Medical School Preparation: Day 5

10 minutes on the MCAT got me 8/13 questions right, which is a terrible 61%. From the topic essay, I didn't interpret Confucious as favorably as the answers seemed to want me to. I'll have to pay more attention to what the writer thinks as opposed to what I think.

Those 13 questions ended the multiple choice section and launched me into the essay questions. I didn't think the online practice MCAT would have those. They don't grade the essays, but they let you save them in your profile. It looks like you can read actual essays from when that particular questions was really asked.

I'll do the essay questions another night!

This past week I learned that Wolfram Alpha has a use. Specifically, it's like a super charged periodic table. I can search for things like ammonium sulfate and get everything there is to know about the compound. It's perfect for helping me to learn and memorize what the composition and electrical charge is for ions like perchlorate, and it rocks for converting units.
