It seems like people talk about this test as if it were going to test their knowledge of advanced quantum mechanics sometimes.
I've been doing my MCAT prep for the subjects I've already taken the classes for, so I readily admit that I haven't touched anything related to O chem or Physics yet. Maybe those subjects will make the difference. That said, I'm not someone who comes from a science background at all or someone to whom chemistry comes naturally, and yet I usually get almost all of the practice problems I do correct. My background is in liberal arts--my undergrad degree is in English. I'm just not seeing what is so difficult about this test right now. It seems much more basic than my exams in my classes, and I don't attend a school known for its rigor by any means.
Do people just over-exaggerate the intensity of this test, are the practice problems I'm doing way easier than the types of problems on the actual test, or what?
