39			About the document: The point of this document is basically an aggregate of notes to help streamline the review process. If a section is already filled out, use it to help you review material you missed. If a section is empty, use it to actively review by filling it out - both question pathologies and content that is relevant. Hopefully, this will help guide you to efficiently and thoroughly review material and form a community of learning. Make sure to scroll right. There is sometimes more, useful information. For people who would like to make edits: Feel free to edit/add on to anything anyone has added. Please DON'T delete information unless there is a mistake in the explanation. If the current explanation is unclear, feel free to rewrite it, or qualify the explanation, or add on extra information after by adding a space between the older answers and yours (ctrl+enter), but don't remove someone else's work if you aren't going to make it any better. If you make any edits, consider putting your username/whatever on the credits page. Remember that we are looking for explanations, so rather than simply saying 'just use the equation in the passage,' actually show the calculations so that if someone made a mistake in numbers they can see what they did wrong. For regular users/people who are trying to edit a large amount of stuff at once, feel free to remove the protections on the sheet while you work. Make sure you put the protections back on to "show a warning when editing" when you're done. (see the 9/9/18 announcement on the right) -MedicinalYoyos											General				Guides		8/4/23	For anyone requesting edit access, I am only granting edit access to folks that will contribute to explanations. You must mention this in your request. I am not granting edit access for those who want to copy or download the sheet. There are other versions of the sheet available for those purposes, please check older announcements for links.

If you would like a copy of the sheet, please use the link on the right to download! I believe google caps users at 100 at a time for the sheet. If there are over 100 users, use the link to the published version of the sheet on the right.				Downloadable sheet 5/30/23

Without you all, this would not be the resource it is. Please do not post advertisements on the sheet! The point of me making this on gsheets and doing it publicly was to not have any paywall at all and to not be associated with any group. I wrote a small note about the conception of this sheet and its purpose, I will share a link to it for those interested. - MedYoyos

A lot of people have been asking for the option to download. Unfortunately, Google Sheets does not allow for downloading while a sheet is view-only. To be honest, the eventual goal is to put this sheet into an online app or tool, since Sheets limits the number of active users at a time to 100. For now, I'll post a downloadable excel file, and I hope to work on a (free, open source) website implementation in early 2021! Please remember, I'd love to have your edits and creative solutions added to this sheet, so if you have better answers or cool additions you added to the sheet you downloaded, please let me know so I could add you as an editor to this online google sheet!				Excel sheet for the doc!

61			CARS	Minutes:										MCATReview.org Concise Notes						8/27/20	Hi all, unfortunately between work and applications I simply have no time to fix the current version of the sheet/undo all the deletes that happened this path month and update the entire sheet. At least for a while, I'm afraid the previous versions of the sheet are your best bet. 7/21/2020 contains all the most recent updates of this year, but note that much of the AAMC material was worked on for years and you might have an easier time using the 9/28/2019 version, the sheet was pretty clean at that time and had really good answers. Again, I apologize I can't fix this mess just yet, but this sheet is still a dear effort of mine and I guarantee I will piece it back together as soon as I can!

68			4 Questions:	3																8/24/20	Unfortunately, the sheet was vandalized today. I reverted everthing back to 4 AM this morning. Permissions are set to publically viewable, but only people who have edit access can make edits. I am going to remove all previous editors when I have time to ensure something like what happened today doesn't happen again. If anyone wants to edit (and I would appreciate everyone who chooses to!) send me a message so I can add you as an editor. I can't guarantee I'll get to everyone's concerns immediately, but I'll do my best to make this sheet to be purely a place where anyone can come and find answers to their questions, and hopefully reduce their MCAT stress through this collaboratory effort. Update: In spite of restoring to earlier today, it looks like there was vandalism from even earlier that I had missed. I urge y'all to notify me when things like this happen as soon as you notice them happen in the future, since otherwise I won't know. I rely on the community to help me maintain this sheet. For now, I am linking view-only links to previous versions of the sheet so people can access any missing information.				Spreadsheet 07.21.2020

78																				8/22/20	Okay so there's been a huge issue with the spread - google sheets only supports less than 100 people on a sheet, editing, at a time. This is kinda annoying. I'm considering publishing the sheet so that it can be more accessible, and making a second copy for editors to edit to lower traffic. I will make two copies of this sheet, one for the published version and one for the editable version, and replacing this sheet with links to both. I will test this out on other sheets before I do that here, but if anyone has suggestions please lmk! Thanks for all the responses for the questionnaire about the title of the sheet! We got a whopping 90 responses! The title by majority is "MCAT Explanations". There were some creative suggestions! I'll post the results when I get a chance.

94																				7/4/20	Chill with renaming the sheet. I made a form so we can figure out a name a little more democratically rather than it changing every 2 days.				https://forms.gle/YpBczUSFJnfo5BrD7

96																				6/12/20	Looks like Google spazzed out again, happens every now and then. Permissions are reinstated, sheet should be public again. Great to know my phone blows up when this happens lol
97
98																				5/17/20	HUGE thank you to the people who helped fill out FL4. Yall are awesome! The people have spoken! We'll use Arial (size 10) font for the doc. Thanks to everyone that voted. The form to vote is still available if you still want to vote of course.
