Guys,
I just finished reading the EK Chem book... and I feel like I got absolutely nothing out of it. I barely remember anything that I read (and I took a month to read it, 4+ hr/day).
On the idea of brain-sideness: I'm above average with understanding of tangible things like history, biology, English, Psych, Soc, etc - but I can't do math beyond a 6th grade level. I'm serious. I have never understood how you approach subjects like math, physics or chem. Did ok in them in college (A/B) solely by brute force and memorization, which doesn't translate to the MCAT.
How do you learn this stuff edit: for the MCAT? Like, describe how you learn it. Where is the Eureka moment of 'wow, this makes sense to me'? Do you do practice problems? Flashcards? Reading?
Thank you for any advice that you can offer.
