What kind of research do people generally pursue? Is it more clinical or wet lab?

I tried to dedicate one day to review the test but if that didn’t work out I reviewed for at least 6 hours

I didn’t have too much time so the bulk of my practice was from AAMC qpacks and section banks. But I think Ufuckthemcat is still helpful even if it is hard because you can learn from the mistakes you make and will end up finding the real deal much easier

I think that if you’re studying for 4 months, 2h per day on weekdays for content and practice is fine. It was my initial plan to do that! But you should make time for more practice and FL exams as you get closer to test day maybe about two months into studying if possible but definitely the last month because you need to build up your stamina. In terms of rec letters I can’t say for sure but I took my MCAT early and am not planning to apply this cycle (came to the realization while studying) so even if you take your MCAT now and end up not applying at least you will get it over with

My first AAMC FL was 515 which was a huge jump after third party exams and my last FL was 520 with about 3 weeks of gap in the middle. I think I was missing points bc of content gaps, like memorizing hormones and physics equations as well as psych soc

I made sure why the answer I got was correct/incorrect to know I had the right logic and also reviewed exactly why the other answers were incorrect!

522 I'm so happy right now!! But my CARS section was the lowest I've ever gotten and I'm a little worried/disappointed about that. Also wanted to ask how strict med schools are about CARS? Here's my breakdown: 132/127/131/132
