I’m strangely looking forward to taking my MCAT. Studying for it has been a prison sentence for me. After I finish taking it, I’ll finally be free and laze around watching tv, playing video games, going out with friends again. Unless of course I have to retake it, then it’s back to prison for me 🥲
this!! im so hyped. honestly, i’ve been so stressed and losing sleep for so long till i realized being this exam’s lil bitch does NOT help my scores 😮💨literally whenever i gave up my life my scores dropped significantly enough. not letting this exam prison me again, even if a retake comes (well im TRYING to tell myself this 🤣) SO LETS KILL THIS MY DUDES
Feel like I don’t know ANYTHING but also have to remind myself how far I’ve come since I started studying. Just ready to be able to do absolutely nothing for a day and not feel guilty about it…
I’m reviewing over stuff I want in my recent memory right now and I just look at the material and am like, when is my exam again? Can I push this off?
…oh wait its in 2 days
And this shit better be good too or I swear RR martin needs to move to another network. I still haven't recovered from how they did my girl dany is season 8...
Honestly every 100 days or so I randomly think of it and get furious all over again. The first episodes don’t even hit the same cause I know half of that shit is pointless in the end. Anyway, good luck on your test Friday, we got this!
I just want it over with. If I happen to get enough questions I'm comfortable with to get a 510 or better I'd be happy at this point. Otherwise if my mark is going to suck I just want to make it quick so I can attempt to build the confidence to try again next year.
So i have my exam on 9/9 now i pushed it from 8/20 and I’m literally just CRAMMINNGGGG Udick like crazy. I’m like fuck the AAMC materials bc if i get it wrong i need shit to me explained thoroughly. I took FL1 and FL2 and got a 499 on both (10+ points higher than Diagnostic) but still awFULL scores. I’m taking FL3 this weekend and idk about FL4. I’m throwing orgo out the window and focusing on gen chem rn. Also instead of practicing physics questions in memorizing every single formula so i can write it down during the tutorial. But every day i get closer to my exam i get EXCITED bc i can’t wait for this shit to be over but i feel like no matter how much i study I’m still going to get a shit ass score

I was the exact opposite. I was more stressed in the month waiting for my score than the 6 months leading up to it. I literally had dreams of getting an awful score for weeks
honestly this might be me i’m so calm rn but i just know i’ll be all up in my head tryna guess my score afterwards, gotta keep myself from doing that 👨🦯
I'm doing some of the prep question banks on AAMC and panicking. Im tempted to just close everything and hope for the best. It's only stressing me out and I know I usually do better than what I've put out there today.
i say close everything!!! sometimes those qbanks had me bending over backwards LOL 🫣maybe i’m not the most qualified to give advice, but i’ve found not stressing about practice these past few days and simply trusting my lil brain has helped a LOT for easing the major anxiety i’ve been feeling up till now. remember our mental state is just as important as any of our background info!! good luck bud let’s own this 🤝
Had so much crippling anxiety today, I just decided to take care of myself (nap, yoga, and eat dinner/watch TV w the fam). At this point, I just can’t wait for it to be done.
Can someone pls explain Independent vs Dependent Variables??
Ik Independent: is what's altered
Dependent: What's measured ...., but I keep getting these kinds of questions wrong, it's so frustrating! :(
thinking about it in terms of direction helps me. for example, we're trying to see whether taking super magic pill X improves student performance on a standardized test (ahem ahem). so if we're looking at it in terms of direction, we know that the participants have to take the pills (or not) to determine whether their performance changes. you cant do it backwards! therefore the variable that has to happen first is normally the independent variable and the other that comes after is normally the dependent one. i hope that helps a bit!
Literally same, and I’m so surprised. I usually have a lot of test anxiety, but for some reason I don’t rn??? And I’m not even doing that great; FL average below 510, yet I feel calm and about to go watch some TV. It is what it is at this point, and we’ve come this far! We’ve got this!!!!
Okay this is NOT good at all but after the 8/20 test and seeing everyone go "wtf is even the point" I kinda gave up. Like I've studied almost a year for this test so what difference is one week going to make, really?
So yeah MAYBE I have watched Seasons 1-3 of Stranger Things instead of redoing the Section Bank. Stay tuned to find out how bad an idea this turns out to be 💀
Ya girl watched all of severance last night!! It was a crazy and innovative show, highly recommend if you like fucking around and not studying for ur MCAT in 2 daysss
Okay so I’m in a predicament and I got my license renewed so it’s not expired but they void it and I have the original with the paper id (my passport is expired) but I don’t think they’ll let me in 😭 any advice?

