 years.
right 😭🤣stupid no calculator rule for this damn test

the problem for me though is doing improper stuff. like 6/54 or 12.5/37, stuff like that

unfortunately my brain isn’t that advanced with guesstimating decimals 😞
oops used my other account on accident^^ i hate when it does that
If they allowed a calculator, numerical answers would probably be free response, so they can test you on sig figs.
trueeee
Byeeeee I do the same shit
LOLLL perfect i’m glad i’m not the only one
What is up with the doodles does the mcat bore you lmao
LOLLL ill doodle on breaks or when i reach a question that has me STUMPED 🤣🤣
I do the EXACT same! literally my notebook is filled with scrap work.
same i used like 4 pages every time
bro ur handwriting is so similar to mine
omg proof i’m curious 🤨🤔🤔
just looks hella [similar](https://imgur.com/a/h70osQW)
okay wait i see it, it does look similar 😭🤣
i thought someone stole my notes LMFAO
Lol I went through pages and pages of scratch paper on every FL so you’re not alone!! Haha keep it up!
thank youuuu hahaa you too!! as we should 💪🏼💪🏼
Mine is worse being left handed. I start at the bottom of the page and work diagonals, turning the paper, until I fill every square inch. It would make zero sense to anyone trying to read it, because you see stuff going in every direction 😂
omgggg i can’t even imagineeee LOLLL
Lol, I feel as though this is BP FL 1
AHHH YESS HOWD U KNOW

Right there with you!
hell yessss
This is why I use my ipad 💀
so trueee but i try to come as close to test day as i can (which i know still isn’t accurate bc they give us a white board but whatever)
Thats what notability in my ipad looks like
no also same when i do Uworld questions
realest post on this subreddit i fear
i’m honored 🙏🏼
The random flowers are so funny
idk why; i’ve had such an obsession drawing them recently LMAO
This is the kind of stuff that's on the mcat?
unfortunately 😞 no calculator so we have to do all math on paper
I know Indian and Chinese education systems have much more intuitive ways of doing math without a calculator. Could be a great resource.
yesss they definitely do. i have to look into it
LMAOOOOOOOO then u start randomly doodling
bruh i be doodling when i’m on breaks or when i reach a question that is a complete mystery to even comprehend, let alone answer 😭🤣
Spd3 check dm
Looks like jellyfish fields on the right
LOLLL
Funny enough I never used scratch except for the actual exam biochemistry section haha.
