I started taking my AAMC's (done 3 tests so far) and my mcat is on 9/11.
Im having a hard time with gchem. Got a 8 and a 10 so far. Timing is the issue. On the 8 I didn't even get to the last 2 pages (left like 8 blank).
Particularly on huge passage questions. Gen chem always overwhelms me in terms of appearance. All the charts and equations. I just drain too much time settling / searching for answers. Seems like when I read the passage carefully the questions are obvious discretes. Then when I scan the passage quickly the questions require me to actually know whats going on.
On the next one im thinking about just reading the beginning to see what the experiment is for and then glancing at the reactions / charts. Reading "student adds 4ml of 10M H2SO4 and then . . . and then . . . " is pointless for me. I don't remember any of it.
I love physics but unfortunately 3/4 of PS is gen chem.
thx for any tips
