I recently graduated from a top university with a cgpa of 3.5 and a sgpa of 3.0. I have been enrolled in about 24 units of post bacc credit so far and have a post bacc sgpa of 3.75. I am enrolled in about 16 units currently and I am studying for the mcat. I also plan to take another 7-11 units...

:confused: I can't seem to figure out how ~730 Mg/h is 73 mg/h at 15 degrees Celsius. Honestly, I have no idea how to approach this question at all:(. :help:

I'm a student from Puerto Rico interested in going to Med School in US. I'm doing a dual degree in chem and microbiology. My GPA so far is 3.81. I have done 3 (12 credits) years of research in biomedicine and genetics with two different professors. Also, I did a co-op with a pharmaceutical...

Is EK physics good enough for the new MCAT? Content and Question-wise?

Hey everyone! I wanted to ask to those who have taken the new MCAT to answer these questions and to help out a fellow premed :) 1) What company did you use (princeton/kaplan/examkrackers/etc.) 2) What books did you use (kaplan 528/princeton biochem/etc.) - You can say "I used all of TPR books"...

I am selling the Science Workbook, CARS Workbook, and In-Class Compendium individually. They are very difficult to find and provide great practice. These copies have never been used and are in brand new condition. PM for offers!

Hi guys, I would like to apply for the upcoming cycle. However, I am not really happy with my MCAT score, so I am considering to retake it. I am a double major (non-science/science). My BCPM is 3.81, and my cGPA is 3.795 (upward trend after moving to the U.S, and all science classes taken in...

What do you guys recommend is the best for reviewing general chemistry for the MCAT 2015? I took general chemistry dual enrollment as a Junior in high school at a local college and then transferred the credits to the 4 year university where I'm getting my bachelor's in biology. The course I took...

Hello All, I am looking for a little bit of advice on Practice tests... So I have already taken 7 kaplan Tests (8-10 and 1-4)... and my score on the last two were 506/505. The next text I am going to take in the next couple days is the AAMC (non-scored) to give me some more AAMC practice and...

For those that have taken the new MCAT, which classes have you taken and which did you think REALLY helped? Use the list above please and state any others if you thought it helped:

I couldn't really find a tangible, unequivocal answer online. Which books are good for the new 2015 MCAT? From what I've gathered, Kaplan is great for content review but lacks in questions and is seen as too easy and Princeton goes too in depth. I've read that the Berkeley review is also great...

Ok, to those who have done well on this section....What did you do? I am lost trying to even start studying for this section. I am scheduled for 5/20/2016 and keep hearing how bad all the review books are. What books/study aids do you recommend for this section. I have taken no psychology or...

Hello! With the new MCAT this year what are some courses you all would recommend taking before this new test? I'm attempting to write out my schedule with my recent major change and want to know what is essential for this new test! I have 2 semesters before my intended MCAT semester.

What is the best schedule in your opinion for getting all the new pre-reqs done for the 2015 MCAT (including biochem, psychology, and sociology) in your freshman and sophomore year? I want to MCAT study the whole summer after sophomore year and take the test sometime in late august/ early...

Hello everyone. I am trying to figure out the ideal time to take the MCAT. At my university, most take their MCAT at the end of spring semester of junior year (May MCAT), which allows gen chems, bios, orgos, physics, and biochem, to be completed before taking the test. However, this also means...

I know biochemistry is important for MCAT 2015, so I want it to be fresh in my mind while taking it. I plan on taking the MCAT at the end of May 2017. Should I take Biochemistry Fall 2016 (before I start to study for MCAT) or Winter 2017 (while studying)? I want it to be fresh in my mind, but I...

I was wondering if it mattered what FL's you could take even though you might have prepared using different products? My university had a prep course of their own and their own FL. So I only prepared for the MCAT based off of their materials, but I want more FL's to take, so are there any...

I was looking up study resources for the mcat and i found this website that has a bunch of stuff about the mcat and lists all the resources i've heard of. the site looks super fancy but i havent heard anything about it. Do you guys think it's a good site to use or no?

All comments are welcome. A little about me: Took the previous MCAT twice, scored a 26 and bombed the second time around--as you can tell, my confidence is at 0. The two previous times I took the MCAT were during/directly after the semester. Now, after finally graduating and taking some time for...

I am trying to take the mcat 2015 in January. I've studied mostly using exam kracker + Kaplan psy/biochemistry I'm wondering if these are the best books to use so if anyone who has taken the exam wouldn't mind posting their score and prep materials/stratigies used that would be great! Also...

Both my science and cumulative GPA are sitting around a 3.3, just graduated In college I went through some family issues, so these numbers above are not as high as I would have liked them to be. I decided to give my dream one last push and managed to score a 522 on my MCAT, a 99th percentile...

Can someone please explain the difference between FT-NMR and CW-NMR? Also how do they affect chemical shifts?

Hi! I am currently making a study plan to study for the mcat. Here is my situation now. I graduated as a bio major last May. I have not taken psych in college because I took AP psych in highschool. I did one semester of soc in my sophmore year but don't remember much of it because it because...

I received my MCAT scores about a month ago and performed horribly (I have been sulking for two weeks but feel fine now). I got a 497 (128 in C/P, 121 in CARS, 124 in both bio and psych). I believe that my prep for the exam was ineffective and I do have potential to do better (this has been a...

So I got my initial MCAT score and was satisfied after finding out I got a 512. But looking at the subject breakdown, I was wondering whether I would have to write the exam again. This is the breakdown: Chem/CARS/Bio/Psych: 126/129/125/132. If my bio section is my weakest section would I have to...

Hi, I graduated with my B.S. in Chemical Engineering in Texas this year. I'd really appreciate some planning advice. As far as I understand, engineering courses strictly don't count as science courses anymore in BCPM (a med advisor at my school said that). If that's the case, my final cGPA is...

To start off, I am a sophomore, so I will not be taking the MCAT until 2017, but I'd like some advice on how to schedule my classes over the next couple of years so that I'm fully prepared to take the MCAT. I had one semester that I switched majors and did not get a normal amount of science...

Timing is everything when taking the MCAT! If you are planning on applying to medical school Summer 2016 or 2017, it’s time to make some decisions about when you will take the MCAT, if you have not already done so. Since the exam carries so much weight, identifying and following through with...

Hi! If you had to choose between EK, TPR, or BR for psych/soc and biochem, which book company would you choose? I already have the complete old BR set (not the updated one), the complete TPR Hyperlearning and Examkrackers 1001 physics, gen chem, and 101 verbal passages. I took psych and soc...

I am considering the review courses for the 2015 MCAT and I was wondering how much you all improved from the diagnostic or your first practice test? (Now that you have the real scores back.) I am considering the Kaplan "advanced" course but I want to know that I'll improve substantially...

Calling the advice, support, and motivation of all future doctors... I took my first "practice test" today (GS-Free) and received ~495. My goal is 520+. I'm planning on taking it January 23, 2016. I graduated in May, so all I'm doing now is studying for the MCAT (goal is 10+ hours a day, but I...
