Medical school, anyone?

I took the MCAT this morning. Now, I recognize that I'm a little bit of a freak but that was a pretty awesome test.

First of all, since its computerized, you get to work at your own pace. Jackpot!!! Instead of taking nearly 6 hours---SIX HOURS-- I got done in just about three. Much better. Also, I got sooooooo lucky. I, of course, did not study or do any sort of prep class crap beforehand, save a last minute panic and cramming of optics and wave equations. Luckily, those weren't on there and all of my physics was free-fall motion or electricity. Easy. The biological sciences, however, were AMAZING! One passage about p53 and chemo sensitivity, score! Another about Canavan's disease and Mendelian genetics, easiness! The next as well as two stand-alone questions about the pancreas and pancreatitis, oh yes! And finally, the last passage about interpreting pulmonary function tests, are you kidding me?! Those pretty much replay my entire biological learning experience. Then there was one O-chem question about a tertiary alcohol and sulfuric acid... what mechanism might that undergo?... E1, thank you very much, O-chem tutoring.

Easiest freaking standardized test I've ever taken. Now hopefully that translates into good scores. I would say best standardized test scores I've ever gotten, but, well, that'd be a tough tier to hit, so I'll settle with just really good. Only 29 days until I know my score!
