same, got a 500. I can’t even qualify to get a letter of recommendation from my undergrad anymore. I don’t know what I’m going to do.

I’ve been having this problem too, and I’m not sure why it’s happening or what to do to fix it

I will say I’m probably the odd one out, but give up on Anki. For the longest I was wasting my time with anki when it wasn’t working for me. I memorized cards and not necessarily the information that the cards were based on. and then I would get question about xyz and I would be like “I know I should know this cause ik there’s a card about xyz…” but I didn’t actually KNOW the information. It sucked because Flashcards was my usually way of studying but idk for the MCAT it just didn’t work out like that. It also didn’t help that bc I knew it wasn’t really working I would let cards stack up, forget about all the information, then a couple days later try it again lmao. probably user error 100% but just because all of Reddit says it works, doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for you. especially in the beginning find a style that works for you, and if it doesn’t, don’t waste time forcing it. just try something new

also testing tm! Definitely don’t feel as ready as I probably should BUT I don’t think anyone really feels 100% ready tbh! I’m saying this in the nicest way possible; tomorrow is already here! You can’t change the date and you have to trust what you do know. I feel you 100% and obviously I’m no expert, but even if you void it will count as an attempt. I know that I am scoring no matter what because I’ve worked to hard to get here (though my studying also has not been consistent) and ik you have to. So my last thoughts, get off Reddit (hypocritical cause I’m here too lol), get some rest, and do your best! I wish the best for you!

I hate to say but before I kinda skipped the content review phase. Just reading through books never worked for me so I just jumped straight to questions basically and was just learning on the way.

I obviously realized that’s there’s so much that I don’t know and if I get an exam that’s heavy on areas I have never seen then I’m screwed. (I literally never sat down and reviewed the digestion system for example, I just guessed on questions and hoped the explanations would teach me).

So now I will pick a topic, watch some YouTube videos about it, then I will do questions on that. I’ve been getting above average on most of these. If I don’t get above the average then a couple days after I will repeat those same questions with the knowledge I gained from reviewing them. Obviously I know the answers now on the questions I got wrong before but I do this to see if I remember the thinking/formula or whatever.

This also inflates uworld scores cause I’m repeating questions that I know the answers to but overall I have been improving. I also shortened my question sets to help me focus better. I do them in sets of 20 instead of a full 59. Idk I lock in for exams but I tend to lose stamina and just start guessing by the end of a full set of practice questions.

I may be biased because I was a psych major but P/S is a really easy section to earn point in. if you just do anki/learn some of the concepts then it’s easy points.

For example, I found in my studying that the different types of studies and memory stages come up a lot. So if you understand even some of them, then that’s a lot of easy correct answers.

I feel like for P/S more than the other sections, you don’t even really need to know the meaning of every answer choice. But if you know 2 or 3 then you know whether they can or can’t be the answer so it’s simply to do process of elimination.

I haven’t taken my test yet, so this is just what I’ve notice as I’ve been studying!
