Here are my resonance structures. Unless I'm doing something wrong, both attacks have one resonance structure that is a tertiary carbocation.

I did 2 FL's which took me about 10 hours. then i took an Hour break and continued to go through the FL's which took close to 3 hours. then i just started reading up on Hormones cuz that's where i got most of my questions wrong. 16 ****@ng hours 😡

That's really amazing 👍👍 Wish I could keep concentration for 5hrs 😛 Why so much studying in one go?

Except that the in the top set of resonance the hydrogen next to the carbonyl is more acidic I think? because it can resonate with the carbonyl when you remove it. I drew a picture but messed up when I realized the same thing you did. Let me just draw a simplified version.

Alright cool, that would be awesome
 
No there isn't DUR. Fail on my part. Ignore my drawing. Because you wouldn't break aromaticity in the second ring haha. They have it right.

Make sense?

Duh! Wow, I feel dumb now haha. Yeah that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the help!
 
Its ok. I feel dumb too....drawing all those resonances....I drew the same thing you did and was stuck haha.

Ha well I'm glad we figured that out because now I can sleep...lab in 6 hours. Night Tatertots and rest of '17!
 
Aug. 12 for me!
I'm scared sh*tless though. I'm finding that at times I'm uber confident and at other times, it's like all hell broke loose =\
 
Have you guys hit your goal for avg MCAT scores on practice tests?
 
Have you guys hit your goal for avg MCAT scores on practice tests?

Considering I've only taken two tests so far... no, lol. But no, so far I am far from happy with my average. I'll probably take my first AAMC in a few days to see where I'm at with a different test format, I've only taken Kaplans so far.

When are you taking your MCAT, tman?
 
Oh, also, EVERY time I see you post tman, I think I'm talking to Aishwarya. It's kind of weird. Dhoom 2 on the brain, apparently... 🙄
 
I hit my goal on my first two tests but not on my third test =(. My Average is a little lower than where I want it because of that third test =/

How about you?

I haven't hit my goal either, but I'm seeing an upward trend. Hopefully I'll be where I want to be by test day. Still finishing up some content review.

I've only taken Kaplan FLs so far, too. Saving the AAMC ones until I'm done with content review. I'm taking it in sept 🙂

Gentlemen. We are close to 3000 posts. Do your part. Contribute and let us reach our objective before friday.
 
But we'll definitely hit like 50k by next year 😛
 
We'll just have to pick up the slack. 31 you 31 me bada bing bada boom.
 
Ambitious goals require serious dedication. I will lay the foundation.
 
everyone is working hard studying for mcat. I may have to do this on my own
