This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

One of my med-school classmates conceptualized these types of tests as such: it's like playing Madden on PlayStation. You might be a good football player. You might be really good at Mario Brothers. You might be Belichek. Hopefully, you have proficiency at a whole bag of skills. But the only way to be an expert at Madden is to sit down and play it.
That dude did a metric shitton of questions. Get access to questions and real practice tests. The classroom work is nice, but it the kid can hack it in med-school, he won't need MCAT concepts spoon-fed to him. He will, in all likelihood, need to get in reps.
