MCAT Log

I'm going to try and start a log to try and track my progress in the SN2ed program. Unfortunately, because I got sick, I got behind a couple of days so technically, even though it's day 6 of the plan, i'm on Day 3. I'll just start from there.
I'll group each post with the following comments:
1) Day: what assignments were done that day and how i felt about it
2) Things that needed work/to go over
3) What to do the following day

Hopefully I'll go through with this by posting each day on my progress. ahh

Day 3: 
BR Ochem Chapter 1 + 1/3rd of passages
2 verbal passages

Spent approximately 5 hours going over Chapter 1 at Philz coffee which kind of tells me that I need to complete this schedule without dealing with work. It was okay to follow in comparison to the Gen chem chapter which took me nearly 3 days to finish it.
I started understanding what doing 1/3rd of the passages actually meant...but I finished all of the molecular structure review questions and Passage 1, 4 and 6 of the practice exam. I started timing the passages at the end, which is something I really need to do from here on out. One thing to note is that i should really take these passages after taking a break from going over the chapters because my mind is a lot more refreshed.

Things to go over in Ochem:
Acid base chemistry.

• Stronger acids have lower pKa values. The more electron poor the atom, the more acidic the proton.
• Base strength goes opposite as an acid.

Hydrogen bonding: hydrogen bonding can increase boiling point and melting point which increases attraction. 

What to do tomorrow morning:

Review Ochem passages

Read EK bio chapter 1 with 1/3rd of corresponding passages.
