Chapter 5 and 6 have no practice passages. Chapter 5 felt like a written class lecture, but honestly the strategy to approach CARS is like reverse-engineering. Instead of brainstorming and writing, it's reading and drawing the outline of the passage... correct me if I reiiterated the point wrong ...

Easy to skim, requires more brainpower (focus and attention) when it comes to practice questions

Started around april 28 when Overdrive informed me I have this book

Good review on classical (mechanical) physics.

Not quite done the chapter on acid and bases, however I started oxidation-reduction (ex LEORA says GEROA) interesting to note it's good to have a basic knowledge of undergrad (after year 2 would be sufficient) to immediately understand biochemical references and real-world context. On top of that, I understand which areas I need to review thoroughly (work on = solutions)...

Typo on question 12, instead of °C all the options should be in K. I was confused once I did the calculations, otherwise it was a pretty good chapter on gases

When Ed asked Min out

Definitely many good arguments to jot down

Sometimes there's frustration, othertimes I find his colleagues' reactions mildly disturbing... I didn't expect myself to be so absorbed into the memoir and I like it a bit more by how human everyone is.

Swirl and Wen the dreamer and the book of records which stops midway....

Relatable and I appreciate the Chinese characters, pinyin and musical scores as well as the jianpu notation

Started Benno’s POV

Funny and fascinating

Funny and fascinating

Still here, but after Theo strangles Egyptian scretch artist version of Meg, I can see why there's no future between him and Marguerite ...

Short kind of bittersweet, good compassionate humour

Two versions have gone

Ch6 starts off talking about DKA which ties in a little bit with HCO3^- awhile back, the sarcasm in page 179 tho... amusing writing. Also key concept p. 182 better explains the difference from previous chapter. Concept check of key concept p.181 keq=kc (ex H2O of #2 p.185) and trick question where you use P instead of [products]/[reactants} good test questions of comprehension (of details)

Just finished chapter 5: kinetics, I really enjoyed that one! It felt like there were less concept checks simply because there were only 2 sections, and I enjoyed doing the "math" of the discrete practice questions where I got to reapply the different "rules" (for example, the stoiech of the rate limiting step = order of the reactant) and maybe I should go back and redo them to test my comprehension of the subject!

Started around the 25th of June, might have to reread...

Almost finished chapter 4 discrete practice questions. Thoughts: maybe should have mentionned on side application of bicarbonate... otherwise good coverage of stoiech and the mnemonics for the nomenclature are helpful (ex: "ate" more oxygen). It's nice how the conclusion is written in an encouraging way lol

rying to study sutras, the kitten on my page. Demanding affection.

Or 97/395 of the library eBook, right now on chapter 4 which is about food, so far a lot was covered in that YouTube video but I really like the one image about the different words based on cultural norms and different light fixture designs lol Le Klint XD

It's painfully sad how oblivious Algernon is to the mocking of his coworkers... and then when he becomes even more aware it kind of breaks my heart... (date started on flight back home I think)

Not quite done chapter 3 as I am finishing up the concept review of bonds (ionic, covalent & intermolecular forces). Had fun reviewing VSERP theory (and reading les différences entre le géométrie électronique et le géometrie moléculaire). Ainsi, finalement je crois je comprends le différence entre la charge formal et l'état d'oxydation puisque en réalité, la charge d'un atome se lie entre les deux extremités...

212/241 (large print) Finished part II and I haven't started Lucy's epilogue, yet. I took some pictures of passages I'd like to revise and words I'd like to research. I think a lot of the the people we met in part I come back again, and definitely there is a lot of philosophy at play here. The idea of scientific knowledge is flawed because humans are flawed is interesting and the message to his daughter is touching.

Complimentary colors may be "beyond the scope" of the mcat, but it is a nice review :) 1st chapter refers much to physics and math review, 2nd some biochem ref but perhaps chem might not have been the first book to start with... maybe check box later. 1st chapter covers quatum theory equations ish, too bad heisenburg uncertainty was not shown. 2e touches on groups of the periodic table and =a review of HS chem ish
