topics you hate on the mcat

[swamprat]

figured I'd just see what everyone hates that's currently studying for the mcat. Topics I really hate:

Physics:
1. waves in pipes/strings (sometimes) and doppler effect.
2. bouyant force
3. sometimes electrostatics
4. edit: forgot to add anything with density/specific gravity. could fall under bouyant force i guess.

Gen Chem:
- nothing really

Organic:
- nothing really

Bio:
1. reproduction/embryology

Verbal:
1. Everything about it, but I guess passages that involve talking about critiqueing other authors/works of literature.

[Ibn Rushd]

Hooke's law spring problems.

 

[RySerr21]

Topics I hate:

Physics, OChem, GenChem, Verbal Reasoning.

 

[scaredoflife]

Electromagnetic stuff, Physics!!!

 

[rama kandra]

I think all physical science questions where I have to solve a mathematical problem to get an answer! I would much rather have some kind of innate or gut feeling about an answer without having to solve math. Hence the biology and organic section ftw.

But if I had to pick sections of inorganic that suck: acid/base titration, redox reactions, equilibrium and rate kinetic things.

physics - really not a fan of classical mechanics with inclined planes and projectiles.

 

[EP123]

anything with that damn photoelectric effect which they pair with electrostatics or E&M

 

[Ibn Rushd]

Radioactive decay problems are gay.

 

[229141]

I hate physics 2 since I am not even done with it

 

[Ibn Rushd]

Verbal passages about economics and/or law.

 

[J ROD]

All of the above!

 

[JA Prufrock]

physical sciences...all of it.

but I'm sure the ability to calculate the terminal velocity of a patient as he falls off the table will be useful in my future.

 

[cbrons]

Topics I hate:

Physics, OChem, GenChem, Verbal Reasoning.

the only thing I like is the tutorial at the beginning, on how to answer the questions. I don't like any of the "for realizies" questions.

Embryology sucks but I question how in-depth they can go about the whole thing... the most complex I can see them going is seeing if you can differentiate between body systems that are formed by the ectoderm, mesoderm, etc. I might be wrong though

 

[kypreos]

physics, springs/pulleys, I hate it all.

 

[Yope]

Harmonics.

 

[175961]

Topics I hate:

Physics, OChem, GenChem, Verbal Reasoning.

nice, I was gonna post the exact same thing

 

[Zona Pellucida]

Basically all of the Physical Science section.

I don't mind Organic or Bio at all. I like writing opinion essays. I don't mind Verbal.

 

[MilkmanAl]

Optics sucks bigtime, and that's coming from a physics major.

 

[creativekat]

This thread is just asking for the MCAT writers to look through this thread and proceed to screw us all over.

In which case...I absolutely hate all questions that are basic arithmetic, like 2+2!

lol thats funny thats a very neurotic thing to say but I actually did think about that when i posted it, then i figured the test at least for jan is prob already made and set up

 

[Revilla]

Projectile motion and angular frequency. I can handle circuits, optics, and anything Physics II, but I just don't care how hard a monkey hit the ground when it was shot out of a tree.
