physics

Hey Everyone I am wanted to do my MCAT exam middle of August. I was wondering if you guys think I have enough time to study for the MCAT exam knowing this: I started studying 2 weeks ago and so far have been taking notes on the KAPLAN textbooks. (chose not to do online KAPLAN course, just...

Hi! I am a high schooler currently and will be going into 12th grade next year. Currently my schedule is set as to take physics and Italian honors, but I'm thinking for switching those two out for anatomy. Is physics necessary to get into a college where I want to major in Pre-Vet? I really...

Hey everyone, Was just wondering if y'all could help me come up with some common physics unit values that would be good to memorize for the MCAT. So far I have: 1 Watt/ = 1J/S = kg m^2 / s^3 1 N= 1 kg m / s^2 1 J = 1 N m = 1 kg m^2/ s^2 Hz = 1/ sec Speed = m/s Acc= m / s^2 1 C= 1 amp...

someone shine some hope on me here please. Chem tends to be my strongest topic, but the amount of calculation-based questions for physics on the nextStep FLs C/P section makes me want to pull my beard, especially since I'm bad at doing math by hand and recalling formulas out of thin air. I got a...

Hey Guys, So originally I thought I wanted to take a gap year before I applied to medical school. Recently, I have been contemplating if I should take a gap year. The problem is that I have not taken physics yet. I am planning on taking physics 1 over the summer, but the class won't be over...

***Please feel free to correct me on the timeline process*** I'm a senior high school trying to plan out my college/premed schedule to try to fit in all the prerequisites in 2 years (because MCAT has to be taken before junior year/early junior year + you spend the rest of the year building your...

Hi guys, I found this awesome program at the University of Sussex through UC EAP where I can take 12 quarter credits (8 semester credits) of physics in 8 weeks. I was wondering if medical schools look down on completing premed prereqs abroad. Also, I was wondering if anyone has ever done this...

Last summer, I took Physics 1 algebra-based at UTD and got an A. Unfortunately, I had to retake Physics 1 because I need the Calc-based credit. I am taking it now at Uni (calc based) and stand no chance of getting an A. Since either one can count for med school, can I choose the higher grade...

Hi, I am currently a sophomore in college and have taken general chemistry, physics, English, psychology, sociology, mathematics, and some statistics courses. I will be taking biology and organic chemistry in my junior year, genetics the summer before my senior year, and taking the yearlong...

I have credit for Physics I, so if I take Physics II along with Physics II lab and Intro to Medical Physics, will this be enough physics for med schools?

I am a student at IU Bloomington and we have two physics courses: P201 (Algebra-based) and P221 (Calculus-based). Which physics class will look better to medical schools/selective medical schools for applications? The only difference in the transcript is that 201 (algebra physics) will be...

Hi, I'm currently a freshman and it's my second semester in college. I have some question in regards to taking Organic Chemistry and Physics. From what I researched, Organic Chemistry and Physics is a problem for many pre-med students, and I wonder if it’s smart to have some space between these...

I am having difficulty understanding the explanation of the answers in the EK book. Would someone be able to explain how they they worked out the answers to the following questions please ? Thanks !

I do not have enough time to fit the whole year of physics into my academic plan. Is it possible to apply to medical schools without a year of physics? I will learn it by myself using the MCAT books.

Would it be overkill to be studying every single formula on this sheet? http://mcat.prep101.com/wp-content/uploads/ES_MCATPhysics.pdf Realistically I can't remember 100% of these by the time I take my test so I'm trying to figure which "hard" formulas I should definitely remember before I go...

Hi all, I'm a third year pre-vet student facing some tight ends currently. I had a rough freshman to sophomore transfer which, to put it lightly, screwed up a lot of my credits and now i'm struggling to get all my pre-req ducks in row. So far, actually, everything looks good. If my second...

Since systems move from a low number number of states (lower entropy) to a high number of states (higher entropy)- following the second law of thermodynamics. How does the protein folding move from a high number of potential folding configurations to its theoretical local state follow the second...

So physics has always been my worst subject. I just started studying for the MCAT and thought why not start with my weakest subject? (dont know if this is a good idea or not). But i am using the kaplan physics review book and I am having a difficult time studying using it and I kind of despise...

