My life has just been physics recently 😩 Also, I had to get up at 3:30 this morning because my dad forgot something at home and I had to drop it off to him at the airport. Took a nap but am still exhausted and nothing I read seems to stick in my head, plus my focus is at an all time low 😪😪 Any suggestions?

Tips to Ace Biochemistry

Was I the only one? I probably cried ten times. I wanted to make a blog post on Biochemistry and share some tips with you all on how to ace it. 

Tip #1: Make good study guides!

Often, I would do is write notes while reading through my textbook. Then, I try to make a simple summary sheet of all my notes. For example, there are a number of properties for each amino acid. Some of them are shared, such as nonpolar or polar, while others are unique. 

You can check out my video for an example of the study guide I used.  

I found another example while searching on Google. I hope it helps visualize what I am talking about.

 Tip #2: Connect Metabolic Concepts Together

In the latter part of biochemistry, there will be a ton of metabolic reactions/processes. So, connect the concepts together. This picture is a sample that I found online. 

Tip #3: Practice! Practice! Practice!

I think one thing people forget to mention about biochemistry is the course contains math. Yah, math! Especially in the beginning, when studying enzyme kinetic equations. So, practicing problems is important. 

Some resources are:

1. Textbook

2. Ask your professor for practice problems

3. Search online - here is an example: https://canvas.brown.edu/courses/843821/pages/old-exams

Tip #4: Use YouTube

1. Moof University - best biochemistry videos on metabolism.

2. AK Lectures - best videos on enzyme kinetics.

With AMCAS application season in full swing it has me thinking about how expensive it can be to embark on this journey to medical school #premedproblems 

Check out my blog post on the resources I'm using to pay for it all: https://www.momentsinmed.com/medicine/pre-med/afford-medical-school-applications/

First test of the semester is tomorrow! It’s all basic bio but I feel like I haven’t studied enough. Good luck to everyone else who have tests soon.

I'm so grateful for my gels.

•scientific literature•

i think you can learn alot about how to ask question and how to solve problems from primary lit. its not easy to read and i always have to break it down (see my notes) but i always learn something about how to approach a problem from prime lit.

I just realized I’ve had this account for so long and haven’t ever wrote an intro! Some facts about me: - You can call me D, I’m 20 (soon to be 21) and live in Canada. - I am currently in University for a BSc, and my major is Biochemistry. - One of my biggest insecurities for my med school application is my GPA. It took me a long time to find studying methods that worked for me in university and so my first and second year were not great for me, and are definitely not a reflection of how much I’ve learned or how hard I’ve worked. But I’m trying to stay positive and hopefully things will work out in the end! - Although I was always interested in medicine and health care, I didn’t consider a medical career until very recently! I always thought that I’d end up with a career related to drug development or medical research, but I fell in love with physiology when I took an elective and decided to take MCAT this summer! - Honestly, I feel like a bit of an oddball in the studygram/studyblr community. I don’t really care about the aesthetic of things and I’ve never cared for having neat/pretty notes. I mainly just joined to help increase my motivation, meet like-minded individuals, and draw inspiration from others’ journey while also sharing my own! - I’d love to hear why you guys joined the studygram community in the comments! 💕

FIND A MCAT STUDY BUDDY

So, I thought this would be a cool idea. Studying for the MCAT is hard. It is awesome to have someone going through the same thing.

I created a subreddit, which can be used. Click on the link below and find your exam date.
