AAMC FL 1, P/S #43

Hi guys, I'm kind of confused with the definitions of all of the answer choices, which may stem from confusion between short term/working memory as well. I thought that the distinction between the 2 is that short term = info you take in from surroundings (ex. you see the math problem 1+1) and working = when you start thinking/manipulating that data (you think about how 1+1 = 2). I can definitely see why B is correct, but I don't understand why C can't also be correct. I've looked online for the differences and some people are saying that short term memory = iconic and echoic memory, is that not the same as sensory memory?

Hi everyone! I took the MCAT last year 4/26, but after averaging ~514 on FLs I unfortunately bombed the real thing (507, 130/125/124/128) and had 1 II --> R. I want to retake the MCAT and apply again this year, but I've been busy with school and only recently started reviewing stuff. Just retook FL1 today, and this is my score. I'm going to look over it, but seeing the BB score drop so much really worries me, especially since that was the section that messed me up during my real test. I'm also worried that my score is inflated because I took the same test last year already. Does anyone have any testing strategies for BB, or any tips overall on how I can really maximize my time studying with the limited time I have left?
