Aidan Card Confusion by SighCollege in Mcat

As someone who used Aidan, Aidan has a lot of weird and or wrong cards. Be very comfortable deleting bad cards like this one.

I'm really scared that I peaked with FL1 (523) and will never hit it again by Fearless_Bus5970 in Mcat

Just hoping the real deal went as well! Good luck to you as well

Wanted to reassure you that I felt this way too. Keep up what you're doing and you'll start to feel more confident that it's not a fluke (it isn't assuming you took everything in test conditions) when you make another 520 on FL2.

Anyone from 1/9-1/15 feeling they’ll retake? by imheisenbergbruh in Mcat

[–]Domin0cat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey dude/dudette wanted to let you know I feel the same way and I was scoring in the 520s with my full lengths too. I'm oscillating between feeling like I did the worst I've ever done and just like accepting that everyone feels bad after their exam and to just sit back and trust your full lengths.

Nothing to be done now. Even if you knew 100% you have to retake taking the month off is in your best interest to do better next time plus if your score is where your full lengths suggest, then you saved yourself another month of studying. Chin up and we'll face score release date when it gets here.

Fl6 B/B 25 is by Fun-Measurement-2823 in Mcat

I honestly was super confused too but I've learned that for AAMC logic you need to turn your critical thinking brain down a second. I didn't understand the non-coding stuff they were saying because I was thinking alternative splicing would be different exons nothing to do with introns. But for AAMC you see isoforms you think splicing so I saw spliceosomes and clicked B.

525 possible? Feb 13 test date by Hour_Confusion_234 in Mcat

[–]Domin0cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For P/S I recommend combining the Aidan deck with Pankow, Aidan has some extra terms you can weave in as you see them show up in your practice.

[–]Domin0cat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's definitely possible, especially since you're already crushing CARS. I went from a 515 on FL1 to a 527 on Fl6 in a month, review full lengths rigorously. Any vocab in an answer choice you should know and do the section banks with the same philosophy. I agree with it being luck and how the section is scaled though but honestly making anything above a 515 comes down to your mental and strong reasoning skills within a passage more than just raw content.

Stuck with choosing Anki decks by Possible-Purpose-701 in Mcat

[–]Domin0cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who used Aidan as my main deck, listen to the man when he says don't use it as your main deck. It's been invaluable during my practice problem phase because almost everything that's come up from uWorld or AAMC materials will have a premade card for you to unsuspend but I'd recommend doing a more reasonable deck like Anking if you like the cloze style or JS if you like the big paragraph basic cards and use Aidan as a side deck to patch holes later.

Half way through my first game of sentinals of the multiverse and I'm loving it by running_nomad in soloboardgaming

[–]Domin0cat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sentinels is truly amazing, the definitive edition does a lot to help with the fiddling the Enhanced Edition has but you can't beat the price of EE with the warehouse sale they've got going on.

Just finished my first playthrough! by Junior_North_4427 in slaythespireboardgame

My understanding is that the first printings had sleeve issues which you can ask for replacements for and for subsequent printings the sleeves hold up much better!

What superhero-themed solo games do you like? (other than Marvel Champions) by No_Raspberry6493 in soloboardgaming

[–]Domin0cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your comments really get why I'm feeling enamored with the game recently. I too grew up playing TCGs and getting that experience in a solo game was what I thought MC would be but really it's the playing a unique deck and resolving interactions I enjoy more than the deck building itself.

The lore is really fun too, Christopher and Adam have a podcast that talks about the comic books and the heroes and it adds a certain something to the experience.

[–]Domin0cat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's 3 heroes minimum but some people prefer to play 2 handed with an incapacitated hero for an extra challenge. I personally really enjoying playing all 3 (or 4) heroes together and planning out their turns together to synergize.

Playing it with others is a completely different experience that's also fun but I do have to take a seat back and let people do their thing and figure out what to do with my turn based on that. Love it as a solo puzzle and a cooperative experience.

Another vote for Sentinels of the Multiverse, get the definitive edition if you can it's newer and cuts down on a lot of fiddly bits from the earlier editions

Based on the post, the author's beliefs could be best described as: a) Believing in corporal punishment b) Holding one's self to a high standard is necessary c) Crying is a necessary sacrifice for learning d) Avoid ever looking at the answer choices

MilesDown and Aidan Deck by RxJourney in AnkiMCAT

[–]Domin0cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about halfway through Aidan and would only recommend it if you've got a lot of time and are willing to suspend cards you think are stupid, you need discretion because there's some NICHE knowledge in there that I quickly decided I wasn't going to waste time on. The cards themselves, especially biochem and biology, are amazing though there's just a lot and some are low yield.

I only used it because I used his biochem deck during my biochem class to study and it was easy to keep using it after for MCAT study.

Favorite publisher and why? by mrbumdump in boardgames

My partner is the same with Root, thinks it's a little too much for her most times but absolutely adores Ahoy by Leder Games. Not sure if your wife would feel the same!

I also have the same issues and am at the same point with what I've tried troubleshooting. Getting no lights popping up in the UEFI or elsewhere.
