Lol, I thought this might be a fun way for others currently preparing for the MCAT to vent their frustrations.

Right now I'm studying Physics Electricity and Magnetism ...and I feel like I just ran into a wall.

ok yeah my table is full of notes and every so often I glance at the clock on my computer and its like the hours just keep creeping by not to mention outside of my house my neighbor insists on doing the yard with the lawnmower going:annoyed: Would go to the library but library hours have been shortened due to budget cuts:wtf: in my area oh well. And I need hours!

Other than that I think its time for a study break whos with me...I can only sit for a hour or two and then I feel like my butt gets numb:laugh:

Haha. Amen on that, except my breaks are gradually converting to procrastination. I easily fall for distractions. Damn you StudentDoctor!

....I hate MCAT so much I want to cry myself to death... =(

How could you shoot my heart down like that with AAMC9...Man, AAMC9 carved a 4 on my heart, wasn't even nice enough to shoot it and spare it from the pain and suffering.

Every time I get pumped about mcat studying... I suddenly get EXTREMELY HUNGRY or Drowsy... Is it not meant to be? :spam:

I stopped by Walmart the other day and bought a bunch of Lean Cusine meals since I don't have much time to make anything else ...or maybe I'm just lazy. But hey, the foods not bad and I got it on sale too lol. By the way, coffee works wonders my friend. It keeps me alert while studying. 3 cups can last a whole day ..I'm a caffine addict. My antidiuretic hormones are begging to be relased (bio joke, hehe ...caffine/alcohol inhibit the release of adh). My jokes are lame, I know.

i feel like i'm trying to outrun something...

Batman-Bomb.gif

on one hand, getting shot OUT OF THE SADDLE every time i do an innocent little 8problem set makes me realize how important studying ahead is, but on the other hand... my poor ego... i mean there's being rusty and then there's being a *****.

-had a good surprise though once when i checked answers and got 8/8 wrong, i was about to throw the book off the building! oh, wait, looked in the wrong place to check answers 🙂 still my stress levels need to even out (and preferable lower then avg now)!

Lol, on terrible passages I used to do that too. If I got 2/7 right or something then I would look if I checked the right answers but unfortunately for me I looked in the right spot, I just bombed the passages.

Hope this helps,

OK every MCAT club I have read in this forum and the general consenses after everyone takes the test is that it is harder than they expected. OK, reason, critical thinking, AWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHH😱 I need a break we will resume studying tomorrow....goodnight SDN!

Will be dreaming in my sleep:

Know the concepts, think, the answer is b.😴

Guys, no matter how hard it is or how crappy doing practices and review make you feel... you need to be like a robot or a kung fu master and feel no pain. You know those times where you are in front of your CBT or review notes and feel like can't go on? Sock yourself in the face and keep reading! Just know that you'll do better! It's supposed to be hard and it's supposed to be unpleasant but if you force yourself to walk barefoot on the MCAT coals, you'll learn to love it. The only way through the MCAT is through brute force. Learn to love the MCAT. Learn to love smashing it into itty bitty peaces. Go to your starbucks with your MCAT material with the determination to stare it down until the material cowers in fear of your knowledge. You will do better if you just force yourself to sit on that chair and read and read and read. It's inevitable!

Kung Fu master!! I like this a lot! lol! Helped me and gave me some motivation! Today, I felt that I can't take it anymore. I started to do some passages but couldn't focus. TOMORO IS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY THO! 🙂
Thanks !

Yeah, focus is one of those things that definitely just requires practice. My first full length, I was taking breaks after each passage because my mind was just not in the right place and I just couldn't sit still for the life of me. Just keep forcing yourself on those passages and soon it'll be no big deal taking a full CBT for 5 hours. Your mind will complain and start to doubt you, but just focus on the passage and you'll whip it into shape.

LOL. this is the goal, yes. if i let the reaction to getting over half of the problems wrong in a set get to me the way it could (Yep LIS I'm all over missing loads of problems too!!), there would be a pity party for every passage that went on for 3x as long as it took to do the work and check my errors. nobody has that kinda time.

bring it, mcat.
