Well, yes readers, I have been derelicte!! I am not, however, the garbage clad spokesman for Jacobim Mugatu's newest line of haute couture clothing. Perhaps more accurately, I have been derelict, minus the e. Since our last broadcast, I have taken the MCAT, a genetics exam, a micro practical exam, and an orgo exam. Those all went ok (the jury is still out on micro and genetics.) SO, what you're all waiting for: How was the MCAT?
MCAT= grueling sufferfest. It was 8 hours long and by the end my brain was fried. As you pre-meds out there know, the MCAT begins with physical sciences. I was a nervous wreck. I had to pee during the exam which probably cost me a few precious seconds. The form I had was seemingly all physics, almost no gen chem. great. just great. After that chore was done, it was verbal reasoning. AH HAH! My strong point! I think it went pretty well, since I can read fast and critically. I made sure to read all the liberal arts passages first since those are my strong suite. I finished with about 10 minutes to spare.
*lunch* ate lunch with brad and Kyle. We discussed the demerits of the all-physics-all-the-time Physical sciences.
After lunch was the writing section with two ridiculous prompts. I don't think I've written so poorly since I was in high school. Oh well. Then bio. I think bio went pretty well, at least I felt ok about it. My own feelings regarding how I think I did are not indicative of real achievement, as I have learned through practice tests.
Overall impression: physical sciences was not as good as I would have liked. My only comfort is that a lot of other people probably found it difficult. BS and VR are big question marks. Writing, doesn't really matter, if the conventional wisdom of pre-meds is to be believed.
