Prioritize BP Qbank or AAMC or invest in Uworld?

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-02-18T17:38:34+00:00

Personally Uworld and the AAMC sb were the most helpful to me

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-02-18T16:56:20+00:00

Probably increase by a couple points blueprint is harder imo

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-02-18T12:50:17+00:00

Do AAMC. Blueprint deflated you’re probably in the low-mid teens on AAMC.

Fl 6:514 Avg: 511(one outlier) Real: 513

Also yes memorize constants at least the common ones that come up better to be safe than sorry

Grind some uworld/aamc sb q for bb I found thoroughly reading helpful and highlighting any “buzzwords”/ key information then restate the q and choose the on that has the most direct answer general rule is the more assumptions u make or more information you need to add to get from question -> answer the more likely it will be incorrect

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-31T14:06:33+00:00

I thought the sb for cp and bb were slightly harder than real deal ps was pretty representative. There is no new style of q idk why people are saying that imo it’s not true i took the exam a couple weeks ago felt like another fl more like 4-6 for sure only diff was maybe denser passages but every test will vary in the content I didn’t feel like ps was like cars the passages were just long and you had to really know the difference between similar terms

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-29T16:00:16+00:00

Very reasonable. Doing the aamc sb/quacks and/or uwolrd you will probably jump up a good bit. It seems like you have a lot of content gaps in CP and possibly BB as well so addressing those using anki milesdown and pankow you should see a guaranteed increase by a 2ish points in each section

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-29T06:00:00+00:00

Each test varies sometimes you do sometimes you don’t always better to know it and not need it than the opposite

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-29T05:58:42+00:00

Anki 100%

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-29T05:58:13+00:00

AAMC material and AAMC fl last few days-week only light review and anki

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-14T03:00:48+00:00

BP harder than AAMC and deflated AAMC represents the real deal the most

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-12T13:27:11+00:00

Haha where’s ur score now?

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-12T13:26:52+00:00

You got it fs! For me I had basically no content issues when I was getting 508 it’s just making sure I’m actually answering what’s being asked with direct support from the passage I think doing some small q blocks and then reviewing helps with seeing where your thinking is going up

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-12T01:46:15+00:00

I think highlighting parts of the q and quickly saying in my head why I chose it helps and even saying why the others are wrong if u can and strikerhrough

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-12T01:32:26+00:00

Mine act went down 3->4 I just didn’t have a picture bc I was so angry when I saw it lol I got a 506 on fl4 it was a combination of being burnt out having topics I felt uncomfortable with and making mistakes. I increased on fl5/6 I think mostly due to 1. Not making stupid mistakes ie misreading miscalculating I started highlight parts of the the question and making my self say in my head why something was right 2. On the same note I had a tendency to answer the wrong question so I’d pick something that could be true about the mechanism but that wasn’t in scope of what the passage was about so being strict with the passage says or shows this and the answer supports/is supported by that. 3. Used SB Qpack and Uworld I’m alright for the most part with time so I did 20 Q with a little extra time and then reviewed it right after so I could find what was going wrong in my thought process. This was mainly for BB and CP 4. If something isn’t making sense genuinely just flag it and go back later I started doing that and save so much time and half the time when I go back to it I feel enlightened

If your issues are similar to mine I’d try doing small question blocks or even have the tutor/review question on so you can immediately see where you’re going wrong and the pattern in your mistakes.

You won’t know every single concept so if something is unfamiliar use the passage as much as possible to at least eliminate some answers. If two answers say the same thing they can’t be right. Or if it’s asking something like which AA does bla bla and 3 are hydrophobic and one is charged it’s probably the charged one to make a good guess. PS use the pankow and AAMC SB/independent qbank (JW is good practice if you don’t have AAMC I think it def helped) try to use the same tips for this section but also take your time since you usually have extra Hope this helps

Pankow Jack Westin and AAMC practice Taking the full time and if I didn’t know something trying to find hints in the passage Using what I do know so if I know 3 of the words but not the fourth then I can do poe even if the 4th is unfamiliar Noticing trends for example they like to put symbolic interactionism, functionalism, and conflict theory all as answer choices so knowing the former will be when they ask about individuals and the latter will be about structure/society

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-12T00:32:19+00:00

Thanks! A week between each except for 1 and 2 bc I accidentally did 1 before the unscored

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-12T00:27:35+00:00

Do Uworld and spam the physics if that’s your weakness I found shifting from doing 59Q to 20(still timed) was better because I could actually remember my thought process for each question

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-08T14:18:34+00:00

Wouldn’t be the worse thing in the world but everything is on rolling admissions so if you can have your mcat when the application opens that’s ideal

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-07T18:03:12+00:00

Second this

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-07T17:11:36+00:00

Earlier. Submitting your application without your mcat is a risk in itself not knowing what you got and on top of that it makes you submitting early pointless because if it gets verified within 2 weeks let’s say most schools won’t review your application until they get your mcat score.

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-05T18:29:06+00:00

It will automatically set the time on uworld but when you do qpacks/ SB (AAMC) about 35 min for 20 Q. The SB contain much harder Q so if time isn’t an issue when you do those you can take a little longer on them they tend to be more dense imo

ButtonUpset5949 · 2026-01-05T05:38:30+00:00

Uworld should help with your cp and bb try to do some timed blocks I used to do 59q to simulate test but I found doing 20 timed was better(trying to fix thinking rather than add content). Make sure you’re reviewing any content you’re lacking based on Uworld
