The general consensus I've seen among my premed friends regarding the MCAT is that the content is a joke, and everyone basically only studies for the application of knowledge part. Actually, plenty took it with just 3-4 weeks of intense FL practice (as I did), because our science exams have prepared us so well.Exactly. If you're at a top tier premed program, it SUCKS being graded on whether you beat all the people around you - much harder to come out top quartile against a bunch of 98-99th percentilers than to know enough to get a high percentage on any reasonable test. Hence the "lol MCAT Ochem is such a joke" attitude at places like Hopkins.
Edit: inadvertent top. HIGH FIVE (Borat-style)
