    My MCAT is the day after tomorrow and I could not be more grateful to you. These videos are not only helpful for review, but your videos addressing how to tackle problems make me feel more comfortable going into these dense passages and questions. Thank you thank you!!

    I always had trouble keeping everything straight so I found understanding why things make sense really helped me. Glad it is helping you too!

    This video is amazing. I watched a couple videos before this one for "simple tricks" remembering the two categories only for them to either pull out no such tricks or obscure anologies like hands on a clock

    What is the analogy of hands on a clock? That is very interesting and I have never heard of it before.

    Hey thanks so much for these videos. This is making these questions a lot easier for me, which I especially need since the Chem, biochem and physics sections are the hardest for me.

    Is it necessary or helpful to memorize the structures for the MCAT?

  • @EightfoldMCAT

    @EightfoldMCAT

    Yes, although recognition rather than ability to draw them out is more important. I can think of at least two questions on the AAMC practice exams that require this knowledge.
