Chapter 152 Medical College Entrance Exam
Time is like water.
Time flies.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
1995 year.
One day in April.
Adam walked into the exam room.
Today, he will take the MCAT here.
MCAT is the abbreviation for the Rice Medical College Admission Test.
In the past two years, Adam has been working hard to complete the undergraduate studies of biology and psychology in one fell swoop, and is expected to obtain a double bachelor's degree in biology and psychology in May.
Because he is in a hurry to enter medical school this fall, he has to take the MCAT now, and then after getting his undergraduate bachelor's degree, he will immediately submit an application to the medical school application agency in the United States, and he must get everything done before June, otherwise it will be delayed until the next year.
Fortunately, Adam has money and Leonard's connections, so although he is in a bit of a hurry, it is not a big problem.
The MACT exam is designed to test natural, behavioral, and social science concepts, prerequisites for medical research, and knowledge of problem-solving and critical thinking.
It is divided into four parts.
1. The biological and biochemical basis of living systems.
2. Chemical and physical foundations of biological systems.
3. Psychological, social and biological basis of behavior.
4. Critical analysis and reasoning skills.
Looking at the content of the exam, it is completely understandable why Adam wanted to apply for the biology department of Columbia University in the first place.
Because biology is really a similar science to medicine, studying biology in the absence of medicine in the undergraduate program will definitely greatly save the time of studying pre-medicine after undergrad to pass the MCAT.
Adam's psychology was not learned in vain, not only increasing the ability to warn of danger, but also saving the process of learning behavioral psychology, critical analysis, and reasoning skills alone.
As for the social, chemical, and physical foundations, for Adam, they are also trivial.
After all, it's just the basics, and it's not like studying string theory.
The MCAT, like the SAT, has many tests per year, and you only need to pass it once, but unlike the SAT, which can pick the best score to declare, medical school will look at all your scores.
Therefore, it is best to pass with a high score at one time, otherwise even if you do well in the later exams, the medical school may still erase you based on your previous results.
The percentage of medical school applicants and admissions is below 3% all year round, and Harvard Medical School is less than 1%, and after excluding 'high-quality talents', the number of places that are really left for you is pitiful, and you have to thank God for having a 0.5%.
In this case, the threshold is naturally extremely high, and the best of the best is selected.
If there is a slight flaw in the application materials, the ironclad will be directly brushed off.
Walking into the examination room, Adam swept around and saw that the age of the exam was not young, and there were very few people like Adam who came to take the exam in his junior year.
The whole exam lasts seven and a half hours, with 6 hours and 15 minutes of answering questions, and an intermission of 1 hour and 15 minutes, but it is still an extremely difficult test for the vast majority of candidates.
Adam has the stamina to show you, and this level of exam is not even trivial, plus he is in good shape because of the preparation for the exam.
After the exam, he walked out of the examination room with a relaxed face, without the excitement of jumping a word horse at all.
Drive back to the apartment.
βsurpriseοΌβ
As soon as he entered the door, he saw many heads popping up and shouting at him.
"Wow!"
Adam exclaimed, "You guys, I, what a surprise!"
Monica and they were very pleased with Adam's performance, they knew that Adam's exam today was very important, so they specially prepared a surprise party for him.
Heather walked up and gave Adam a warm hug.
"Thank you for informing me in advance. β
Adam chuckled in Heather's ear.
"Huh. β
Heather quipped, "What if I didn't tell you in advance, what if you shot and misfired?"
For the past two years, she has maintained a close relationship with Adam, almost every night, and on holidays, whenever Adam, Juno, and Karen meet to go hunting in the cabin in the woods, she will go with him every time.
As a result, she is very familiar with Adam's steady style, and even she has been influenced by Adam and Juno, and her actions are unusually steady.
For example, this surprise party, Monica secretly organized it without Adam, but of course Heather had to be pulled, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to enter Adam's apartment.
If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely follow and hide it.
But Heather understands that Adam doesn't like surprises, and if you don't give advance notice, it's very likely that surprises will turn into surprises, and even have very serious consequences.
Adam's apartment has a lot of guns and ammunition, and it would be a big problem to let Monica and them have a party without arranging it in advance.
This is also the reason why Monica and they both gave each other spare keys, while Adam never gave him the keys to his apartment.
"Adam, how was the test?"
Chandler cared.
"Very good. β
Adam said confidently.
βyeahοΌβ
The crowd cheered again.
Next, everyone dispersed and found someone to chat with.
The rice country party is like this, although there is a protagonist and a theme, but after the protagonist appears on the theme, it is naturally their own chat.
Because the people of the United States are all free, and everyone is the protagonist.
However, Monica and other small groups still surround Adam.
"I'll give Juno a call. β
Adam kissed Heather and asked Heather to entertain them first, and went back to the bedroom to call Juno.
As Juno, who has the same ambition as Adam and has always kept pace, he will naturally not miss today's exam.
In fact, since Adam decided to compress his undergraduate time two years ago, Juno has done the same.
"How?"
"What do you think?"
"Well, congratulations. β
"Tongxi. β
Juno and Adam are equally confident.
There are many geniuses who study medicine, but the proportion is definitely far lower than that of those who study mathematics and physics, and it can even be said that it is not an order of magnitude at all.
Because you can study medicine with a normal IQ, through hard work, you can not only become a doctor, but even become a top doctor.
But mathematics and physics, there is no absolute IQ, you can go to high school to be a science teacher, and it is very difficult to get a doctorate in related disciplines, and if you want to become a top expert professor, you can only wash and sleep.
With the genius IQ of Adam and Juno, they are not the best among medical students, but they are also among the best, not to mention that they have prepared for this for three years in advance, and it is not a problem at all for a medical school entrance exam.
"After graduating in May, I passed the application before June and got an offer for medical school, and during the summer vacation, I took Karen, you took Heather, and we went out to celebrate, how about it?"
Juno suggested.
"Okay. β
Adam laughed, "Where do you want to go?"
"How about going to Dongguo?"
Juno said with great interest: "It's full of mystery and it's fascinating. β
"Let's not talk about it, and I'll have to hear from Karen and Heather when the time comes. β
Adam smiled wryly.
"It's fine. β
Juno has no opinion.
The two chatted a few more words, and then hung up the phone, after all, today is the party that Monica and they have prepared for him, and if he always calls and doesn't show up, then he can't talk about it.
