Time is like water.
Time flies.
Two years passed in a blink of an eye.
the year 1995.
One day in April.
Adam walked into the examination room.
Today, he will take the MCAT test here.
MCAT is the abbreviation of the American Medical College Entrance Examination.
In the past two years, Adam has been greedy for the dark and has worked very hard to sub-study the two subjects of biology and psychology in one fell swoop. He is expected to receive a double bachelor's degree in biology and psychology in May.
Because he is in a hurry to enroll in medical school this fall, he has to take the MCAT now, and then after he gets his bachelor's degree, he immediately submits an application to the U.S. medical school application institution. Everything is done before June, otherwise he has to Delayed to the next year.
Fortunately, Adam is rich and has Leonard's contacts, so although time is a bit rushed, the problem is not big.
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.
Divided into four parts.
1. The biological and biochemical basis of life systems.
2. The chemical and physical basis of biological systems.
3. The psychological, social and biological basis of behavior.
4. Critical analysis and reasoning skills.
Looking at the content of the exam, you can fully understand why Adam had to apply for the Department of Biology of Columbia University in the first place.
Because biology is really a similar science of medicine, studying biology without medicine in the undergraduate course will definitely save the time of studying pre-medicine after undergraduate to pass the MCAT.
Adam’s psychology is not learned in vain. It not only increases the ability to warn of danger, but also saves the process of learning behavioral psychology, critical analysis and reasoning skills separately.
As for the social, chemical, and physical foundations, it is a trivial matter to Adam.
After all, it's just the foundation, and it's not about doing in-depth research like studying string theory.
Like the SAT, MCAT has many exams every year, and you only need to pass it once. However, unlike the SAT, which can choose the best score to declare, the medical school will look at all your scores.
Therefore, it is best to pass with a high score once, or even if your later scores are good, the medical school may still brush you off based on your previous test scores.
The proportion of medical school application and admission is below 3% all year round, and less than 1% at Harvard Medical School. After excluding the'high-quality talents', the number of places left for you is really pitiful, and it takes 0.5%. Thank god.
In this case, the threshold is naturally extremely high, and the best is selected.
If the application materials are slightly flawed, they will definitely be brushed off directly.
When he walked into the examination room, Adam swept around and saw that he was not young enough to take the test. Few juniors like Adam came to take the test.
The entire test lasts for seven and a half hours. The answer time is 6 hours and 15 minutes. There will be an intermission of 1 hour and 15 minutes, but it is still an extremely difficult test for most examinees.
Adam has the stamina just as good as yours. This level of test is not even a trivial matter. In addition, he has sufficient preparation for the test and is in a very good state.
After the exam, he walked out of the exam room with a relaxed expression, without any excitement at all.
Drive back to the apartment.
"Surprise!"
As soon as I entered the door, I saw many people's heads popping out and shouting at him.
"Wow!"
Adam exclaimed: "You guys! I am so surprised!"
Monica and the others are very pleased with Adam's performance. They know that Adam's exam is very important today, so they specially prepared a surprise party for him.
Heather walked up and gave Adam a warm hug.
"Thank you for notifying me in advance."
Adam chuckled in Heather's ear.
"Ha ha."
Heather joked: "If you don't tell you in advance, what if you shoot and go wrong?"
In the past two years, she has maintained a close relationship with Adam, and they have been discussing almost every night. On holidays, as long as Adam, Juno and Karen meet to go hunting in the forest hut, she will follow him every time.
Therefore, she is very familiar with Adam's steady style, and even she was influenced by Adam and Juno, acting exceptionally steady.
For example, for this surprise party, Monica secretly organized it without Adam, but of course Heather had to be pulled in, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to enter Adam's apartment.
If you change to an ordinary person, you will definitely keep it secret.
But Heather understands that Adam doesn't like surprises, and if he doesn't notify in advance, it is very likely that surprises will turn into fright, and even cause very serious consequences.
Adam's apartment hides a lot of guns and ammunition. If Monica and the others are allowed to have a party without making arrangements in advance, it will be a big problem.
This is why Monica and they both gave each other spare keys, but Adam never gave him the keys to the apartment.
"Adam, how did it go?"
Chandler cared.
"that's good."
Adam believes himself.
"Yeah!"
Everyone cheered again.
Next, everyone spread out, and they looked for someone to chat with each other.
The American party is like this. Although there is a protagonist and theme, after the protagonist appears on the scene, they will naturally talk about each other.
Because Americans are free, everyone is the protagonist.
But Monica and other small groups still surround Adam.
"I'll call Juno."
Adam kissed Heather, asked Heather to entertain them first, and went back to the bedroom to call Juno.
As Juno who has the same aspirations as Adam and has always kept pace, naturally he will not miss today's exam.
In fact, since Adam decided to reduce undergraduate time two years ago, Juno has done the same thing.
"How?"
"What do you think?"
"Well, congratulations."
"Tongxi."
Juno and Adam are equally confident.
There are many geniuses who study medicine, but the proportion is definitely far lower than those who study mathematics and physics, and it can even be said that they are not of an order of magnitude at all.
Because IQ is normal, you can study medicine. Through hard work, you can not only become a doctor, you can even become a top doctor.
But mathematics, physics, there is no absolute IQ. You can go to high school to be a science teacher at most. It is very difficult to get a doctorate in related disciplines. If you want to become a top expert professor, you can only sleep well. Up.
With Adam and Juno's genius IQ, they are not among the top medical students, but they are also among the best, not to mention that they have prepared three years in advance for this. A medical school entrance exam is not a problem at all.
"After graduating in May before June, we will pass the application and get the offer of medical school. During the summer vacation, I will bring Karen and you will bring Heather. Let’s go out and celebrate. How about ?"
Juno suggested.
"Okay."
Adam smiled and said, "Where do you want to go?"
"How about going to the east country?"
Juno excitedly said, "It's full of mystery, and it's fascinating."
"Don't talk about it again, and listen to Karen and Heather's opinions then."
Adam smiled bitterly.
"Also."
Juno has no opinion.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then hung up the phone. After all, it was Monica and they prepared a party for him today.
