Not supposed to put real ??S on here, but I thought it was EDIT

 

[Sam212]

Ya know the one question about EDIT sleeping pills? Why did the pills not take any effect initially while he was still sober??

choices:

EDIT

Actually there were two questions, pretty similar, one was why did it EDIT after drinking alcohol and the other one was why did he not EDIT.

choices:

EDIT

i wrote the the EDIT answer. i got them down EDIT, but since they said that the alcohol was taken previously, it cant be EDIT, cause there is no alcohol present in the system 🙁 i hope that is right. i think we need the expert teerawit's opinion, god of mcat!

[the alchemist]

am i the only one that thought the BS section was RIDICULOUS?????

i took the mcat form AG last aug but i'm curious to know why u thought BS was ridiculous - ie, if its 4 the same reasons ppl that took it when i did thought so...i'm just wondering if the mcat BS is changing and whether a new trend is afoot. last aug, ppl were really upset with the BS section on form AG b/c there was hardly any orgo and it was heavy on mol bio/genetics/immuno and hardly any physio (Qs on the systems of the body). most of the questions were passages on experimental stuff and understanding it which wasn't bad 4 me since i'm a researcher but i remember alot of grumbling from other ppl i knew. i'm just wondering if the AAMC r changing the BS section so that ppl have questions asking if they understand the critical aspects of scientific experiments - like we had questions basically asking what the controls in an experiment were, etc and if u're not a researcher, this can be hard when u've spent the better half of the day already on other passages, r brain fried, and have a time limit to understand the passage

oh dang sorry aresenic, didnt realize we cant discuss it 🙁 that was very fast though

 

[Arsenic]

I'm pretty sure it was the last option b/c his past alcohol binges induces production of the enzyme, which remained in the body and was able to detoxify the newly introduced barbituate. When he drank alcohol again, EDIT, thus causing the overdose. Can we get in trouble for talking about answers? I thought we just can't steal the materials?

the aamc doesnt want the questions out there since they can be re-used, whether you tear them out of a book, photocopy, or post them on a public message forum its the same idea.

just dont get too specific guys

no prob nekrogg, just talk about the concept that bothered you in general if you want but stay away from identifying a question with too many details or listing the answer choices.

Thanks Arsenic, I'll be sure not to use specifics.

or just pm everyone and get drunk

you're great 🙂

 

[sekem]

guys lets be honest:

Overal all the section were OK!

 

[snowkhat]

Ok, here's what i thought fellow "ag"s

---Some of the physics sucked. I didn't have any real time to calculate my answers. 11 passages, thank you!!! 😱 I hope I get my average score...but who the hell knows?

---I actually thought the verbal was easy. It was a beast but I have done many passages. I guess we will see about that.

---Writing sample....whatever!

----I liked the Bio. section sans the Organic chemistry. WTF! I was sweating that stuff.

Let's pray for good curves!! Relax!

 

[Mr. Tee]

Anyone remember for that convex lens question, if it magnified or shrank???

magnified.

 

[nekrogg]

magnified.

damn.

 

[75969]

magnified.

awe....crap!

 

[Mr. Tee]

i wrote the the EDIT answer. i got them down EDIT, but since they said that the alcohol was taken previously, it cant be EDIT, cause there is no alcohol present in the system 🙁 i hope that is right. i think we need the expert teerawit's opinion, god of mcat!

lol....

uh...what's EDIT? PM me perhaps?

 

[DrVanNostran]

magnified.

Hmm, I dont remember?

 

[Tommyk7]

really? I put enlarged... doh* wait it is enlarged? woohoo!

 

[Mr. Tee]

really? I put enlarged... doh*

lol....same thing

magnified = enlarged

AG 4 life. I took her in 05. Remember, it's all curved and that there are exp questions. Congrats guys, hopefully this is the last time you take it. Go euthanize those brain cells that sold you out; teach the others a lesson.

