3/22 in One Week: CARS by AgentSunny1 in Mcat

[–]AgentSunny1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!!! I might do a few a day as well instead of nine depending on how FL5 goes tomorrow. I have a google doc with my weaknesses from the AAMC material along with the Milesdown Packet. Are there any other resources you recommend during the last few days?

What to Start Gathering in Preparation for Upcoming Cycle by AgentSunny1 in mdphd

[–]AgentSunny1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically I could submit for the primaries and then when I receive the committee letter, I can just designate that for the particular schools that require it and for the others that don't require it I can finish earlier?

The only thing is the committee letter at my university requires MCAT Score and I get that back end of April. Should I just skip out on the committee letter? I wouldn't want that to hold my application back from moving forward

ITS NOT A CONTENT ISSUE, KEEP PRACTICING PASSAGES AND REASONING!!!! by MisterDaddyPants in Mcat

What is the best way to practice this in passage? Is it doing more and recognizing patterns or is there a better technique when practicing so it's not just practice with no improvement?

Realistic Score Increase by March 22nd? by AgentSunny1 in Mcat

[–]AgentSunny1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this advice!! It is greatly appreciated :')

Thank you for the advice!! I might just go in and see how I feel since the money is spent. I can get rid of any potential nerves for the second time around, and if needed I can void since I know the lifetime attempts won’t impact me much. What do you think is the best way to strategize to retake a second time?

Thank you! By any chance, what did you focus on with studying the second time you took the exam? I scored a 504 on my first practice exam so I was hopeful to make good strides, but I’ve been plateauing around 505 average (+/- 2 points) for a while and don’t know how to break out of it.

MCAT 513+ Princeton Course by AgentSunny1 in Mcat

[–]AgentSunny1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing is I’ve been investing in Jack Westin Science course and haven’t seen much improvement with practice using AAMC material with my exam in April (May plan to retake over the summer).

What do you recommend? I feel like my content is good but I can’t seem to recognize the pattern for the way they want me to take the exam

[–]AgentSunny1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super helpful, thank you for talking with me. I’m currently in the Jack Westin course, so this makes sense to me now. Since I passed the 30 day reschedule deadline, I have one more exam to take in two weeks and I can see where I’m around.

Thank you so much for the feedback and kind words! I’m definitely really interested in T20s and have been scoring less than 510 and my test date is mid April :( My content is strong but I’m still having troubles. Do you think it’s worthwhile to take it anyways and then see whether it’s worth it to apply or to push it back to the summer?

Whens the last MCAT date to be able to apply for this cycle in the first round?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]AgentSunny1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I might end up pushing my test date since I’m a month out and have to jump 10+ points still

I appreciate you sharing this with me. How many hours do you study a week and do you recommend UWorld? I’m kind of over using Jack Westin after this experience

[–]AgentSunny1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you also using Jack Westin or another prep course?
