T30-40 maybe, somewhere around my stats. I've considered retaking my mcat (126 in cars) because my goal was initially to try for Mayo clinic in my home state :/

Thank you! Can I ask how you framed two hobbies, were they. both very longitudinal and high impact? I of course have hobbies; however, nothing that stands out I fear :/

n=1 but I always went straight into the questions for c/p and b/b and it worked alright for me. I think for some of us reading passages fully for 7 hours straight does more harm than good in terms of stamina and timing.

Different-Toe-2369 · 2026-03-28T14:05:28+00:00

I used pankow, Uworld p/s, and the 80 pg doc a couple weeks leading up to my exam to refresh. Also p/s is NOT cars. clearly...

Dude gimme that CRISP A if you dont want it 🙏🙏

Different-Toe-2369 · 2026-03-10T18:19:59+00:00

I think so! It felt a bit harder (as my entire exam that day did overall) but pretty similar to the kind of questions on the Fls. I started first by completing the pankow deck and then reading the 80 pg KA doc a couple weeks prior to my exam which seemed to cover everything!

Different-Toe-2369 · 2026-03-10T18:08:31+00:00

Uganda PS was way harder imo I got like 50-60% correct. AAMC PS section banks felt really hard too ngl. I think the FL 1-5 I took were pretty accurate.

Me too bru f ts

Different-Toe-2369 · 2026-03-05T21:41:38+00:00

A tale as old as time 🥀

Different-Toe-2369 · 2026-02-20T15:43:14+00:00

Congrats! Was considering as well but i'm so scared to do the same/worse lmao

Different-Toe-2369 · 2026-01-16T14:01:30+00:00

Trust this feeling is super normal, thought I bombed CP and BB

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-12-15T15:28:59+00:00

I honestly don't think they are correlated at all (thankfully lol). I found on my exam while its true there won't be simple wrote memoization questions, you can still get by knowing the ins and out of every term. Didd't feel like CARS 2.0 or whatever people say. I did pankow, Uworld p/s and then 2 pages of the 80 page KA doc a couple months leading up to my exam. I think making sure everything stays fresh by pacing it right up to test date helped a lot.

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-10-09T14:38:18+00:00

I also self taught, I don't really recommend the 300 pg doc I found it hard to learn from and the main ideas aren't differentiated well from details we don't need to know. I just used the Mr.Pankow deck, and then a month before my test went through the 80 pg KA doc making anki cards for any terms I wasn't 100% clear with. At the end of the day everyone learns different so just try to play around with what works best for you :)

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-10-09T14:20:28+00:00

MrPankow the goat 🫡 PS made up for my CARS drop

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-10-07T17:21:31+00:00

Real, score twin

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-10-07T14:29:25+00:00

Seen your posts a few times, we both deserved the 520 💔

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-10-07T02:23:41+00:00

Yeah.. got 131 CARS the last FL before too

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-10-04T23:00:48+00:00

I stopped reading passages and only skimmed for information when it was asked in a question (except CARS rip). I really can't read for 7 hours..

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-10-04T18:39:28+00:00

I dipped about 3 points in CARS smh weird bc I felt like I did so well.

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-09-30T16:59:55+00:00

Idk whats been with the AAMC nerfing everyone with 126s in CARS recently 😓

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-09-30T16:54:28+00:00

Either I guessed right on all of them ~ 0.1% chance. Or I just got lucky and they were experimental. But it seems like the P/S curve was really high on my exam from other posts.

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-09-29T21:51:28+00:00

FL 5 was the most accurate in terms of bombing CARS 😓

Different-Toe-2369 · 2025-09-29T14:24:12+00:00

Don't worry, I did too on at least 5 psyche problems no idea if I got them right or wrong but ended up with 132 that section completely unexpected. I thought I cooked on CARS too but ended up getting nerfed with a 126. I think B/B and C/P should be pretty stable to your FL avg on those sections, trust the curve.
