MCAT CARS Walkthrough - AAMC Sample Test CARS Passage 6

[@jarodormsby5423]

Great breakdown! I wanted to add some thoughts as someone who picked 'C' on Q34 for any test takers out there. One tip I got was not overjustify your answer choice. I was dead set on having my answer choice include the word 'strategy' that the second I saw that word, I clicked it without giving much thought to it, and under timed conditions you may be tempted to do the same. I have found that when the AAMC uses phrases like "the most correct" or "most in accord", you gotta recognize, like it was mentioned in the video, you probably could come up with a better answer yourself, but that may not be an actual answer choice. Don't go into the answer choices overly determined like I did. Give @IFD a like and subscribe, these guys are giving top notch videos (better than 3rd party test prep IMO) free of cost.

Thanks so much, Jarod and yes I agree with the analysis of Q34! In our video on Avoiding MCAT Traps, we discuss what we call "Namedropping" which is exactly what you just described! We're so prone to anchoring and they use that against us! Great catch and thank you for everything!

This is from the AAMC, so while some passages are definitely easier than others, this is as representative as it gets, especially when compared to other third party resources:-)
