I thought the physical sciences were a notch tougher than the kaplan physical sciences. I got a 12 on my last aamc which was my highest. On the aamcs i usually have a good feeling of how well i would do on my exam. On this test i really have no clue. Alot of it was guessing. I thought i was good at circuits but that fan one blew me away. I didnt really get to that one with the 2 objects away from the earth. I just guessed. I was somewhat surprised that physics would be so hard cuz the aamcs were cake which was what i was expecting. For verbal i thought it was cake compared to the usual. It was alot easier than aamc 7 and 8. But i screwed up going alot slower than usually and prolly guessed on like 10-12 questions. I felt good after the bio section. only 2 orgo passages. the last 4 question one was tough though. If i had to guess my score, it would be 9P 6V 11B. I guess i had higher expectations
 
I agree. The PS was a little tougher than the TPR diags I took. A lot of the PS passages were experimental, and therefore, I burned a lot of time reading them. I've been wondering about one question in the last passage of the BS section. It was an orgo passage about H NMR, and the question was whether 2 compounds were diasteriomers or entaniomers. I think I put down d) diasteriomers. Anyone remember that question?
 
yeah, i put d) diasteriomers as well, but i dont remember the question being about NMR

I felt that PS was hard, VR was easy then really hard in the end. BS was hard, but on good topics. little genetics, easy orgo.
 
Yeah I put diastereomers as well. I think that this test could go either way. I've been trying to think of questions and how well I probably did, but I can't do it. I'm just going to throw myself at the mercy of the curve.
Good Luck Guys!!!!

I put diastereomers as well, since there were 2 stereocenters and only one of them were inverted. And I agree, PS sucked big time compared to the aamc practice tests.
 
I also put diastereomers (I think...I hope). Call it test anxiety, but I messed up the meso compound question and I haven't quit kicking myself since. I thought Bio was harder than the other aamc tests, but PS was easy.
 
yeah, i screwed up the one signal 9 hydrogens question in bio.

i had down 1 signal and 3 hydrogens, for tert butyl bromide, i believe. Thats wrong right? ahh fark
 
Hi guys,

for the ABO blood type question regarding the genotype of an AO person according to hardy weinberg, did you guys put {edited}? I think this is the right answer but after changing my answer 4 times (yes, all four bubbles were circled at one point or another), I decided on {edited, specific item info}! Grrr!
 
logically it had to be {edited, specific item info}
I'd never seen a {edited} eqn before, but no other option makes sense. if "AB" were not a separate phenotype it might be {edited} but since {edited}, it can only be the {edited}
 
yeah, damnit, i forgot to go back and change that 9 hydrogen answer. I knew it was wrong after seeing that NMR chart in a later problem, but forgot to go back and change it! DOH!

12 -> 11 🙁
 
Hope to provide a little clarity here. I did not take this administration of the MCAT so I cannot know the exact question. I can tell you, however, that absent a very unusual situation, all of the hydrogens in a t-butyl group are equivalent on an NMR trace. So unless the question specified cryogenic conditions or some steric lock that prevents free rotation about a carbon-carbon bond axis, then all hydrogens show up as one peak.
 
I put that they were diasteriomers also. In addition, it was a one peak with 9 hydrogens. 🙂
