I see a lot of these random "MCAT question of the day" places and even some posts on this forum about these specific obscure minutiae. It was my impression that these kind of pure rote memorization questions are not really what the MCAT is about, but admittedly, I haven't done tons of studying for it yet. Am I not correct in thinking this? I don't see how pure rote memorization of random names and facts is going to transfer over to a good MCAT score if I'm understanding the principles of the test correctly.
Just to be clear, I'm not talking about something that tests broad knowledge just with specific examples, but something like "Which one of these proteins doesn't regulate another one of these?" or something where there's literally no inferences to make other than to know the answer.
