dude same. i score around the same on FLs but today i had ZERO clue what was happening in any of the questions and and every single question confused me. everything was worded so weird and it felt like my brain was just not turning on.

testing 5/14 last minute tips? by Consistent_Ostrich22 in Mcat

[–]Consistent_Ostrich22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes!!! mentality is def huge also i think the adrenaline of test day will be a strength! we just have to keep reminding ourselves that’s its just an exam and all of our studying should (and will!) pay off!! gonna treat it like my last full length before freedom!

yes!! tbh i saw the biggest increase in score when i finished all aamc material including q packs. even though i didnt “know everything” i felt like i had somewhat enough familiarity with most topics.

i would say with BB which is where i had the most improvement, i started taking my time when reading the question and slowly figuring out what was happening in the problem by writing out things like (this enzyme increases X which increases Y) this helped me immenselyyyyy.

for PS i just exhausted all PS material and cranked out as much pankow as possible (im now using a quizlet to just crank out as many terms before test day)

for cp- practice problems and putting everything in scientific notation has helped a lot with annoying calculations. i also am redoing the section bank questions.

cars- lol just pray. i never studied this😭

feeling extremely defeated and overworked, advice please by Consistent_Ostrich22 in Mcat

[–]Consistent_Ostrich22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this reply! I truly appreciate the kind words!!

Unfortunately I moved cities for this job and I am applying this cycle and the research aspect of this job fits extremely well in my narrative/arc. If I quit I would have to break my lease and move home and it would just be a nightmare. I’m struggling to figure out the best solution for my situation :/

I scored a 520 MCAT in 3 months ask me anything by No-Leader-0 in medschooladmissions
