<p>so was it hard?</p>
<p>I personally thought it wasn’t that bad; I was expecting a lot worse. Most questions were pretty doable in the 1 min. 45 sec rotation, so the 30 sec rotation didn’t matter as much for me.</p>
<p>u are very smart.</p>
<p>Yeah the 30 second rotation was pretty useless… there were 3 or 4 stations i was really confused on but the extra round gives you no time to think. You have to instantly know every answer 
memorize everything!!</p>
<p>■■■. …='(</p>
<p>hmm…i hate the time crunch. i felt like if i had another minute or something that i would’ve been able to answer some more</p>
<p>**** was super intense!</p>
<p>hmm jb, calbear and i took the same exam.</p>
<p>and…</p>
<p>If you’re banking on getting an A on the practical to compensate for a bad-low-okay first midterm score…than think again because the questions on the practical in general were much harder than lab quiz questions. I just want a B in this class and if this ends up being my first “C” than I’ll… T-T</p>
<p>if i end up a C in this class…im going to major in environmental economics &policy. ive had too many c’s already.</p>
<p>Are you for real??? You should change your major because you’re either failing or lose interest. To do it because of “Cs”? -____- btw I bet you only have a couple of Cs and I heard once you pass 1AL it gets a lot better =)</p>
<p>=(</p>
<p>how was the bioinformatic section? easy? hard?</p>
<p>No, not really changing major. changing direction. no point in going for med school if your gpa is too low like mine.</p>
<p>bioinformatics… was like impossible…translate a sequence in 1:45 + 3 other parts to the question?
oh man…</p>
<p>seriously. when i got to the bioinformatics i was like ****. took freaking forever.</p>
<p>So, is it the time crunch that makes it hard? I’m taking it this friday, and I memorized every phylum, structure, function, marine tank animal etc. but I don’t know what else to study. What type of questions make the practical so difficult? What would you guys recommend reviewing the most? Thanks…</p>
<p>i was most lost on the stations where they had like 6 random organisms and you had to immediately recognize what they were and know the classifications/cladogram really well to answer the questions</p>
<p>bioinformatics sucked too :/</p>
<p>ah I see… so were the 6 random organisms stuff we actually studied in lab, or was it just like random pictures of organisms belonging to the list of phyla and groups mentioned in the lab manual?</p>
<p>ugh, one of my exam stations had a picture of a nudibranch. i couldn’t believe they would put something so random like that. unfortunately, for the life of me i couldn’t remember what phylum nudibranchs are in…i think i decided that they were annelids. WRONG.</p>
<p>Wait Jb was that station 29ish? The one in the way back that also had a live crayfish, dried sponge and other things? Did we actually have to write the Phylum out? I thought on that station it just said to list the letters? Ahhh I’m hella freaking because I think I missed a lot of points because I couldn’t understand what the question was asking me for a lot of the stations. =/</p>