 

[Nikki2002]

why that's a fine idea!

damn right, survival of the fittest! you'd just be getting rid of the weak ones anyways. 😀

You took silver too? 😛

 

[Neuro27]

I had AG form.

Physical: doable, simliar to practice tests.

Verbal: I was never good at verbal, so always difficult. 🙁

Bio: seemed more difficult than expected and practice tests

I don't think that was the case, from what I read.

[Mr. Tee]

I think alcohol (toxin) does induce the enzyme beforehand and were elevated when pill were taken, thus no effect of pills

It was a competitive inhibitor, not a noncompetitive one.

 

[Neuro27]

[tennisguy896]

[Mr. Tee]

so then alcohol remained in the system by the time pills were taken?

It should if it were competing for the same active site (that's why the further intake of barbiturates never had an effect). Besides, the passage pretty much implied that his alcohol levels never went down enough to prevent inhibition of that enzyme.

I had form AQ, but it seems like we had the same questions. I think all the A's have the same questions, just in different orders. Basically everything I thought has already been said. Last year, my BS had a lot on viruses, this year all anatomy/phys. Who knows anymore. All I know is I refuse to take it 4 times. THis was my third and final time. That's it. No more.

 

[Mr. Tee]

KEY WORD: Sober Even if you are an alcoholic, that does not mean you have a persistent elevated alcohol blood content. Sober=no alcohol.

So? The passage said he took another swig.

 

[Neuro27]

check pm?

right, neuro27 pointed out to me that we were talking about two different things. I didn't know what you were originally discussing since everything was EDITed.

Yeah- it's kinda annoying AMCAS is so anal about discussing qs. Anyways, I'm sure we're probably both right, we just can't adequately explain it with all this generalizing. 👍

 

[SeminoleFan3]

I ended up rushing through the PS section because I thought I wasn't going to have enough time. I didn't get to check anything I wanted to. With the EMFs in PS, were they both reduction potentials, or was one a red. and one an ox? I'm not sure if that's too specific. If so, I apologize.

 

[Neuro27]

Good luck (or too late?) to only those who had AG form! 😀

 

[Mr. Tee]

The one I remember...both were red. pots.

 

[Neuro27]

With the EMFs in PS, were they both reduction potentials, or was one a red. and one an ox?

I remember both being reduction, but I could be wrong. Usually reduction is given, no?

 

[Mr. Tee]

Usually reduction is given, no?

ya, and the equations were written out as reductions. That was a fun passage 😳

 

[j-med]

Yeah, the very last passage took me a fair amount of time and contributed quite a bit to the impending doom I'm feeling right now. It didn't have a lot of organic but what it had was kinda rough. I took all the AAMCs and none of em made me feel gut-punched like right now.

Yeah, they def. didn't have too much orgo this time, and yeah I thought BS was hard! I started on the discretes on the last page first, anyone felt the last bunch of discretes were hard too? And like that one with the terminology, I had not idea what that was. I went on to the first passage next, and I didn't think it was easy either, the rest I don't remember too much, but I feel like they had too many experiment-based passages and it's def harder than the last AAMC practice test I took. Usually for practice tests I have like 5 to 10 minutes left, but this time I just barely finished!


Verbal was okay for me I guess cos I think I was more focused than when I took those practice tests, but anyhow I don't know cos they're so ambiguos! One of the passages-I don't remember which, I think it maybe the one with the politicis/govt policies on taxes .. I think it may be the one that had state tax changes one -- that passage I think took up most of my time

 

[tennisguy896]

Dang it- I keep being too specific!

 

[j-med]

Form AG is definitely representing. I was not aware of how many different forms there were (just look at the threads!!)

Yeah, so what's up with the different forms? Are the questions all different or just in a different order or what? I'm guessing if the questions are entirely different, then wouldn't the curve be hard to calculate???

 

[kevin86]

guys we should use instant messenger

at the mean time, how did everyone think of that neuro one, with hormone that increased the threshold.
