so i was told today by an MCAT teacher that i only had good test taking skills and had no real basic chem knowledge. now, i was an chem major as an undergrad, have tutored many people in it, and got an 11 on my PS. i prefer reasoning out my chemistry than just plain memorizing... this women clearly disagreed by questioning me on almost every stupid little chemistry fact...
this made me ponder, am i the only one who thinks through chemistry instead of memorizing it?? and on the mcat, shouldn't logic be as important (perhaps more) than plain memorization??? when i took the mcat, i looked at the chem section and thought: i have so much more to memorize for bio & phys, why not just make this logical than more facts to know....
am i alone in this thinking?? (i hate how other people's observations make you question yourself!)
