Like other practice tests, The Princeton Review (TPR) practice tests are often reported as being harder than the real MCAT. Many test takers found that the Critical Analysis and Reasoning section (CARS) was very different compared to what they saw on the MCAT.Apr 9, 2021
TPR or Test Positivity Rate is a proportion of the total number of positive COVID-19 results among the total number of tests done in a day. It is often used by health authorities as a metric to gauge the extent of infections in a community.Jul 10, 2021
TPR can get really expensive, but it can be very much worth it for students trying to reach a score of 510+ on the MCAT.Jan 24, 2021

The primary difference between the Kaplan and Princeton Review MCAT offerings revolves around instruction. Kaplan provides better quality on demand, video-based instruction, while we tend to like the quantity and approach of Princeton's live classes better.
To get an excellent MCAT score means to score in the overall 90th percentile, which currently means a score of 515 or greater. Anything above the score of 517 is considered as outstanding. With that kind of score, it will be difficult for med schools to reject your application!Mar 14, 2022
88% percentileAttaining a score of 512 on the MCAT means you performed in the 88% percentile. An even distribution for the section scores is preferred.
COVID-19 transmission occurs early in the course of illness — generally 1-2 days before the onset of symptoms — and 2-3 days after.
PCR tests are the most accurate COVID-19 test, but results may take 2-3 days. If you do not have 2-3 days, you can take a rapid test before the event. It’s best to take the rapid test hours before the gathering.
Vaccinated people: The CDC recommends that people who are fully vaccinated get tested 5-7 days after their last exposure.
If your friend tested negative but had symptoms, there’s a chance the results are false — especially if they took a rapid test. If they took a PCR test and received negative results, you’re likely in the clear.
Vaccinated: The CDC does not explicitly recommend vaccinated people get tested when they return from traveling. If you want to get tested when you get back, wait 3-5 days and get a PCR or antigen test.
First, check to see which types of tests the event allows and how soon they need them. Requirements may also differ for vaccinated and unvaccinated people. If you can take a rapid or PCR test, do what works best for your schedule. A rapid test will have faster results but will be less accurate. PCR tests take up to 2-3 days to process results.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms, you should immediately isolate and schedule a test within 3-5 days of developing symptoms. Though you can take a rapid test, you’ll get the most accurate results with a PCR.
I transcribed my college's entire curriculums for Introduction to Biology, Introduction to Psychology, Chemistry (+ some Organic), and Microbiology into these Quizlets for your convenience.
I owe a thank you to this subreddit. I'm done with this test; this will be my last post. I dreamt of the day I'd be able to post this. I'll try to keep this short.
The #1 social media platform for MCAT advice. The MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) is offered by the AAMC and is a required exam for admission to medical schools in the USA and Canada. /r/MCAT is a place for MCAT practice, questions, discussion, advice, social networking, news, study tips and more.
Trigger Warning I've spent time on this subreddit just browsing and not commenting. The following are a bunch of thoughts related the MCAT, Premed, myths, as well offering some perspective to a community that seems to isolate itself in a bubble (though this exists everywhere). For background, I've applied twice and was admitted both times.
From the resource recommendations to the AAMC FL explanations, this subreddit has given me so much. THANK YOU GUYS. Feel free to DM me any retake concerns. I'll make a guide soon!
I know I'm not the only one that's gonna be thinking about it all day. Good luck everyone!!!!
I had a lot of real-life stressors get in the way of allowing me to set aside any time to study for the MCAT and was freaking out when I scored a 505 diagnostic on 12/20.
I am trying really hard not to let imposter syndrome kick in too bad. However, I am still really really proud of myself.
