NEW section on the Mcat!

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

now im totally sure this title would have attracted all of you
i think
that there needs to be a requirement that doctors should have a bedside manner and a social and not pompus attittude
so
who thinks we should add a social competence section on the mcat =3

Chances are, if you have the confidence and intellectual prowess to sit for the MCAT, you will easily be able to answer common sense questions gauging your social competence. (Not saying that everyone who takes the MCAT could do it - just the majority)

 

[GoSpursGo]

This is what interviews and the OSCE are for. Contrary to popular belief, the MCAT isn't everything when it comes to getting into med school/becoming a doctor

 

[BBender716]

You are an evil, dirty person. I love it.

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

true the interview does that
but.. you can get lucky with that
i opt that we the mcat taker have to deal with 1. cranky old lady, 3 extremely obnoxious kids and 1 depressed and overly medicated sociopath and properly deal with them without offing them

hows that for a amazing test

misleading titles are my specialty =3
they prove to have more epic effect then those with a directly related title

Fine, I guess you could get lucky with your fantasy situation too

Ummm... not sure why that was directed at me

But yes. It was annoying.

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

you cant get annoyed
at somebody whose posts are
all in haiku form

i know right?
they're obviously amazing

honestly would you prefer paragraph walls or my current style of writing. because most people get really displeased with walls and it hurts peoples eyes and stuff..

 

[FlowRate]

I like the thread title.

 

[MeRLin443]

The answer is MMI.

At first I made a mistake quoting you, but then decided to leave it like that to make a point about this thread. Hahahaha.

But seriously, we need a new item in the TOS that addresses intentionally misleading titles. It might be amusing now, but just imagine the jungle we'd have to deal with if even 30% of the threads were like this.

 

[rockaction]

The answer is MMI.

no thanks...tried that, didn't work out.

here's my solution: a Star Wars trivia section on the MCAT. that would be awesome. no prequels though...just the good ones.

 

[RogueUnicorn]

lol ok OP. back to the kid table for you.

That's discriminatory. The Klingon Empire is offended.

 

[FloatOn]

Yup, I'm annoyed. Yet I still read through all of the posts. OP, +0.001

 

[rockaction]

Serves you right for not picking the correct and greatest science fiction franchise ever

 

[FIREitUP]

i heard they're adding a troll identification portion of the mcat. sometimes the questions are portrayed as fact, but instead mislead and annoy.

 

[ziggydoc]

lol I thought this was pretty funny

 

[Myuu]

Hmm. Grading this section would be interesting.

In the cantina in Mos Eisley,
A) A good time is had by all.
B) Luke masters kung fu.
C) Han fires in self-defense after he's been shot at.
D) Han shoots first.

...where A, B, and C result in a point for the social skills section?

I want to answer D...does anyone know where I can buy a DVD set of the non-butchered trilogy?

Edit: Answer A also seems pretty likely.

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

im impressed this lasted this long lol..

I would argue that Greedo did not have a good time.

 

[Longshanks]

I would argue that Greedo did not have a good time.

No he didn't, and depending on whether its the re-mastered version or not changes the answer choice of who shot first

 

[Myuu]

No he didn't, and depending on whether its the re-mastered version or not changes the answer choice of who shot first

No, because I wrote this question and thereby only acknowledge the original. Han shot first.

You mean a proper history doesn't include the following sequence of questions?

Are you sexually active?

Would you like to be?
