Trends in MCAT

[medtech]

Hey i was wondering what kind of trends are there in the recent mcat for the physical science sections, is it more concepts and experimental and how heavy is it on the calculations. Include all topics, and share your thoughts

it's a lot of luck, more concepts/experiments, throw in the usual calculations, and add crap they pull from thin air and you have the "new" mcat

Good explanation!!

probably wrong place to ask this but....

i just took tpr 8 and 9 ..... the new ones, and... i scored a 21. and it's been a while since i've done that poorly.

i found the passages extremely long and pretty much ran out of time in physics. is anyone actually scoring decent on the new tpr???

tpr are notoriously difficult, asking very "nit-picking" questions. before i took my MCATs, my strategy was that if i can break a 30 on tpr, i could do well on the real thing. i practiced tpr until I broke a 30, and then took an AAMC before the exam. worked like a charm.

Haha, I love it as well.
