I just though tthis could be a useful thread. Post what you think about exams, specific questions, your scores, tricks, techniques....anything that could be usefull for other MCATers.
to you all



Hi,
How do you convert your scores on the 30 min exams?
Physics

2 - 12
3 - 12
4 - 13
5 - 10
6 - 13
7 - 11
8 - 15
Bio -
1 - 14
2 - 13
3 - 12
4 - 12
5 - 11
6 - 10 (glomerular filtration passage kicked my ass super hard)
7 - 13
8 - 15
9 - 14
General Chem
1 - 14
2 - 12
3 - 12
4 - 13

O chem

Verbal
didn't write down.
The huge problem I see with the EK 30-minute tests is that they are VERY specific to what EK teaches and how the EK chapters teach. There's not really that much critical thinking as long as you remember what EK stresses in the lecture. I don't think this is a good way of studying, so mixing up test materials is probably a good way to be more well rounded.
geez... i have the facts down cold... I am nailing literally almost every independent question... but can't seem to get more than 3-5 right for each freakin' passage... this blows![]()

lecture 2 bio----> 7![]()
i guess i discovered my first weak spot![]()
I got a 6 on bio-2 lecture exam. I got a 9 on physics-2.![]()
yeah i hate this.
The problem is that have i done really bad on the in lecture desctetes then i would know i have obviously a problem with genetics and that i need to study it more. But now i am just simply confused.
I will see how i do on my first FL(i hope sometime this weekend if time permits) before i start freaking out.
9 on the physics is not bad.
Their questions are insane. I find them really hard, deffinetly not like the read MCAT questions i have seen.
Yeah, those questions are hard. Genetics has become a completely esoteric subject for me.
I wouldn't worry about it though, the EK people packed a little note with the materials, and they said that those questions are harder than the real test questions. The difficulty is comparable to the questions in the Kaplan MCAT 45 books, if you have seen them. Those suck too.
Good Luck![]()
what's better to do...these 30 min exams or EK 1001? I've been doing both but the 1001's are really killing time haha

Orgo 1: 7
more exams today and tomorrow...
ok...done with EK orgo lecture 1. I got a 10 on the 30-minute exam.
But maaaan it was crazy.
It had absolutely nothing to do with the material they talked about in the lecture. Maybe i am just retaredbut it was hard