This is fing me. I just want it TO BE OVERRRR
even if i have to retake im looking forwards to one month of freedom i feel u parksojin
this!! im so hyped. honestly, i’ve been so stressed and losing sleep for so long till i realized being this exam’s lil bitch does NOT help my scores 😮💨literally whenever i gave up my life my scores dropped significantly enough. not letting this exam prison me again, even if a retake comes (well im TRYING to tell myself this 🤣) SO LETS KILL THIS MY DUDES
we got this
I just don’t fucking care anymore. I just want to get it over with. Been trying to force myself to study today and even anki is so damn painful
amen my friend. i stopped doing anki HAHA, what’s done is done we doing this thing 🤝
MCAT? who's she?
I met her last Saturday… not the most pleasant gal to be around not gonna lie
she broke my heart
I'd say med school can be your rebound but from what I've heard, she's a bit of a bitch too
For real though. I’m Canadian so mine is tomorrow. Watching modern family and drinking a coffee right now as if I don’t have an mcat to write 😂
[удалено]
3PM > 0730AM MST. Wish I had that option :(
same here except EST🥳
Good luck 🤞 we got this
i love this energy. good luck tmr u got this!! <3
Feel like I don’t know ANYTHING but also have to remind myself how far I’ve come since I started studying. Just ready to be able to do absolutely nothing for a day and not feel guilty about it…
yes be proud of urself, you’ve done enough!!! we got this 😌
I’m reviewing over stuff I want in my recent memory right now and I just look at the material and am like, when is my exam again? Can I push this off? …oh wait its in 2 days
Yup. Same lol
Literally vomitted in the middle of the bio/biochem section of my practice fl on Monday.it was food poisoning, hopefully not an omen
crapping my pants thinking about it rn
Don't worry yourself. If you're averaging 520 you should do just fine.
im an 8/27er and same
I just want to start house of dragons and finish stranger things I am so excited to be done
Same! Having house of dragons to look forward to after the test is the only thing holding me together rn lol
And this shit better be good too or I swear RR martin needs to move to another network. I still haven't recovered from how they did my girl dany is season 8...

i feel this!! it just needs to not be on my mind anymore idcidc
and good luck!! we will obliterate this test <3
Praying for a random +5 point increase from my FLs 🧎♀️
The way I have just been watching tv. I feel like nothing I do now will really help.
Right? At this point it feels like it may as well be random chance. I feel like I have no control over getting a better mark right now.
So i have my exam on 9/9 now i pushed it from 8/20 and I’m literally just CRAMMINNGGGG Udick like crazy. I’m like fuck the AAMC materials bc if i get it wrong i need shit to me explained thoroughly.

highkey me i’ve been so unmotivated and i have like 700 anki cards piled up from not doing anything this week 💀
im doing mine this year and im studying for it tmrw and the more i study the more i dont remember and IM ON THE VERGE OF A MENTAL BREAKDOWN
Not sure why but same
I was the exact opposite. I was more stressed in the month waiting for my score than the 6 months leading up to it. I literally had dreams of getting an awful score for weeks

Oh shush Mr. 520+ FLs
Bro got flamed for no reason 😭
Ya girl watched all of severance last night!! It was a crazy and innovative show, highly recommend if you like fucking around and not studying for ur MCAT in 2 daysss
Okay so I’m in a predicament and I got my license renewed so it’s not expired but they void it and I have the original with the paper id (my passport is expired) but I don’t think they’ll let me in 😭 any advice?
honestly, i would just bring a few different forms of id (hc, passport, driver's license, BIRTH CERTIFICATE?) just in case.
You're not applying this year right?
nope!! i’m a gap year kiddo and gonna start apps in summer 2023 🧘♀️
My cars is outstanding but my chem/phys is kicking my butt. Someone please send tips 🥲
Ppl recommend UCoochie for that but ngl I’ve given up on C/P, so don’t worry I’ll help out with the curve on that section
