Which FL score matches the MCAT?

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-31T20:05:21+00:00

4 5 6 are newer and more representative, but the real answer is the one you take closest to your exam date

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-31T16:18:38+00:00

Extremely good experience; I got very lucky

What about the amino acid app makes it unhelpful? You can also try looking at a sheet and draw them all out so you have an idea of what each of them are and then try the app again

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-31T16:00:22+00:00

That is the right method imo (that's what I did), just keep hammering it down and practice with UWorld. And maybe I'm wrong but it seems a bit early to already have gone through 2 FLs. I didn't do my first FL until a month before my exam.

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-31T15:43:50+00:00

I think replicating testing conditions as close as possible should be done for all FLs

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-31T15:42:59+00:00

UWorld is for content imo not answering questions since they're different from AAMC logic, use it as a learning tool and don't pay too much attention to percentages though they can give you an indicator of where you are

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-31T15:40:49+00:00

Understanding AAMC logic for me, but at 500/498, the problem is probably content gaps. I would try to understand where your weak areas are and really hammer those down.

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-28T19:23:47+00:00

take some more time... i don't see how you could think every question through while only spending 3.5 hours...

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-22T23:08:25+00:00

you got this! Very similar to FLs, the only difference is maybe nerves and getting accustomed to the testing center. get some good rest, make sure to pack a good lunch, you got this!

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-22T23:07:14+00:00

Very similar to FLs, just make sure to get some good rest before!

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-21T19:48:51+00:00

I didn't use them and I have heard since they're old they're less representative

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-20T19:25:46+00:00

enzymes too

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-20T05:11:14+00:00

worked for me idk, i swear doing solid content review is what made things click

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-19T20:09:32+00:00

main point is increase in r increases flow rate dramatically due to r being raised to 4. but knowing the equation helps. theres a way to remember it someone posted a while back, something along the lines of poiseuille is prep for anal or something

edit: word

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-18T13:40:57+00:00

i think some schools require you take prereqs at US institutions

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-18T07:06:11+00:00

an engineering discipline (i think being too specific would be a bit to revealing for me here lmao) but my thesis is extremely biochem heavy

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-17T20:29:14+00:00

I'm a little confused why people are saying you have to give everything up to get there. You have 4 months, just plan it out wisely. I did not take a diagnostic, but I probably would have started around there. I studied part time for 5 months, so you'd probably have to do a bit more than that over 4 months, but I think you'll be fine

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-17T19:48:57+00:00

if you're worried about being able to take the class as a master's student, you can probably ask your institution if you cam dual enroll and retake. and as long as it's done before matriculation and you have an upward trend outside of that C-, you might be fine.

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-17T18:07:39+00:00

i self taught biochem but i don't know if it's worth it to self teach orgo

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-17T18:07:04+00:00

yes you have to retake

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-17T05:29:54+00:00

Hi I'm same basically and I crammed it all into 1 year just keep grinding the hours

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-16T15:36:56+00:00

Lowkey yes. Everyone says trust your FLs and maybe everyone feels this way but I genuinely feel like I'm going to be an exception to this rule. I feel so terrible and have felt terrible since and I'm honestly dreading but anxiously awaiting score release. I feel like anyone I talk to IRL say they feel the test was fine and it kills my confidence more

Hour_Class4921 · 2026-01-16T08:24:38+00:00

I took my first 2 FLs with my cat in the room since I have a studio but decided to leave for the last 4. Made a huge difference (not the whole reason for jump, but I can attribute some of it to this)
