I’m testing in 3 days and I could not for the life of me get this stuff to stick in my head. This video did the best job by far of any resource I tried. Not only were the explanations clear and concise, but you both also kept it conversational and fun, which made a 37 min video (on a boring topic LOL) fly by. Thanks so much for this! 🙂

Wow that’s so kind of you! I’m glad it helped and I hope you crush that exam this weekend!

that was so fun~ this actually made chem more bearable; yall are too funny

[@InformingFutureDoctors]

Thank you! I thought our discussion of Ion-Column chromatography was ~electric~...... I’ll show myself out...

[@bloop8691]

thank you!! really appreciated the example questions at the end to solidify understanding

[@darynshort8613]

Testing in exactly 1 week. You are both hilarious, I absolutely loved this and it was incredibly helpful!

Thanks for the kind words and Goodluck studying!!

Thank you so much! I was having some difficulty grasping these ideas but you guys made it super fun and easy to understand! Thank youuu 💕

thank you!!! testing this week and you guys finally made it make sense lol

[@tiffanysotomi22]

This was sooo helpful!! It honestly felt like a nice conversation, and it was laid out really well. I am going to be taking my MCAT in 28 days, do you guys have any tips?

[@InformingFutureDoctors]

This whole channel is our tip! But definitely make sure you know how to Simplify the Question Stem & use the Flowchart Method (they are strategies in our strategy playlist). Past that, just keep taking and reviewing tons of practice exams and good luck!

What playlist is this video in? Is it High Yield Sciences or a certain week?

[@InformingFutureDoctors]

High yield, should be!

29:20 so when were determining what will elute first we don't focus on the mobile phase we focus on what binds with the stationary phase? Idk why I thought D wasn't right because I thought since compound 2 is more polar, that it would stay in the polar mobile phase longer and work its way up. So do we just focus on the stationary phase and what sticks to it? Thus normal phase, polar stationary so polar elutes last, and reverse phase nonpolar stationary so polar elutes first? Literally I confused myself from looking at this too long 😂😂

This topic is on the MCAT?

High yield!

dude you know that you've been on the MCAT grind for too long when you start swooning over the MCAT prep KZbinrs. I was watching a Shemmassian Academic Academy video the other day and while the guy was talking about how he got a perfect score on the chem/phys section the whole time I was thinking "wow he has really pretty eyes o - o"
