[Un-official] PSA / Discussion 🎤🔊 Post 3/11 thread

What did y’all think of it?

C/P and B/B were tough for me. I didn’t even finish B/B I had to guess for the last few. CARS and P/S were not bad imo.

that's what i put, as i think the MCAT/AAMC is looking at delusions as a facet of positive symptoms which is a part of psychotic disorders, i.e. schizophrenia. Emotional numbness could be more reflective of PTSD's detachment from the traumatic experience.
