Before the MCAT starts,when you are first seated

when you are first seated,I thought you were allowed to write stuff down on the scratch paper

I do better when I have the equations for physics in front of me.

so I'd write(if what I have read is true)
*WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW FOR EQUATIONS FOR THIS QUIZ BESIDES WHAT IS BELOW?
PERHAPS THE EQUATIONS/CONCEPTS FROM THIS LINK?

• cos (0) = 1; sin(0) = 0
• cos(30) = 0.9; sin(30) = 0.5
• cos(45) = 0.7; sin(45) = 0.7
• cos(60) = 0.5; sin(60) = 0.9
• cos(90) = 0; sin(90) = 1

• 1/o + 1/i = 1/f
• m = -i/o
• p = 1/f

Linear Motion

v = v0 + at

d = v0t + 0.5at^2

v^2 = V0^2 +2ad

vavg = 0.5(v + v0)

yeah you can. i think you have ~ 10 mins to do so, during the tutorial...

Just my 2 cents,
Commit these common equations to your memory by doing more practice problems untill you can fully understand and manipulate them. There will be no time for that and you will panic when you don't get them right. By the time you are ready, you just need to relax and calm down. 😀

yup and I found the thread that mentions this already

Sorry, no hard feeling
But if you insist, I can give you a list of common topic reviews to consolidate your thought process. Topics include Kinematics and Mechanics, Work-Energy-Momentum, Electric Power and Circuits, Electricity and Magnetism, Fluids and Solids, Thermodynamics, Periodic Motion-Wave-Sound, Light-Optics, Atomic-Nuclear, aslo some of Gen. Chem as well. Just let me know what you need to know.

I dont really know what I need
I am starting to do lots of questions from the EK 1001 series and I wil start taking AAMC full lenghts in a week or so.
Look at the page I linked to and give me what you think were the hardest ones for you?
I dont need to know stuff like the hardy-wineberge equation? I understand the concept of it, but really? do I need to know it? the EK audio guys say stuff like Lens equation I dont need to memorize, I need to understand it and that part, understanding ,is easy, you gotta understand if you want to learn it.

I was told you can do this too, but one of my friends did this and the person in the examination office told her to throw it away...

Here are the common confusions and tricks that I found in these equations in addition to others.

1) Bernoulli's Equation (Fluid dynamics). P + 1/2pv^2 + pgh = constant.
2) Osmotic pressure pi = MRT.
3) Photon energy. E = hf = hc/lamda.
4) Work function. W = hf (f is a threshold frequency)
5) Nuclear binding and mass defect. E = mc^2
...
Mostly I think they'll be given in a more subtle way (like extensions to these fundamental equations).

and if your friend was told it was against the rules to go to the bathroom, would they have not gone and wet their pants?

honestly yeah he could have reported that to AAMC, because it is allowed

 

[Sed8&Intub8]

...and your point is?

 

[Ferocity]

...and your point is?

From my training in verbal passages, I believe that his inference was that one should probably wear diapers to the testing center in order to avoid getting one's pants soaked in urine.

 

[watchntv]

like all choices you must determine the cost/risk

 

[TieuBachHo]

Well, that is more likely an outside knowledge since he/she didn't mention anything 'bout diapers.
So that would leave you with these options.
1) Your friends must violate the rules and go to the bathroom.
2) Your friends wet their pants by not going to the bathroom.
3) Your friends have psychotic episodes that result in being dismissed.
4) Your friends wear diapers to the testing center.

Well, I'll pick #2 since it's more likely a correct choice.
1) too extreme
2) a good candidate.
3) out of scope
4) outside knowledge.

What do ya all think? I am just playing my part. Don't mind me LOL

Well I didn't say not to do it, because I surely am, I was only stating an occurrence that had occurred.

You are in the verbal zone. (Pre-?)congrats on your 11+ VR 😉

thoughts on what to write?

When I take a practice test I would write down stuff that I had problems remembering, in that 10 min window prior to starting. After 7 practice tests you find you don't even need to do that anymore. What I find helpful though is if you draw out a galvanic cell labeling the anode and the cathode and what goes on in each side, flow of electrons, flow of cations, plating, precipitate, etc. Draw out the EM spectrum and label each side with low frequency long wavelength and vice versa. Pretty much stuff you know but would take longer to arrive at if you didn't have it in front of you.

#1 is obviously wrong, since it is NOT against the rules to go to the bathroom during the test
so you are left with choices #2 and #4
#2 is obviously wrong since going to the bathroom doesnt always mean you'll urinate(even though the [SIZE=-1]sphincter muscle that you relax to poop is also helping to hold in urine, hence why you tend to urinate when you pass feces)
#4 is the obvious choice, as long as you are wearing
[/SIZE]#3 is obviously wrong as if you wanted the test dismised you can null it at the end of the exam
