most difficult forms?

hey, can anyone who has heard a lot about all the forms guage which forms were the most difficult? would anyone have a rough order of difficulty?

also, i circle the question # on the scantron if I am not sure of something, and then go back to it at the end. I did not erase these circles around question #s, do you think that can mess with the scoring? I did this on the princeton review scantrons, they never had a problem.

thanks

I don't know about anybody else, but I had CG...based on that form...I felt like I studied for the SAT.

Form AN had a killer biological sciences section (no physiology, general bio, etc.) just a whole bunch of bacteriology and immunology. Brutal!

 

[jmnykrkts]

There is definitely a consensus that the F forms (it seems they were all more or less the same) had a VERY difficult verbal section. And a BS section that was weird/hard.

hahaha, i stopped off at my parents place before i went out that night. I started yelling at her i said, "Mom, when i was little and u had me reading the bernstein bears and Go Dog Go how come u never stopped me in the middle and asked me the tone of the author and see if i could predict that the hell we would say next, u know because im a freaking psyhic and all"

I had form CG as well.

Everyone's going to pick their own form. It's impossible to really know which one was the hardest. At the end of the day, it is all curved... i hope 🙁

But i'll say: D form's PS and A form's BS 🙂

Nonsense. Mine was the hardest.

 

[speranza]

Nonsense. Mine was the hardest.

Whatever, B forms were the hardest, hands down. 😉

 

[Andrew99]

E forms. Case closed.

 

[CopticFezz]

Form F verbal was extremely difficult... and i think most of the people agree... right??

 

[Jon Davis]

Form CL's PS blew away all your PS sections away. EVERY PASSAGE WAS HARD!!!!!!!! Only one freebee.

Ok i talked to a lot of friends that took many different forms and this is what i think. A* had a messed up BS section with many passages being of the same topic (mainly bacteriology and NO physiology or OrgChem) there also seems to have been large verbal passages in the A* forms. E people are all just plain complaining about the entire test. I took AS and didnt mind the PS but i heard from a friend that took a D* and he said his was muuder. thats all i know except that i feel like for me (the verbal was a kick in the pants)

lol yea...damn i wish i was asked the tone and main idea of little red freaken riding hood. **** that prolly woulda helped me understand verbal by now.

 

[hopeful_dr]

I'd have to agree--I had form AT and the BS section was the worst section by far... 😡...oh well, we'll just have to wait and see...

I can make a comparison between the FL form I had this past Saturday and the CG form I had in August 2004.

PS was MUCH more difficult on the CG form. The Physics portion had passages on sound waves, magnetism, AC current and even a darn question on quantum physics. Advantage - CG

VR was horrid on CG, much tougher than I ever expected, and quite possibly a bit worse on FL. Advantage - neither

BS on FL consisted of 24 Organic Chemistry questions and two large passages about the kidney. Although I felt extremely well prepared for the BS section I felt as though I struggled greatly on it. In comparison, last August when I took CG I had not taken any Organic Chemistry and as luck would have it my form only had one single Organic Chemistry passage. Although the CG form started off with this killer passage where you had to read a patients stats and essentially diagnose things about them (which I felt would be of great advantage if you were already working in a clinical setting) the remainder of CG Organic was not that bad. Advantage - FL

Overall last years PS was tougher, BS easier and VR a push. I do think I improved this year but that is because of completing two semesters of Organic Chemistry in the mean time and also over 200 hours of prep work since May.

Form CS was a joke.

damn you to hell!

 

[Mutt]

damn you to hell!

Alright! To hell I go!

 

[hippocampus]

what do the letters mean? so similar first letter of the form = similar test? what does the second letter mean?

 

[DesiMcatAcer]

Of course, E!

That's not true at all. It was probably just as difficult as the other forms.

 

[Labslave]

Of course, E!

It's pretty funny...I took the MCAT twice and somehow managed to get form EM both times. Both were incredibly rediculous, although in the end I'm not complaining. 😉

I had EM both times also. I was hoping they were going to be the same. But sadly no.

I think the forms have to do with your state/testing center. I took the MCAT Aug. 2004, April 2005, and August 2005. All three times I had BG. I took the test in NC all three times as well. In addition, I was the first person alphabetically at my test center in April and August of this year (weird because my last name starts with H). I think they give the same order of forms each time, so a lot of it is just luck.

My first two MCATs BS sections were heavy on physiology, hormones/urinary systems, heart/circulation, and mostly biology, not much organic chemistry. So when I prepared this summer for the August one I studied this stuff extensively. I had absolutely none of these questions this past August, even though I had the same form.

It was the same deal with PS. My first two times were very light on general chem, and heavy on physics. So I studied my butt off on physics this summer, only to have my form on test day be almost exclusively general chem stuff.

bottom line: I don't think you can predict anything, and you can know some things backwards and forwards, but it doesn't do you any good if you happen to get the wrong form.

I'm applying again this year. I hope I don't have to retake once MCAT scores come out next month. 😳

What did you guys think of form ck??????????
