    Taking the DAT before o chem

I'm trying to adjust my study schedule to make up for this and any tips would be much appreciated! I'm using CourseSaver...

    B's in O-Chem, but chances at top tier?

    Hi everyone! I just took my O-Chem II final and I'm freaking out.

This year, I was off to a rocky start, I got a C- on my first test, but then started...

    Hopefully not too long of a read, tried to be as brief as possible.:) I'm currently in my first semester of the second year at a local community college. I've heard that some med schools don't care while others do, but I'm not going to dive into that. I've already been accepted to two of my top...

    Is the 2016 MCAT likely to include IR spectrum questions?

    I know that IR spectra questions did exist on the old MCAT, is it known if they're phasing it out at all?

    Orgo Vent

    I got my first Orgo 1 test back today and I'm really frustrated with myself. I practiced lots and thought I had a pretty good handle on the material, but I made lots of small errors that added up to a lower grade than I would have liked. Things like drawing the lines wrong in a chair...
