Anyone else having a really tough summer? I will be taking my summer Orgo final the same day as my PCAT. I need all the strenght to pull through.
Im in Maryland Baltimore to be specific so if anyone has any advice please drop it here
 
Stupid to do both. PCAT marathon you want do YOUR BEST AT. You'll get worn out. Ask you teacher to delay orgo final. or take SEPT 2015. You want do your best without regret I could have changed this, change that, yaya.
 
Finally asked my Orgo prof to give me an alternative date..that will be friday the 11th
 
*_* bummer
PCAT focus only
focus not on ochem test
you can only do real well on one.
FOCUS your strength on CHEMISTRY PCAT
THEN BIOLOGY
-For writing, i know you stress, take as warmup, let your thoughts flow free then correct. I mistake by being correct without focus on freethought response. end up tweaking essay in p2+p1 without much content.
-Take bio as knowledge, this stuff interesting, take it as a biology nature challenge game. think of chem as biology of liquids with calculations. see yrself as druggist, chemist helping people make concutions @ yr pharmacy and what your doing: calculations as important because your calculations of drugs means people life and death.
-reading, just enjoy it, the answer right there.
-math: do easy first/ don't spend too much time searching 4 easy quest cause wasted my time/ kinda attempt each quest and if hard move on, if easy do it / REMEMBER yr there to rack up points on math, more u get right, better yr score, remember dont rush a problem, finish it entirely, one wrong move and u lose yr score on that question/ that why becareful with signs +/-. u have DO CAREFULLY, dont want finish problem only go back and check if u got signs correctly, do it one carefully slowly so u no go back. U want to do it right 1st time so u only have to glance over yr work to see if it right, then move on. do it once, finish n go, but b4 i go ill glance 4-5secs if my work is alright 🙂. hence u need be slow and fast same time. u know when. Its like doing a flip, finish your cartheel then do backflip. the better u do the cartwheel the better yr backflip: higher. if u rush =mean u sccare n u fall or jump low on backflip.

EAT AFTER TEST. Stupid not too. Bring something good, delicious, that you look forward devour after test.
*GOOD DELICIOUS HANDYDANDY*
Bring 2 bottles of ENSURE vanilla, one banana, apple
lemon lime juice is good for you!!
If I were you I'd drink lime juice before test and break. LEMON LIME =MEDICINE
i got those cliff protein bars for break and they were so dry...

Another GOOD IDEA= WHEN you rest have alarm watch where u can doze off for 5 mins. Lie on the ground in rest area and put your legs up on wall like: L or peprendicular. that way not only u rest, u also have blood flow going down to your brain. reverse blood flow. Normally we only use 25% blood to brain 50% blood if we really use it, but lying down, 100% blood > brain NOURISHMENT. When I had a 50% comp my brain was butter after test.

another tip from expert est takers: during test, phase out everything around you. make it seem as if test is only thing you know how to do, not have to do, so you do well like its normal breathing.
 
hey streetfighter u have tips on any of sections? im gonna retake it. i have worries on math n reading. im gonna use collins for it.

hahaha,thanks dude you cracked me up and educated me a thing or two!!
The Comedian-Pharmacist you are!
 
VISUALIZE IMAGES biology, chemistry, math, VERBAL,
VISUALIZE Author's heart & mind 4 READING. But becareful, they make throw assumption questions that make sense but without proof. So search proof support AUTHOR'S mindset=answer. THis is something I'm working on.

chem-99 lowest =9% <-this sect propels u up. DO WELL HERE!!!!! U CAN DO IT 99% SOME GUY SDN told me i can and i did, now i pass torch to u. He said it wasn't too hard u can do it. If u can do it, pharm school should be easier.
bio-89
verb-82
math-39 lowest =2% highest 55% real proud of this 😀
read 41 highest =48%

Bro or girl, i interviewed @ mercer and they LOOK AT SCIENCE PCATS / gpa =predict success/failure =>complete pharmD. MATH is 2nd big/ my guess.

U use Dr. COLLINS? Im confuse about e- affinity and ioniz trends, pcat packet said they

do well on section u like the most. make yourself and mommy proud.

WEN U learn ,GET TIRED -> SLEEP RIGHT AWAY. MATH teacher told me recharge brain.
during test, WATCH YOUR BREATH. BREATHE IN AND OUT COMFORTABLY. THAT IS YOUR TIME CLOCK and brain nourish. keeps yr heart stable no anxious.

run, pushups feel better wen study / test taking.

Don't stress yrself friend, u can take it another time if u fail. if u fail, learn as much from this test as possible when u get loss, so u remember and do well next time as u review. if i know i wont do my best ill learn as much as I can while reading questions. Think of PCAT test as learning in the present. that way u wont make mistakes reading question and wont feel its just EXERTION test, but INPUT and EXHALE test

SEE IMAGES
BREATHE=most important clues i give u
