    UWorld Clarifications

    1) On UWorld, it says dNTP cleavage is exergonic but phosphodiester bond formation is endergonic. I thought bond formation is exergonic since energy is released whereas cleavage is endergonic since energy needs to be put in? Unless this is the only exception? 2) Increasing carbon-oxygen bond...

    Exam Krackers score relative to real exam

    Less than 3 months, and I only have the TPR set - best schedule?

    I've been browsing the forum and alot of schedules rely heavily on EK or TBP, and I can't seem to find one that focuses more on TPR. Anyone have any suggestions? Edit: I would also like to incorporate khan academy if possible

    MCAT Timing Questions (finishing early)

    I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way as I understand this is a nice problem to have. But I've found that I'm finishing in roughly half the allotted time (e.g. I started a FL today exactly at 8 and I finished around 11:30). I have a couple questions about this - 1) On test day, do we...

    Formula Sheets

    Do many people make one? Like memorize it and then dump it on the scratch paper once you sit down? Or is it more useful to just learn the relationships between variables?

    Studying using 2011 TBR so what should I do about biochem and ochem?

    I'm using the old version of the Berkeley Review to get ready for the exam, but I am worried that the 2011 version that I am using will not adequately cover biochem. Also I think their ochem might be more in-depth than I need for the 2015 MCAT. Any suggestions as to what I should do especially...
