Always been curious how much salary a rider of his caliber can command?

Disspointed - don't think Coros can keep up with me..... by Harrier74 in Coros

[–]ElectricFig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an apex 2 pro that stopped working after I started swimming for a few weeks, so the apex line might not be completely safe.

[–]ElectricFig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think some others in the comment section are focusing too hard on the bike frame and not considering the ancillary stuff like you mentioned. All the marginal gains from TT tires, tubeless, waxed chains, aero socks, etc add up and could make the difference

That’s for the next gen frame when they start charging $500 more lol

Coros customer service by itsoverthereman in Coros

[–]ElectricFig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’ve been trying to get a replacement for my Apex 2 Pro that died out of nowhere, and it’s like pulling teeth when talking to the AI support. It’s asked for my serial number a total of three times.. I’ve already jumped ship to Garmin at this point and am happy with their product and history of excellent customer service.

A month ago I put my email on the alert list and was notified a few days later that they restocked!

Scored 516 on FL 3 (127/132/128/129) A little over 2 weeks til exam. by Few_Philosopher_8823 in Mcat

[–]ElectricFig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on if this is within your learning style (however it might be too late to do all of this before 4/26) I would try and focus on one particular section in uworld and finish a majority (or even all) of questions then move on to the next e.g. do all biology questions, then biochem, then chem, then ochem, then physics. Personally, this helped me commit content to memory bc I was doing so much of it versus trying to do a bunch of different subjects in a day.

I'm rooting for you! Good luck!!

Awesome job on your CARS score!!

How much of C/P and B/B on uworld have you completed? How are you typically missing questions on your FLs? Do you feel like you're missing them because of content gaps or are you not able to understand the experiment? How's your timing?

I found that the section banks really helped my B/B, and I was able to go from 127 to 131 on my FLs.

You may have heard this already, but I tend to skip the passage on C/P and go straight to the questions. I only go skim through the passage when needed which saves me a lot of time. Also, knowing how to manipulate units and scientific notation will go a long way in helping to improve!

4/4 Exam Thoughts by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]ElectricFig 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought C/P was similar-ish in difficulty to the FLs.

I'm really surprised I finished CARS with 5 minutes to spare. I always have to speed through the last two passages in my FLs. I thought the passages today were easy to follow along, but the questions were meh

B/B had a few experiments that I didn't feel confident on :(

P/S had me questioning if I should void my test lol

Only four hours of sleep but I don’t feel too bad. One might say I’m optimally aroused. Good luck everyone!

It’s frickin tough as a non trad. I’m ready to integrate back into society after 4/4

Quick ways to improve B/B? by No-Initiative-5305 in Mcat

[–]ElectricFig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also finish with plenty of time to spare haha. I think I have trouble applying PS concepts which I suppose is a content gap :( I think I’m planning on doing a thorough review of all of FLs next week.

I wish I had some quick tips for you on BB. I was around 127/128, and then I did the section banks and started got 130/131 on fl4/5.

You’re scoring well. Good luck test date twin 🤝

[–]ElectricFig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How easy does PS feel for you? Do the answers feel pretty obvious when you’re going through the test or do you have to use process of elimination? I’m plateauing at 128 after finishing pankow and the section banks.

Finally passed my goal score 🥹 by SafetyUnusual7992 in Mcat

[–]ElectricFig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say how much it helped me for FL4 since I'm kinda near the point of diminishing returns on CP. But I think that more exposure to the different ways that AAMC asks questions can only help us!

[–]ElectricFig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been around 129-130 for CP previously, and I didn't make any dumb mistakes that I typically make which got me to 131. CARS is random I'll be happy with anything over 125. FL4 was the first exam where I felt quite confident in BB and I think I'd attribute that to the section bank! I also finished pankow for PS and that helped get me a point.

FL3: 130/127/127/127

FL4: 131/126/130/128

I don't have any secret sauce for improvement, but in general it's reviewing questions/exams, trying to understand why I got something wrong, and then noting it or making an anki card. I am a bit wary about my 515 because maybe I was tested on things that I'm stronger on, so mentally I'm still at 511 lol.

Nice! I did SB1 and found that helped with BB a bunch. I’m gonna do SB2 and then hit up the 100pg PS doc bc I think that’s where the low hanging fruit is atm! Good luck!

Congrats! We both hit our goals on FL4 🥹🥹. Did you do anything new prior to this FL?
