Awesome! Thank you so much. :) If you know any other friends that would benefit, PLEASE let them know! We want to help as many students as possible. :)
Excellent vocabulary and great explanation... very few have the grace to help others. As most of the applications or students look for material which is difficult to cover all of it.
Hi Vikram, Anthony here again. First off, thanks so much for the high quality video--it felt VERY reassuring. :) That said, another question recently popped into mind. What's your best approach when you encounter the dreaded 50/50 situation? Because when I hover between two equally tempting answers, 8/10 times I choose the wrong one. I believe that affects majority of test takers as well. What is the psychology behind this??? As always, thanks for your time and keep up the awesome videos! (I also managed to fight for an MCAT spot on 6/20--five weeks left)
Of course-I'm happy to hear you liked it! This really will depend on the section of the exam you are taking. In C/P, B/B, or P/S, you should make a note of every time this occurs on practice tests and try to determine if it is a strategy issue or a content issue. This 50/50 situation occurs a LOT in CARS, so I'll address that in more detail. The biggest mistake students often make is their answer choice is not actually supported by the passage. So, when you come to a 50/50 situation in CARS, try doing two things: 1. Underline the direct piece of text evidence that supports both answers. Usually, you'll find that the text only supports one answer choice. If you find that you can identify a piece of text evidence for both, which one does the text support strongly? 2. Reread the question stem. This may sound silly, but a lot of times we get so caught up in reading the answer choices and looking back at the passage that we forget exactly what the question was asking in the first place. Best of luck on your studying!! :)
My GOD! Keep that up and PLEASE keep us posted on your score. :) We'd love to celebrate with you! Vikram, our MCAT expert, has decided he's going to get you Chipotle as a gift for your accomplishments...
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any help you can give me
wait im confused, shouldnt the answer be 50 watts? since its a force x velocity graoh teh area underneath teh curve should represent power, and since its a triangle we should use 1/2 x base x height and we should get 10 x 10 x 0.5 = 50 ? please correct me if im wrong
9:20 [power= Workdone/time ] Workdone = force × displacement / time Velocity = displacement/ time Hence - power = force×velocity Power = 10N ×10 m/s = 100 Watts It could have been this simple
Thank you so much man! I know 528 is a long shot, but that’s what I want to work for and your vids provide a disadvantaged student like me with that possibility!
Hey man! Thanks for checking in and leaving your kind words; it means A LOT. That's why we do it. :) Shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you'll land among the stars..
Since all four sections are weighed equally, Chem/Phys, CARS, Bio/Biochem, and Psych/Soc are all equally high yield! Subject-wise, however, biochem is the most high-yield subject.
Shemmassian Academic Consulting Yes I understand that, but I was actually trying to ask which subject has the most questions. Like you said, physics is 5-10 questions out of a total of 230-ish questions on the mcat. Going by this, which subjects will have the most questions show up, and which will be second most, third most and so on? Could you possibly make a video about this?
@@bape7824 Got it-sorry for the misunderstanding! Biochemistry, psychology, and sociology will show up the most, followed by general chemistry, physics, and organic chemistry. Physics and organic chemistry will have the fewest questions on the exam. We'll keep that suggestion in mind for future videos :)
Quick question regarding "How much work is done when a protein is extended by 5 nanometers using 50 pico Newtons of Force?" since they say extended, shouldn't we assume it's similar to a spring and use F=Kx then use E=(1/2)(K)(x^2)? Why was W=F.d used? Does extended just mean moved in this context, and if so how would we know that? Is it just common knowledge?
Hi! Thanks for your videos- so helpful! So I keep running out of time on third party chem/phys sections. I'm not sure how similar they are to AAMC chem/phys, but based on AAMC material, do you recommend actually reading the passages for chem/phys? On third party chem/phys at least I've found that a good number of questions can probably be answered without reading the passage in depth...
Hi Emma! Happy to hear that you're enjoying the videos. It depends on the third party exam, but the main point is that you're learning from any mistakes you're making. In general, AAMC exams are going to lean a little more on the passages and have less questions that require JUST outside knowledge. The AAMC exams will give you a good idea of the balance you should look to strike!
I have a weak background in physics and did not do to well in my physics classes. By that, I mean I got A- on my physics courses BUT this was only due to the professor being easy and basically giving us a pretty easy exam in which we had to memorize the questions. therefore, I did not learn anything from the class. Would you suggest still reading a Kaplan book or khan academy to get better at physics? Or rather, would it be better to just straight up memorize the formulas and solve la bunch to problems?