Hi all guys, I'm a soon to be medical doctor but I'm still concerned about some aspects of EKG (that i'm actually rewiewing :eyebrow:). First of all I still don't understand some of the physics that lies behind it: how is it possible that the PQ tract is isoelettric if the atria are...

Hello everyone, I have applied to honours sciences at Queens University, and got an early acceptance, however, I just applied to medical school in Ireland, and was wondering what my my chances are of getting in. Currently my physics mark is quite low, which I feel may hold me back...

Hello, I need to take BioChem. Unfortunately, I work full time and unable to take time out of my work day to attend an actual class. Has anyone ever taken UNE classes online and still got accepted into dental school? If so, which class or classes? If you happen to know which schools definitely...

Alright it's my senior year of high school, and out of all my classes honors physics is hitting me hard. Mainly because I just don't really have the time to study/do all the hw for that class. I keep doing bad on the quizzes and tests because I don't study for it. I feel like I could learn it...

How do all of you deal with anxiety? Fellow premeds, Orgo students, MCAT takers etc. How when you submit a test is your heart not pounding in your chest waiting for the score? Like what's the big deal if we don't do well? We never give up and keep trying keep trying and keep trying, right...

Hey all! I am currently taking the MCAT in January and Chem/Phys is my weakest section, I am consistently getting around 125 on every practice exam I take. As I have the MCAT in 60 days, I am looking to improve all my sections but especially this one since I can't seem to get the numbers to...

Hi all. Lowest score on my first MCAT was a 121 in CP. I've been going over the CP problems in Khan Academy and make sure I understand the problem and background concept in-full before moving on (this can take >2 hours in some circumstances). I'm attempting to use a question-based approach to...

By "everything else", I mean the day to day of radiology itself, anatomy, pathology, etc. For those that don't like physics but enjoy everything else, did you find it manageable or even enjoyable in the context of radiology?

Hi all. So I'm a current junior taking Physics I as per the traditional route. We had our first exam and while I didn't score much below the average score, I didn't do great either. In fact, I was a few points off from being in what the professor claimed would be an area of concern. The...

Hey all. The college I attend has a BS course for premed students. Is it worth taking? It's two credits and it's considered a "GPA booster". I just don't know if it's worth it. Id be taking it next semester. Next semester I'll be taking Bio Bio Lab Orgo 2 Neuroscience class Genetics Physics...

Hello my name is Becca! I have been tutoring for the MCAT, PCAT and OAT for about six years now, most of that time through Kaplan test prep teaching their large courses, live online, summer intensive and private tutoring and mentoring. I also worked for Next Step Test Prep as a tutor and...

On the 2017 OAT topics list, I don't see magnetism under Physics. Is it safe to say that I won't be seeing this topic on the test?

Hello I'm a biochemistry major and my school only requires lifesci majors to take one semester of physics. The class is called "physics for the life sciences". Im wondering if the topics covered will be enough to do well on the chemical and physical foundations section of the mcat. I have...

So it appears that I bit off more than I could chew and decided to take 6 classes this semester. 1. French II (1-year graduation requirement) 2. Organic Chemistry I 3. College Physics I 4. Cell Biology 5. Honors Seminar (Required Honors Program intro course) 6. Biology elective Being a...

Hi peoples, I have never been a huge math guy, which is one reason why I love biology so much. But I think I have found my academic kryptonite -- physics is killing me and I'm not sure how to get over the hump. I will study and do practice problems for hours but just can't quite master the...

Hi everyone! I'm new to SDN, and I tried my best to look up potential solutions and advice via past threads, but in the end I still want to write a post of my own. I'm currently enrolled in a very tedious and time-consuming intro physics course (mechanics) for which I have AP credit. I also...

Hi all! Quick question: is Young's double split experiment stuff on the exam? The physics section in the Kaplan 2016 prep book barely had one paragraph on it, and didn't talk about any equations like dsin(theta)=m(wavelength) Thanks!

I've read through a number of other threads about this, but can't seem to find one like my situation. I haven't taken all my prerequisites yet, including the necessary Biochem and Physics 1. So, that's why I'm planning to take the MCAT in Jan. I don't think I have time to do a prep course in...
