ectopic pregnancy presents with a lower-than expected rise in hcg (as seen in this question)

the empty uterus is what helped me differentiate. A molar pregnancy should have an enlarged uterus.

There are a lot of hints in the stem to suggest ectopic pregnancy:
-Severely increased B-hCG (meaning there is a pregnancy of some type, versus none in normal women) -lower quadrant pain (either side; why appendicitis is on the differential diagnosis if it's right side) (probably the strongest hint here) -Empty uterus on ultrasound -Sudden onset abdominal pain
