    MCAT AAMC BB Section Bank #20

    Hello, I don't understand why we would look at the initial velocity instead of vmax for competitive inhibition. Wouldn't it be simpler to look at the vmax and see if there is a difference? Please help.

    Got my arse kicked by Section Bank - A few questions

    Hello. I'm taking my MCAT in April and I have a bit of concern about the Section Bank. I went through the questions and got quite a few of them wrong. I find that they're very hard and complicated, mostly because they require extra levels of thinking - a standard of the new MCAT. I have a...

    How do I tackle the passage-based questions?

    Hi everyone, My MCAT is in about a month & I am not doing well in the passage-based questions. It's not about the content anymore, since I believe I am good at it; because I can answer the independent questions very well, but I can't seem to do well on the questions which infers to the passage...

    very confused with SB performance

    I took the NS FL and got 503 never got higher than 127 on B/B or C/P on both FL 1 and FL 3. I then took a try and did the section bank for both B/B and C/P and did them completely untimed. you could say I got at least 85% in B/B (I say at least cuz I didn't keep track of the ones i got wrong bc...

    AAMC Section Bank vs. FL1

    I'm currently one month out from my MCAT date, have taken 4 NS practice exams, and was planning on taking 2 more practice exams. Would you recommend taking FL first, then section bank in two weeks, or section bank first and FL as my last thing before the real test? Or should I skip section bank...

    AAMC Resources

    for the section bank, OG, and CARS volume. I read that you shouldn't fly through them fast because they are very representative of the MCAT and that you should do a few passages a day, for example. but how do you break them up if you don't get to see the answers/how you performed until you...

    Where are the good question banks?

    Hey y'all. I'm trying to do as many questions for my MCAT prep as I can. I've bought the AAMC Section Bank but that's only 300 questions. Can anyone vouch for other question banks? I know UWorld has one but I've heard they're better for Step exams and not the MCAT. I see that NextStep also has...

    SOS Section Bank vs Memorizing Content??

    Okay this probably sounds horrible but pls give your homeboy a chance. My MCAT is in 2 days. As in, in 48 hours I will be done. This probably sounds crazy but I actually have next to nothing memorized. I was going to dedicate today and tomorrow to memorizing everything I need to know (by which I...

    Hi all, I am confused with the question when the question said "NOT" and they minus -3.4 eV from total Energy. Can someone help me with this question as to why they minus -3.4 eV ? I got 20.5 eV and go with B. AND what does that NOT in the question even mean lol. I am confused with the wording also.

    B/B section bank #46, tissue type clarification

    So this question was basically asking for me to identify the tissue types for ovarian cells and osteoclasts. I knew osteoclasts are bone cells so they're connective tissue, but I didn't know that ovarian cells were epithelial tissue. All I remember about epithelial tissue is that they consist of...

    Question pack suspiciously easy compared to section bank...

    Hi all, I'm in my last month of studying for the April 28th exam, and I've been alternating between the section bank and the 120 question packs, and I've noticed something I'm sure all of you have: the section banks are much harder. Not only that, but does anyone else feel like the question...

    #17 Biochem Section Bank

    Hello! This question confused me and my friends. So I know that palindromic sequences are the sequences that are the same on both strands when read from the 5' -> 3' direction. But what I'm confused on is whether or not there is a way to answer questions like these without having to memorize...

    Hey everyone. I've taken a bunch of practice MCATs since this past January, and I'm taking the test on Thursday. I'm stressing about what the real thing is like, because if what people say is true about the real test being way harder than the section banks, I'm screwed. Here's what I've got...

    Study plan feedback?

    Hi! So I'm taking the MCAT in May and I'm trying to figure out the best practice study plan now that I've finally finished content review (which I admit, I didn't put a whole lot of effort into due to being busy with school and ECs). I have 8 FLs (3 TPR, 3 Kaplan, 2 AAMC). Finals end on May...
