The Official June 2015 MCAT Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
what am I allowed to say without violating guidelines?

https://www.aamc.org/students/applying/mcat/security/422452/guidelines-discussion.html

Taken from their website:

You may NOT:
  • Share or post the text (full or partial) of a test question and/or a test answer.
  • Reconstruct a list of topics tested in a particular section.
  • Mention a specific topic that was tested on an exam.
  • Outline the steps or process to answer a question.
  • Speculate about which passages are field test or experimental items.
 
LOL! But it wouldn't matter because we are going to get a different test than the June 19 one right?
Yes. Our exam is different. Unless the AAMC has scared us all into not sharing details in order to give the same exams. One could only dream.

However, it seems like you can say "Oh, it was Biochem heavy, as expected and others have said" or "X, Y, Z test prep was useless/ful for it." You cannot say "Man, one of the passages tested _______.... you should definitely know it" or state any specifics about the exam itself. Honestly, since our exams are different, the only thing that really matters is if it was similar to AAMC or other test prep. Not sure how else we could benefit at this point.
 
Just finished a bit ago. A lot of terms in psych I wasn't familiar with. No idea how I did on cars, and ps was difficult.


I think I did well on bio.

I scored it.. pressing the score button caused so much anxiety haha

CP: Physics was heavier than I expected. Overall not bad.
CARS: Similar in difficulty to AAMC FL
Bio: Super easy. I killed it for sure. (Note: It was still hard, but they happened to ask me the things I knew)
Psych: Lol ouch

I guess my opinion of the test is the opposite of the general consensus.
CP: WTFFFFF :boom::wtf:
CARS: Pretty easy, nothing too outlandish
Bio: Kinda in-between, not that hard but not that easy
Psych: Pretty straightfoward. Very similar to TPR practice.

And I noticed a couple questions that were eerily similar to some questions I did using Kaplan 😵

I feel the exact same as you...especially the wtf for CP. I had to take a second and not freak out from CP.
 
There were clearly 2 different exams administered today. Probably going to be the same for tomorrow. We'll either get an Orgo heavy or BC heavy PS section. No way to tell.
 
I know people can't be specific, but for orgo are we talking reactions and reagents? Like turning alcohol to carboxylic acid or adding to a benzene ring?
