Hello! I am a non-traditional student (by that, I mean I'm old) and studying to take the MCAT. I have a degree in Art History and for the last several years I've been enrolled in science and math courses in preparations for the the exam. I hope to enter medical school during the Fall of 2021, meaning I want to take the exam next spring and apply to schools in May.
Full disclosure, I failed physics in high school - not because of any deficit on the teacher's part. He was great; interesting and fun. I realize now that I didn't have the math background needed to succeed in physics. I did have a guidance counselor who told me on my way into 10th grade that I was good in science and should take physics... IN THE 10TH GRADE. Big mistake.
In college, I've succeeded in scorings A's in both Physics I and II... mainly because I can memorize and I had another fabulous teacher. I still struggle with some concepts and my memorization has proven to be mostly short term.
