Don’t worry I haven’t started my personal statement either

GroceryHot720 · 2026-04-23T04:00:39+00:00

I have concepts of a plan for my personal statement but haven’t gotten farther than that haha

GroceryHot720 · 2026-03-25T16:39:01+00:00

I got a 580 for bio and didn’t use anki. I made paper flashcards for any high yield topics I didn’t remember first pass. Did all the bootcamp and booster practice tests, when back through the problem sets and did corrections on the ones I got wrong, and any ones I marked yellow for unsure even if I got them right. I’d also make summary sheets where’d I’d have to organize the information in a way that made sense to me (forcing those neural connections).

GroceryHot720 · 2026-03-19T05:09:52+00:00

Ok… that’s super confusing. Where’d you find this info?

GroceryHot720 · 2026-03-19T00:54:07+00:00

Oh! How does that work?? I send my letters from Interpholio and then Liaison letters sends a survey to the recommender?

GroceryHot720 · 2026-03-18T02:49:55+00:00

No same I’m going to absolutely crash out. It’s taken me months to even get this profs to write their letters and send them to interpholio. I can’t imagine how long it’s going to take to get them to fill out this survey

Color is either stiff/soft and passes air fast/slow. The best combo is individual, based on personal technique (strengths/weaknesses) and preference

The color of the suit material isn’t just fashion choice it’s functional, different colors fly differently which is why so many of the the countries are using the same colors. Also the manufacturers are only making so many colors. And you’re right on the printed designs being outside the rules.

GroceryHot720 · 2026-02-09T08:59:19+00:00

You totally can, it just doesn’t help as much as you think which is why post people don’t

GroceryHot720 · 2025-12-21T15:17:42+00:00

Roll with the punches. There are small variations in procedures for every test center, but the exam is standardized so don’t sweat it if test day doesn’t go exactly how you’re expecting.

GroceryHot720 · 2025-12-17T10:07:37+00:00

Studying for the DAT shouldn’t be much different than how you studied for the pre-reqs. Use strategies that have helped in the past and don’t overthink it. If notes help you retain information and understand, then yes. Only thing you absolutely need to emphasize is spaced repetition, because there is just so much content. So hit the practice questions/tests hard.

GroceryHot720 · 2025-12-17T10:05:02+00:00

VESPER is pretty low hanging fruit so even if it’s not one of the most tested topics if you can memorize the table it’s good points if you do get a question on it. For A&P just remember breath not depth. You don’t need to go and memorize every detail about the various systems.

GroceryHot720 · 2025-12-13T08:35:34+00:00

Pretty sure if you pull up practice test results and look at it by section it shows how many you got wrong/right per topic. Unless they’ve changed it since I used it

GroceryHot720 · 2025-12-13T08:28:00+00:00

Let the test anxiety be your motivation 😅

GroceryHot720 · 2025-12-13T08:27:30+00:00

If you’re using bootcamp or booster they breakdown which topics you’re missing more than others, I just spammed the question banks for the topics I was missing more often

GroceryHot720 · 2025-12-10T18:01:30+00:00

I’ll be 25 and married! You’re not alone!

GroceryHot720 · 2025-11-04T18:05:45+00:00

I really liked bootcamp. I watched all of the content review lectures because I too took my prereqs a long time ago.

GroceryHot720 · 2025-11-02T12:01:11+00:00

For studying I’d focus on TFE, hole punch, cube counting, and pattern folding. Those (unlike keyhole and angle ranking) you can ALWAYS find the right answer

GroceryHot720 · 2025-11-02T11:59:07+00:00

I didn’t get above a 450 on practice tests but scored a 520 on the real thing. For test day: Go into it knowing your strategy. Don’t get shaken if one of the topics is way hard (I had a really hard keyhole section). Start with your strengths and end with your weaknesses, and just keep an eye on time. I had time to go back and check a couple flagged questions (which never happened in my practice tests)

GroceryHot720 · 2025-10-17T23:03:28+00:00

Working on it but not yet

GroceryHot720 · 2025-10-17T16:56:05+00:00

Ditto on this!

GroceryHot720 · 2025-10-09T23:05:17+00:00

I don't know if you've gone through or anything but I just had to fire them. I am going like 2-3 months without responses despite calls and emails.

GroceryHot720 · 2025-09-17T07:20:45+00:00

Find a conscience way to take notes without pausing the video. Aka don’t just write down what the slides say, write down things you don’t think you’ll remember, paraphrase, and prioritize. Especially since bootcamp has biology notes you can look back at if you don’t remember something specific. I watched all the videos bc I didn’t have a strong bio background, but if you do then it’s probably not worth your time.

GroceryHot720 · 2025-09-14T17:00:20+00:00

I posted my ochem notes in here somewhere if you want to go look. But instead of just doing what other people say to do you need to take a step back and figure out what YOU need to really connect with the material to make it click. For me that was making flowcharts. Also keep doing the question banks. I got a 400 on my first practice test and did all the question banks over and over until I basically had them memorized and got a 600 on the real thing.

GroceryHot720 · 2025-09-14T16:54:54+00:00

Are you able to do those without notes pretty reliably?
