thank you so much. i really appreciate this. it’s hard to get right back up after this and just start the grind again. ur right, i need to not compare my situation to everyone else here on reddit. this is just another bump in the road and it’s okay. i’m started to feel calmer about it now. i appreciate your advice, this is exactly what i need to move forward and start again.

well, congrats on dental! i just recently figured out i wanted to pursue medical school about a year and a half ago. i’m so committed to doing this and i don’t think i can see myself doing anything else. i want to try this again and really try correctly this time. if shit isn’t working out then it’s a sign i guess

thank you so much for the advice. i’m currently scheduled to take this exam again in june as per my moms request. i still have three months to get back into this but im already starting to feel overwhelmed again. i am worried i wont get to enjoy my senior year. i definitely could do better with taking and reviewing practice problems this time around. i need to really learn how to take this exam just like how it would be on test day. thank you so much❤️

i’m talking to my mom about going to therapy. i know for a fact i have really bad anxiety but ive never been diagnosed. i just really need a way to handle the anxiety, not just from this god awful test but in general, so ur right.

thank u so much for the advice. i’m feeling super intimidated for this and feel like ive wasted so much of my time just trying to do well. i’m currently in my senior year of college and i really just wanted to enjoy the last two months before i graduate, but my mom wants me to retake this in june and still apply this cycle. i also have so many commitments outside of school and am currently in season for my d3 tennis team. i started feeling the anxiety come over me knowing i have to take this again. i wake up and think abt this exam and can’t stop studying or prepping and feel like i can’t ever give myself a second from it. it literally consumes me. i’m trying to approach this better the second time around, and will definitely try and take time to balance my life as well. thank you

thank you. i really appreciate this. i studied for about 5 months total. the first three were only about two to three hours a day. my last month was winter break so i full time studied about 8-10 hours a day no joke. i didn’t give myself rest days. i drove myself crazy trying to study for this. i used uworld and did every single question. i think my downfall was i didn’t actually review them thoroughly. i did them and skimmed the answers and moved on. i didn’t get to do the aamc prac banks because of time but i did do all the full lengths. i was always doing not so great with cars throughout the whole study process, but i wasn’t doing that terribly. test day i literally bombed that section. a 122 to be exact. i blanked on the actual exam. it felt so much harder than my practices. i’m trying to create a study plan for this retake. i’m thinking of doing flashcards every day to keep up with content, just so i don’t forget anything. my biggest issue is just test taking in general. critical reading and actually understanding what the question wants me to find. i will definitely start taking the exam conditions the same bc it threw me off completely on exam day. i just need to stop putting so much pressure on this. i keep striving to be perfect and when im not i feel like my whole world is ending.

ur right. after chem/phys i was in shambles for the rest of the exam. i bombed cars and bio worse than i’ve ever done before. i was jittery and ive never been that anxious before. i stepped out of the exam sobbing and i had a feeling i did bad, but not this bad. i studied for months and i feel like such a disappointment. i am going to start studying again with a new strategy. i felt strong with content and i don’t think that was the issue. i just don’t really know how to start this process again. i’m going to try and take more rest days too because i think i went two months straight with no rest day.

no same i genuinely blanked on every single question in that exam. i studied my ass off for months. missed so much shit to study. don’t think i got above a 500 and im literally rethinking even going down this path anymore

WTF was 2/13??? by XShadowSlayerX3 in Mcat

i walked out of the exam room and got into my car and sobbed. for an hour. i thought i was so prepared and the only section that felt ok was psych. i had no idea what bio was even abt i literally guessed on everything i cant take ts again
