Anyone had this form?



...anyone??

I did. It was so hard!!! Physical science was weird.

I had it also.

seemed hard, but I haven't been scoring high on practise exams either. Spoke to two guys who also had AG and they said it seemed a little harder than practise exams.

Normally I do pretty well on verbal, but this time around I found it pretty rough (it seemed to have alot of soc/humanities type stuff on it).

ah well, it's over now......
IT's ALL OVER!!!!!!😛 (yes I AM a drama queen!!)


Cheers,

I had form AG. It kind of sucked, there was more electrochemistry and inane physics questions than I would have liked. I got a kick out of the question asking about
E = + or E = - and G= + or G = -

... i dunno, I actually think I did alright, but that is generally b/c I ace the first 3 passages (b/c they are always so easy). This means I just need to get 70%+ correct on the rest of the exam, which I think I did. I even had to derive some physics equation... totally pulled that one out of my butt! the passage said EQ=F .... W = FD = EQD
I got a kick out of that one. I am thankful that the electrochem questions were fairly basic otherwise I could have gotten smoked.

Verbal - after all the whining I've seen.. ok ok, the verbal was tough, but I still don't think it was any harder than the verbal from the 6r.

Biology - I thought that some of the questions/passages were really tough to get through, but the questions were doable.... except some of the really stupid obscure bio questions. I think that form AG had quite a lot of organic chemistry ... I swear it was ~45%! That makes me feel like I didn't do badly at all.

Hoping to repeat or beat my 6r 11/11/11.....
I really hope it worked out well. I did not like the fact that test seemed to ask the same question twice. IE - induction

I thought that the verbal was a little more difficult than usual... I had a hard time in particular on the passage about truth and justice. But I think the science sections were of similar difficulty to the AAMC practice tests.

"Verbal - after all the whining I've seen.. ok ok, the verbal was tough, but I still don't think it was any harder than the verbal from the 6r. "

I think you'd have a little different opinion if you had the form I had- I though 5r and 6r were easy- got 11's on both I think- NOT so much on this one
every passage was like the picasso one in terms of level of difficulty- pretty unfair I would say on the part of the AAMC, but then again, whatever, its over

From what I read almost all the forms had the same passages/questions ... so yeah, I still think it was doable... and yes I think I got an 11 or higher.

I thought there were some tricky ass questions on Verbal. The passages were definately interesting reads in my opinion. The geographic location in terms of world domination potential at the beginning of the 20th century was fun to read, but the answer choices were ambiguous.

The bio section was.. eh. There was a stand alone question regarding where breathing is regulated. It gave choices between the alveoli and medulla oblangata. I knew breahting regulation was done by the medulla, yes.. but it said "Baroreceptors IN the medulla oblangata." The baroreceptors pick up CO2 concentrations in the CSF in the ventricles. But the other answer choices regarding the alveoli I thought were wrong, if it said stretch receptors.. maybe.

And some of the ochem were difficult too.

 

[peterockduke]

I would really like to know how many orgo questions people thought was on form AG. This IS afterall, my strongest section... I really felt like there was a good deal, but I can't remember.

passage 1) epoxide/carbocation intermediate
passge 3) was also ochem i just don't remember it

Passage 7 or so) flourombacil (the crap that linked between DNA molecules)... big long, but easy mechanism

Lots of discrete...

I felt like there were at least 4 passages of orgo + discretes... there's no way that we could have had less than 33 questions of organic... WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

 

[TTSD]

Right right, that FIRST question on Biological section.. which one of the following has the LOWEST potential energy from mechanism A?

I immediately put down the one with the tertiary carbocation.. then did a double take when I saw the PRODUCT as an answer choice. Wow, tricky bastards.. lol

 

[peterockduke]

I did the exact same thing! I remember just going through the motions on that question... then deciding I would look at the other answer choices. Gee I'm thinking anything w/o an epoxide is gonna be stable....

but estimate how many orgo questions you thought there were?

 

[TTSD]

Too freakin' many in my opinion.

But was that the right answer? Product should have the lowest potential energy in my opnion. But we're trained like Pavlov dogs to go straight for the tertiary carbocation when we see one.

the water flea and the droplet...that question keeps resurfacing in my mind and is slowly driving me mad. Picture a gremlin trying to climb out of your head using an icepick...that's how it feels. I hope it was experimental. It's like i'm constantly fluctuating scores in my head, between the glorious and the horrible...it's like being a teenager feeling great one minute and then depressed the next. ARRG.
