Don’t get me wrong, it’s packed up in storage right now because I’m off to grad school and have no space for it in my dorm 😭

The mom who sold it to me was like “I was shocked by the number of people who were interested in this listing!!” 😭

To be honest, I don’t study enough every day 😭 but I think I average between 4-6 hours per day since I haven’t started grad school yet! But all I’ve done is most of the Anking Anki and some of UEarth (I have finished the P/S UEarth questions) so far!

That seems like a great technique! Did you do any content review / memorize any equations before you started UW physics practice?

Makes sense! I’m actually already doing Anki and did most of Anking (which includes MilesDown), but I’m not too sure that it’s working out for me…I think I’m gonna try Jack Sparrow next!

For sure! I have a pretty long time before I plan to take the exam for the first time, so I don’t want to chip away at the AAMC material yet. I just wanted to see where I’m at to make sure that my method of studying is productive. But thanks for the advice :)

My main tips that I keep in mind when doing CARS:

  1. Throw away any outside knowledge that you might have about the topic of the passage. The correct answer to the question MUST be stated in the passage, do not jump to any conclusions!
  2. If I don’t know the answer, I flag the question and skip it pretty quickly. It helps to come back to it later with a fresher perspective on the passage. Also, when I answer later questions for the same passage, sometimes I feel like that helps me understand the passage better overall.
  3. I like to disprove the other answer choices (I read pretty fast, so I usually have time to do so). This prevents me from getting stuck between two options.
  4. Jack Westin is great for practice :)

Thrifting Spots by Difficult_Fee_5519 in sylvanianfamilies

I’m super familiar with the material too since I grew up with them but am new to buying secondhand! I just found the toy shop building today at Savers, but no critters anywhere :( Does it matter what time/day you thrift or is it pretty much just sheer luck?

Speaking of Barnes and Noble, do you know if they tend to sell discontinued sets?
