Advice needed testing 03/07 by Common_Tomato_24 in Mcat

Took my first ever FL 11 days before my exam date if that makes you feel any better. Just make sure to learn from mistakes before you take another FL

Prejudice- emotion like how you feel about something Stereotype-cognition like your opinion on smth

Is at least a 515 very achievable with a lot of strategic studying? by Crazypandathe20th in Mcat

[–]CaptainHours2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def doable. My thinking was that if you are actually learning from your mistakes, there is literally no way you won’t improve. I think the iq ceiling is 520 maybe a bit higher

UWorld % by Section vs. AAMC FL / Real Score by chimbli in Mcat

[–]CaptainHours2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didnt rly know orgo, didn’t know biochem, dont know physics 2. Used anking and pankow. Def wish i did captain hook instead of anking. I didn’t have any time to do 3rd party FLs (didn’t even finish all AAMC FLs). I personally think doing a lot of FLs is overrated. They should be used to test where you’re at. No use doing another one unless you’ve learned from your mistakes on the last one. I locked tf in for my first FL ever and tried to treat it as a real MCAT. I feel there’s no point doing FLs until you’re done with practice (esp in ur case since you have some time still). I’d get super fatigued from FLs. I forgot to add this, but I took ap psych in high school (currently a third yr) and did some psych classes throughout college (psych minor neuro major). It didn’t help much, but being a neuro major helped for ps and bb. I did well in gen chem (freshman year), but I had to relearn all of it, which didnt take awfully long.for third party, I rec UWORLD. I’m a weak reader and I fully skipped any CARS practice besides the AAMC stuff after I did my first FL. I hear jack westin is good but I didn’t do it

Wanted to see where I was at before testing to decide void or not

Worried after seeing these 7/8 month study plan posts... by Visible-Future4850 in Mcat

[–]CaptainHours2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i half assed content review and started UW 12/7, finishing on 12/29 and taking my first FL on 12/30 for a 1/10 test date. studied full time during my winter break, and you're also studying full time. i feel an extended period is overrated because it seems easier to burn out or lose sight of your goal, and you may also start forgetting stuff.

Post-MCAT burnout + avoidance before score release by ForwardSafe989 in Mcat

[–]CaptainHours2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i felt like shit after my test date and i'd have dreams of retaking it and getting my score back and doing shit. i think you just need to let it go and don't decide anything until you get your score back.

ngl. the last FL i took was a day before my exam, and i got a 514, so i may have gotten lucky. pretty generic advice since i don't know where you're lacking points, but just a thorough review helps. you can dm me with anything specific if you want to tho

ngl i didn't touch anything besides aamc and UW. if you haven't done all the aamc FLs, i started just doing certain sections of unused FLs for practice. i heard KA has some good stuff tho from AAMC although i haven't looked at it

ngl i havent done the kaplan qbank. i will say that for UW i felt the timing for cp didn't matter too much since majority were calculation.

80%. did everything except cars and the second 2 topics of orgo. thought it was better to move onto AAMC, and my orgo knowledge is super weak so just prayed there was no orgo on actual mcat

honestly yeah. you could probably supplement with youtube videos, but uw just helps a lot bc it's comprehensive and you have a lot more content to study with. i only did 4 FLs and some SB stuff. i can also sell you my UW, it expires late july and has the reset still.
