I never took biochem II, so I never learned about metabolism. I studied for the mcat last summer and memorized some of the pathways, but have forgotten them (never ended up taking the exam). I am studying again now for my test in July, and I would not be able to tell you all of the intermediates in any of the pathways.
I pretty much have just read through the BR chapters and watched khan academy videos, but I don't feel like I have retained much. I could probably analyze a pathway in a passage if it was given to me.
Do you think I'd be okay just memorizing the overall reactants/end products for each pathway and the regulatory steps? I think I'm okay forfeiting the one discrete that might require knowledge of the intermediates if it means I don't need to spend 4999 hours trying to cram the pathways into my head so that I can just forget about them the next week (especially when I could be doing other mcat practice).
