Is it just me or is the questions in the Ek physics extremely difficult. Im talking about the questions in the text as well as the 30 minute lecture? Any on else having difficulties with these questions. I just got annihilated by Lecture 1- kinematics, which is suppose to be easy?

Thanks

Use BR instead of EK for physics...You should be able to get at least 65% in this chapter...You must be doing something wrong... You are right. This chapter is easier than the others but it is not easy since physics is not an easy subject.

LOL, i remember that. I took my mcat a a year ago though. I think I got an 8 on that first test, the 30 mins test for lecture 1. Don't worry about it, I got a 13 on the real thing =p

i remember there was a question like, someone being shot from a cannon and it asking at what point during the flight is acceleration greatest. (acceleration is constant during a projects flight). Anyways answer choices were like in the muzzle of cannon, middle of flight, prior to landing, or acceleration is constant. I was like...yeah last one. Answer was first one. And if you read the explanation in the back it says something about like how the passage states the person passes out in the cannon, and they are like so the answer must is inside the muzzle. i was just like wtf?

Haha, i remember that one too.

Ek's chapter exams are pretty decent, but a lot of them are pretty facepalm worthy.

"Facepalm" That describes it so well.

The trouble I found with EK physics was that the explanations were so short they were often useless. There questions are tricky, but not in an MCAT way. I didn't think they were helping me, but I do plan to use them for last week review, after I've learned the material from a better source.

The problem is questions on the EK physics tend to ask you for detailed formulas and require more calculations, whereas the actual MCAT is more of the big picture type questions. If you're getting slaughtered over tiny details such as tricky coefficients and other stuff but get the big picture, then I wouldn't worry too much.

Use Berkley asap, EK is a total waste of time.

Use BR then go to EK. EK will be a breeze then.

i REMEMBER that ONE. i started laughing so hard it was hillarious.

on topic though. you should focus on understanding the concepts and just doing tons of practice problems. the concepts will be reinforced that way. EK + TBR + EK 1001 physics = more than enough practice. i think its fine to get some wrong as long as you're improving. you can't remember all of the stuff w/o practicing/relearning.
