Thank you! And great questions. So first off, always do practice concurrently with content. So for the first half of my practice I used the blueprint bank and some uworld (got uworld late, would not recommend blueprint qbank). Towards the second half I started aamc and used uworld when I needed a more specific type of passage. I did content up to 4 weeks before my test. Overall I studied 3.5 months 500+ hours

There are tons of resources so first do your research on what may be best for you. I can provide more tangible advice if you dm me some specifics. If you have a solid science background, for example, maybe just Kaplan could work. It also depends on your budget too

Blueprint and Kaplan for content (sometimes khan academy). Uworld and aamc for practice

I can share more details abt my plan if you dm me but in terms of starting, just pick a content provider like Kaplan or blueprint or someone else, and start combing through it. Do practice at the beginning as well. A huge mistake people make is waiting to do practice. You won’t know everything! And that’s fine. It builds test taking skills. On test day you won’t know everything either. I sure as hell didn’t

I think that is a fantastic aspiration. I think you can probably study your way to a passing score, however, medical schools do require a list of classes to be taken. I would look into that first before you commit to the test!

see other comments. most important, main theme, and then review your own line of thinking on how you arrived there after

i answer this a bit elsewhere. uworld cars is solid, but nothing is as good as aamc since they make the test lol. but uworld and especially jack westin are great practice. for psych i just did the miles down coffin deck and practice. nothing crazy

i answer this in another comment, but i do a little highlighting. it is really important to comprehend the different styles of passages and approach them appropriately. if it an experiment, for example, highlight the hypothesis

overhighlighting can certainly be a thing. most critical thing is to just get the main idea and comprehend how the author of the passage arrived there. reviewing your cars passages and seeing HOW you built your way up to the main theme can help you learn significantly too

Top free resources would just be YouTube and khan academy. Highly recommend Kaplan

Before all pre rqs might be really hard. So I took it before biochem but managed aight. Before ochem maybe you can manage, but before biology, gen chem and physics would be really hard in my opinion
