    Hello, I'm currently in my junior year of university, and I plan to take the MCAT this summer! My junior year ends this May, marking the start of summer break. However, I do want to start medical school right after I graduate. Does that mean I have to take the MCAT before the application cycle starts this year, or am I applying for the next cycle next year? I don't actually want to have to deal with a gap year.

    • @bremmethod
      @bremmethod 2 дні тому

      I recommend taking an average fo 3 minutes to read the passage and an average of 1 minute per question, which means about 8 minutes on average for each passage+questions. This of course will change depending on the length of passage and challenge level of the question, but all questions should be completable in under 20 minutes.

      Here's the link: students-residents.aamc.org/prepare-mcat-exam/practice-mcat-exam-official-low-cost-products. When you log in with your credentials, the "store" will allow you to purchase any of the products listed here. The AAMC released a second volume of the section bank this past fall! This is very exciting because these are high quality questions that I definitely recommend using.

    What do you think about taking the MCAT in May (15th or 23rd) if I plan on applying to MD programs? I also plan on submitting my applications at the very earliest. What do you recommend? Is taking the MCAT in May ideal?

    • @bremmethod
      @bremmethod 18 днів тому

      If you are very confident in your MCAT performance, then May is a perfectly good time. However, you won't receive your scores back for a month, so if you would like to see your scores before applying, I would suggest a March or April test day. One option that I've seen students do is apply to 1 school in AMCAS to get verified, then add more schools after receiving their score. I'll also say, I am NOT an admissions expert, so I would always defer to your academic advisor if you have one.

    Just a note for the alpha/beta designations: alpha is only down and beta is only up for D sugars, it is the opposite for L sugars. To remember this better I usually instead think the following: If carbon 6 is pointing the same way as the hydroxyl on the anomeric carbon, it's beta, if carbon 6 is pointing the opposite way to the anomeric hydroxyl, it's alpha

    • @bremmethod
