I figured I should start this thread/support system. Good luck studying!
I just jumped onto this boat after hearing back from my 1/27 score....
Hello all.
Has anyone else been studying with a fairly heavy course-load/feel really exhausted?
How is the studying going for everyone.?? i still have some more chapters to review....-_-
Pretty swell >_>...I'm gonna use the couple weeks that I'm ahead by in order to review chads or wikipremeds videos for PS. Then I'll move on to practice exams
hey...at least your done w/ content review right? and how were you able to find a spot so quickly?
im dreading reviewing gen chem and physics....are you gonna try and do both or just one?
i did Wikipremed for optics and it was good but wayyyy too long
I'm retaking on the 28th too. Slowly easing into studying using the SN2ED plan. I took it last July so the material is still fairly fresh.
Are any other retakers interviewing at the moment and hoping for a last minute stay of mcat execution? I'm on two wait lists and have 3 more interviews in the next two weeks.
Good luck all!
50 more days ya'll!
If I order TBR exams today will it take time to get to me? Like how long do those take?
BR FL covers 45 days access.
If you mail the form out tonight with (either credit card or cashier check), depends on where you live, hope that the letter arrive at Berkeley, Calif, say Tuesday morning 3/13. DON'T SEND CHECK, IT TAKES FOREVER
Call them Monday AND Tuesday to track if the letter arrives. Request to activate your account immediately or ASAP. You may just lose a day or so.
It seemed to me, based on my experience that Berkeley activate customer accounts in batches according to test date. I could be wrong.
Anyway, if they get your letter with credit card info & they know about your test date, you should be good to go Wednesday.
P.S. They will send to you an email with login and password info. Be sure to check your junk mail folder especially if you use your university email account. A lot of school firewall think the Berkeley is either spam or junk.
So you guys must be almost done with content right?
yeah ive just been stuck on electrostatics for the past 3 days and can't seem to finish this..after this i have to review
fluids
energy
momentum
kinematics
equilibrium
skim acid base, trends
start re-reading ek bio
review o chem because im pretty sure i don't remember any of the reactions we were supposed to memorize
Then ill take a practice test
hoping that will take a week or two....hoping its just a week
what are you guys planning on reviewing before taking your practice test?
Did anyone here order the TBR exams? Which set did you order? I'm tryna look it up online but I really wanna send in the order today and the post office closes in an hour
If you have already been the post office, then it does not matter.
Anyway, it may help you some down the road.
The following is some info I post on anothre April test thread.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The following is from a thread dated3/2/11 from a SDN member BerkReviewTeach:
He compared the 7 BR FL exams.
BR1 - PS (difficult), VR (easy), BS (medium)
BR2 - PS (medium), VR (hard), BS (medium)
BR3 - PS (difficult), VR (difficult), BS (difficult)
BR4 - PS (medium), VR (medium), BS (hard)
BR5 - PS (hard), VR (medium), BS (hard)
BR6 - PS (semi-easy), VR (medium), BS (medium)
BR7 - PS (hard), VR (medium), BS (hard)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I ordered BR 1-5 (set #2) because due to poor plan, we can only have time to do 5 BR FL for the 3/24/12 test.
Hope that helps
Yea, I ordered the same set today. I needed to be realistic with myself-theres no way that I can get those seven tests plus all the practice stuffs I have racked up by this test date. I just hope I did the order form and money order right. I'm actually nervous about having messed that up haha
Thank you so much though!
Well, call them on Tuesday AND Wednesday. The gentleman on the phone I talked to was very patient and friendly. If you give them the advance notice to be sure they are on the same page with you, I don't see why you would not be on line the coming Saturday for your 1st BR FL test.
Oh, when you talk to them, be sure to confirm your email address. Sometimes, it is difficult to see on paper. They messed up ours & we were luck to catch it on time.
Best wishes to you
yeah ive just been stuck on electrostatics for the past 3 days and can't seem to finish this..
Same here man. Some chapters look deceptively short but take forever to complete.
am i the only one here thats sort of scared of taking a FL practice test???

Same...when are you taking yours?
im thinking next week but im super scared that its going to be sub 30s and thats just gonna be devastating...you?
I'm thinking the same depending on how my review week ends. Either way we have the option of either starting next Sunday or the Sunday after that (25th) and still having plenty of time for FL's. And yes I'm really worried about getting sub 30 :x
I already went through tbr so what I'm doing is doing chads videos, reviewing my notes for that tbr chapter and re working passages because I forgot nearly all of them so it's almost like doing them brand new
Edit: I'm also making flash cards as I go along (better late than never?) and I review them all every night before bed. Going HAM from now on! Haha
Yeah man get on it haha let's do this right the first time
Surprisingly I'm looking forward to it. It's about time I nail these pesky PS problems so I'll be the one raping them from now on...not the other way around. That's the spirit you should go with tame the beast don't fear it
And to answer your question, I'll be doing all of physics but only select parts of gen chem
Not acceptable word choice under any circumstances.
I've been guilty of saying stuff like this in the past, but seriously...

are you kidding me dude? shut up lol I don't know what rock you live under. Go study some more.
And this is why crap like 'cultural sensitivity' is going to be tested on the mcat.
I live under the rock that acknowledges that the issue exists and doesn't make light of it. Maybe having friends that have been raped and knowing a person that had to have an abortion due to rape might have something to do with it.
But the likely answer is that I live under a rock. Or maybe that's you.
Oh noes. Wait gaiz. That's teh lulz.
/shrug
Yeah they also want doctors that have a sense of humor and can distinguish when someone means something seriously and doesn't. Having a social life helps with that one and unfortunately that can't be tested. Get off your high horse.
Edit: also enough with spamming the thread with your nonsense, this isn't the place. If you have a problem with something your free to PM me about it.
And back to the real world, aka who the eff brought in crack. I mean girl scout cookies.
