"Students don't read text"
I usually bet three or more of my classmates in General chem 2. There is one guy that keeps beating me by a few points. He does not read the textbook. I know this is true because we have studied together. All he does is look over the lecture notes and practice problems. I tend to try and comprehend each and every word in every chapter. This ultimately gives me less time to do practice problems because I have spent so much time going over the concepts before practicing. Our exams consist of math problems and only a few questions for understanding. So he is more prepared for the mathematic side of things. However in class when the professor asks a question to test understanding he does not know, I always/usually do.
Do you guys think this means I will most likely score higher on the MCAT? I'm beginning to think this may explain some of the disparities between lower GPAs and high MCATs. At least I hope thats an accurate statement.
