I took my MCAT yesterday. The physical sciences section was a bit more difficult than the 20 or so practice tests I had taken, and I'm 99% sure there was an error in the biological sciences portion that made me puzzle over a couple questions for longer than I should have.

Hey, guys. I've never posted in this community before, and I'm not actually in medical school, but I hope to be one day, and I thought that it would be a good idea to do a little bit of research before I got there ( Read more... )
