So I just finished the questions at end of chapter 1 in gen chem and really struggled with completely all the calculations accurately under timed conditions. Is the mcat as math heavy as TBR passages? I found that my timing was much better on the more conceptual passages than on the passages where majority of problems involved multistep calculations and conversions. I understand exactly how to perform the calculations but am not fast enough i guess, especially when you need to estimate fractions, etc. I probably struggled the most on the 13 discretes since none of them were conceptually based. Doing them in 1:30 is rough. I think I'm gonna practice with EK 1001 before i tackle TBR passages as a way of warming up. I just would like to know if the math required in TBR gen chem is on par with math required for mcat. Thx.
