I see alot of people make this thread for their MCAT date. I was unable to find one for this date so I took the liberty to make one. Please share what you have found works or does not work for you?
I don't drink, but here's to everyone planning on getting intoxicated this weekend lol:

hey y'all,
I need your input in this question I posted in other thread:
"What happens if you release the MCAT score in mid July which unfortunately turned out quite low...but update on the application that you will be retaking. Would school reject you to send out the secondary, or give you another chance at it because you identified yourself as a potential retaker?"
I already applied and submitted to schools and I'm really not feeling confident at all right now. Considering voiding if I will be straight up rejected.
Thanks.
Hey guys, I'm scheduled for Thursday as well. Where are you guys taking your exams? I'm here in socal
Socal here as well, for 2 PM!

to review ADH,
inhibited ADH blocks H20 channels from forming in the collecting duct. Causes diluted urine, lowered blood pressure.

ADH concentrates urine (not dilutes) as a result of increased permeability to water in the collecting duct

No it doesn't. ADH dilutes urine. The increased permeability to water in the collecting duct allows water to flow back into the bloodstream, diluting the urine and increasing blood volume.

Not trying to be mean, but can you find me one legitimate source that says increased ADH results in dilute urine? I couldn't
ADH concentrates urine. Water does flow back into the bloodstream, but that water is coming from where it was previously (the urine). If the urine now has less water, it has a higher concentration of solutes relative to the volume (since volume decreased but solute concentration didn't).

lol wut? If you form aquaporin channels in the collecting duct and reabsorb water into your bloodstream, of course ADH would concentrate your urine...
blueshockey, i'm taking my test in missouri. Where are you taking yours?
I know, I know.....I'm stupid lol. I put the reasoning that would indicate concentrated urine and then said it would be dilute. haha

Future gunners? lolFuture Gunners....
lol..
It's all good...at least this is getting me to review my hormones, haha. From my previous testing there was absolutely no physiology on my exam, but I guess I can't ignore it this time either. :|

Done with all the AAMC Assessment Packages. I bought it so might as well use it. Will take AAMC 11 today. Who's taking it with me?
lol did no one notice the "inhibited" before ADH up thereFuture Gunners....
lol..
Woah. Woah. You won't goof up.
I know ADH concentrates urine. But alcohol blocks ADH, therefore, without the effect of ADH, the urine is diluted and the blood pressure is low.
Why is that wrong?

2pm as well. I'm taking it in Lake Forest, you?
And also, sorry for being a stalker but are you reapplying this cycle? What happened?
Taking AAMC 11 at 2 as well!
I've been having dreams about doing passages for the last few nights.... Ugh... I can't get a break from the MCAT ever
I'm in socal, too. Taking it in SD at 2 pm.
Good job to all of you who have been working at it! Today's been blah for me. Did some review in the morning then nothing at all. Gonna try to review some bio for the rest of the night (after Jeopardy 😛). We're so close, guys!
Edit: Ok, after How I Met Your Mother.

Me too! I wake up reciting formulas Lol Just wait until it's over when we start having dreams that we forgot about it and never took it lol
I'm so scared that i'm gonna forget all the formulas I know at the start of PS :-(
Assuming it's allowed (I don't know why it wouldn't be), use your 10 min tutorial to write down all the equations you know on your scratch sheet.I'm so scared that i'm gonna forget all the formulas I know at the start of PS :-(
are you taking it at SDSU?
Depending on testing center you could just do a memory dump on your scratch paper during the tutorial... Like just write down formulas you tend to forget... Last time I took the MCAT I'm pretty sure I was able to write during that 10 min section before the beginning of the test.

edit - ahh dnovikov said it before me.
Am I the only person taking at 8am??? No fair!
Great minds think alike 😉 And I heard somewhere that at some testing centers they don't let you write at all during the tutorial section. Luckily I'm testing at the same one I did last year so I'm pretty sure I can, woo![]()
are you sure though?
my exam is at 8:00 AM and I will prob be up by 6 so it would be nice if I can just go over the formula sheet before I leave the house and when I get to the testing center, I can write down all those I remember during the tutorial.......I don't wanna get in trouble for doing this though so is anyone else doing this?
