MCAT Hot Takes

Question 🤔🤔

What are your MCAT hot takes?

I'll start: C/P is significantly easier than B/B. C/P is mostly calculations and general period table stuff (ex: what's an alkaline earth metal, isotopes, etc). B/B is mostly interpreting figures and seeing relationships (what happens to Y if we remove/add X)

B/B discretes are easier than P/S. P/S requires knowledge of many terms and I notice AAMC likes to throw in random terms sometimes (I'm looking at you dichotic listening task, shadowing, conflict of interest). I think with B/B you either know it or you don't, but with P/S you can reason through it with POE. P/S also loves their graphs whereas B/B discretes tend to be punnett squares or physiology.
