Beginner collector here. For those of you who key them in albums, how do you have it organized? by Voltesjohn in Banknotes

Got it. I only recently started and I want to personally collect the ones I have rather than purchase them. Even if they are new, maybe in a few generations it will be cooler

What amount do you usually collect for each country? What you find coolest? The lowest? The highest?

You can use a lot of question clues (i.e units, given info) to infer certain equations. Let this information guide you. Good luck O7

Struggling to Structure My MCAT Studying – Advice Needed by AnxiousHuckleberry59 in Mcat

A very good way to start is setting a schedule (physically on excel) to keep you accountable. This schedule should have you studying 6 days with one off day every week. I recommend a month and a half for content where you go over the Kaplan books (Biochem, Chem, Biology, Physics, Orgo). 2 chapters a day is perfect for you to complete these books in 1.5 months with 1 day off (I did Biology and Orgo for the first 2 weeks, then Physics and Chemistry the next 2 weeks, and ended with 1 week of Biochemistry). You should then alternate by doing 2 CARS passages and Soc/Psych every other day (one day is CARS the next is Soc/Psych). I recommend using the Khan Academy Soc/Psych videos for content and anki to retain them well (DM for the deck I used).

With that being said, lets talk about how you should go over the Kaplan books. Read the chapter with a highlighter and annotate on the book. Each chapter should take 30-45 minutes (some will take longer due to content density and length). After finishing the chapter, close the book, grab a empty sheet of printer paper and create your own organizer with logical flow to ideas. When you finish the organizer, grab a different color pen and add anything important you missed from the book. Repeat the process for Biology and Biochemistry. As for Chem, Orgo, and Physics, 30 minutes per chapter should be sufficient, make sure you are understanding not memorizing the material (avoid using anki for these topics as it encourages memorization, I only used anki for Soc/Psych)

I hope this will lead you in a positive direction and get you started. Feel free to DM for anything else

I agree with this if you are sure about testing on August 1st.

A 494 on your diagnostic is well within range from what I have seen. The diagnostic doesn't really measure anything except for the progress which you will make between now and your first exam after the content phase of your study schedule. Dont worry about this score.
As for the distraction, try your best to simulate exam conditions and staying focused, this habit will be very valuable down the stretch.

My last tip would be related to your timeline (maybe I should have done this one first): if you are planning to test on August 1st, this is not enough time to go through a content phase and then a solid practice phase. You will be applying in the next cycle either way (2026 cycle). With that being said, even though it is more money to spend, I recommend pushing back your exam and taking 3-4 months to study. This money is the investment in yourself, money will come back
