phantom Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hey, I would know both Kirchoff's rules, they seem pretty helpful and are not that hard! just current into junction = current out and sum of potential increases = potential dropsEntourage eh? NICE! I am quite behind and I can't wait till I'm done and I can catch up on that. I meant I did the EK 101 passages thing, so I might actually hav emy work cut of for me..but i have to ask: when people talk about EK, is it the 101 passages or the mini tests? and if they are the mini tests are they the ones in the mathematical and verbal strategy booklet? how does 101 passages compare to AAMC? ya im figuring that I will do that, I've went over it but not that much into detail, probably a good idea i will do that tonight! I am late for work ! I have been setting aside entourage time each week haha. When people talk about EK its more probable they are taking about the 101 passage. The mini tests would be from the EK 16 Mini Mcat book. I would say that the 101 passages may be a bit easier than the AAMC but does anyone else find that in every 101 passage they have atleast one passage devoted to wood joining or american judges haha, good luck. while writing i forgot im late for work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 well on the way to work i decided to read more in depth about the kirchoff rules from the study guide from my physics textbook along with the examples about it.... at first I thought the sign conventions would be tricky but seems to be just more memory work such as if a seat of emf travels in the direction of the emf (from - to +) the potential increases by E , and the potential decreases when the resitor travels in the direction of the current and so on and so on... well thats in the bag now what does everyone think about the carnot engine? i think I am totally just procrastinating for myself and saying hmmm I don't really want to go into great detail on those subjects....

The Law Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 thanks, good luck to you too!i'm almost done EK's mini-mcat VR's and they're really hard...i'm getting around 4-5 out of 7-8 on each psg. sighhh VR is so unpredictable...i'm hoping for a miracle.

Guest begaster Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'm about done going through the material for a second run-through. Did a PR test today and got killed (10/8/9). Not sure what just happened, but it's totally shot the confidence that AAMC 9 gave me (10/12/11), and I wrote that over a month ago. Blah. Completely lost track of time on the physics section and panicked in the last ten minutes. As for the VR, which I have gotten 11 in twice in a row, I don't know what happened. Maybe the lack of practice in it for the last three weeks or so hit me. Going to start practicing more passages again. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avenir001 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 i find that as far as verbal reasoning goes, EK mini-mcats > EK 101 > aamc in difficulty...that being said, i suck at all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eng_dude786 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 hey guys: avenir001, Orchid, The Law, and bane I haven't had the chance to prepare or look at anything of Organic Chemistry. I've been told that there's not a lot of it on the MCAT. What's your advice regarding orgo? Would I be fine if I didn't touch it?

Much thanks eng_dude786 I had just taken orgo when I wrote in August, and I was pretty good at it so I didn't really study. The bio section on Aug 9, I personally found to be a bit more challening, but overall I don't think the orgo was that hard, plus there was hardly any of it on the test in the first place. I'd say at most there were 15 questions. It depends on how good you think you are at orgo, how comfortable are you with the basic concepts? If you're pretty good, then you should be fine IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avenir001 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 last summer i would've told ppl not to worry too much about orgo, but now that there are fewer passages, it's more risky to ignore orgo...i think august 25ths had very little orgo...but i read that another administration before that had 3/7 orgo psgs if i remember correctly...so if orgo is not fresh in ur mind, prolly a good idea to brush up on things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I know, it is the least efficient use of your time since orgo's significance on the mcat: content ratio is lowest of all the subjects. It is still worth looking at One more thing guys, AAMC PS is giving me a significantly higher score (2 points than Kaplan's full lengths. Given that people are saying PS is harder than AAM (7-9) C, is it a good idea to put aside aamc ps and do Kaplan's? Should i just be content with the PS score or should i push my comfort zones? advice anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest begaster Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 ^ Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm absolutely acing the online AAMC practice tests (just got 37 on #8), but the Princeton Review ones still kick my ass. I don't know how worried I should be and really wish I did!

Hey I talked to my friend who's a kap instr. this year and he said to stick with aamc if the other tests are discouraging you. They are good to learn from, but AAMC is supposedly more reflective of your score, especially the old ones. Yes the real thing may be harder, because its harder for everyone, not just you and they end up coming out with similar scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
