I'm always uneasy with titration and equilibrium/solubility. I can do the problems but I always get a little anxious when I see it.

I don't know why but every time Newton's law of gravitation comes up I completely mess it up...I'm fine with the rest of mechanics....wtf

All the fluid stuff usually has me like "....what" when I first read it but I've gotten better. Gen chem wise probably the galvanic cell/electrochemistry stuff

Do you have any good sources to learn lenses?

What I did for my content review. I looked up the topics in, Mcat-review.org to get a quick review. Then I went to Chad's videos.....they helped A LOT!!! Then I went through the book. Thermodynamics isn't half bad but for some reasons I still don't understand lenses.

Hardest topic? Hm, I hate regression discontinuity designs…and interest rate swaps. Oh and don't forget Modigliani-Miller. Doesn't matter how much I study those things, I just can't get a handle on them.

For those of you who hate kinematics, the secret is doing a tonne of practice. Like, every problem in whatever prep book you have on that topic. Don't even complain until you have done every problem.

I used to hate it. In fact, I dropped math in grade 9, avoided math all through college and managed to take physics without a math background. So kinematics was horrific for me. But I'm convinced anyone can do kinematics, if I can. I used think choosing what equation applies is extremely difficult but you get used to the problem types. Now, I know what equation to use before I even finish reading the problem. Blood, sweat and tears, people.


But to answer the question in this thread....my worst topic is anything to do with orgo synthesis. I hope it's not on the MCAT.

Oh, I loved Organic Chem synthesis! It was like a puzzle to solve.

Went from a 509 -> 522 in a week. Should I take more time to study?

Is it worth to postpone MCAT from 5/15 to 5/23 or 5/31 but decrease primary writing time?

For the MCAT, if I feel like I forgot a lot about topic, then is it fine to start relearning that content even if it's 1+ years away from my test?
