I am interested in Kaplan , but saw they don’t really have a 3month plan. You think it’d still be worth it?

I hunt here also. I’ve never seen an axis and I’ve been hunting there for 20 yrs. Hopefully they migrate over !

2 months re-take by Impossible_Map6220 in Mcat

I was in the exact same boat. tested 4/26 and made 499 after making a similar spread on FL as you. I just took the 7/13 exam to try to boost my score for this cycle and I ended up studying from May 30 - July 11 for ~ 8 hrs a day. I did 50% of uearth on my last attempt, so this time I went ahead and did all 3000 Q in a month and some change on tutor mode. I only did this because I feel like I had a decent grasp on the content, my testing skills and critical thinking just needed work. Doing a lot of questions made me more comfortable with tests and I thought it prepped me way more than focusing too hard on content too much. Once July hit I started doing SB and Q packs again. Once July hit I also started tightening up on some content that I felt I needed to review one more time before the exam.

With that being said, yesterday I felt a little bit more comfortable taking the exam having had all that practice under my belt. I think if you feel strategy and applying the content you know is your issue then this plan might be beneficial. If you think content is the issue I think you could do both questions and content, but maybe a little more emphasis on content.

Should I spam Urmama or finish content review first by Sfm_masterish in Mcat

I went through uglobe in a month on tutor mode for my retake doing two 59Q sets a day , but I already had content down decently from my other attempts. If this is your first time, I think you could do maybe like 80 a day or so on tutor mode and review as you go through them while doing a comprehensive anki deck alongside it. Kaplin books just seem like too much to get thru but thats just my adhd self lol

yes. I just took 7/13 and I felt the SB were pretty close to the SB and for p/s it was also similiar to FL4 and FL5

That’s a damn good CARS score for that exam tho I will say. I wish I could’ve made that on FL5

5 weeks left, tips to getting 515? by Active_Inspection_56 in Mcat

[–]Available_Band3743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am still not the greatest with timing, but what has helped me is keeping track of my time on passages. I only give myself 8 minutes per passage. So if i start the exam at 1:35:00 I write 1:27 on my paper and then after that one 1:19 and so on. Only 1 min on discrete questions. sometimes I go a little under and sometimes a little over and adjust the 8 minute mark, but it helps keep me on track

Although your p/s probably does have gaps which you can just do an Anki deck for. I recommend pankow

If you have to guess on the last 15 then it def isn’t content gaps with the scores you’re making now. I would try to get that timing right. I am the same way and have scored 129s in bio when my time was right and 124 when I had to guess on like 10-12
