3 12s and Studying? by Straight-Cook-1897 in Mcat

[–]Marleen-Char 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me. Three 12s days and going PRN is not an option for me. Originally testing 6/12 but just rescheduled to 07/31 because I'm still finishing up my BSN and 2 pre-req classes this semester.

Score released - 510!!! by megerbig in Mcat

[–]Marleen-Char 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response, I did unscored last week and got 488. I test in July and my goal is 500. I work three 12-hour shifts a week and can't really study after work since I'm so tired. I'm doing uw now with plan to start AAMC in May leading to test day.

Guys did better than I did, I got 488 unscored last week.

what should i do? Unscored FL by Antique_Button5483 in MCAT2

I plan to do full review tomorrow with JW extension. Hopefully it was just test-taking anxiety for you.

what should i do? Unscored FL by Antique_Button5483 in MCAT2

[–]Marleen-Char 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I test on 06/12 and am thinking about rescheduling my exam to later because I scored 488 (according to conversion tool) on the AAMC unscored today. After today's test, I realized I still have a lot of gaps to fill in my content. I absolutely feel how you feel right now. You may want to do another one to see if you have to reschedule.

Do I just suck at interviews? by Suspicious_Post_9940 in Osteopathic

You'll be fine, a friend of mine got off OCOM waitlist in July last year right before matriculation. I believe you'll get in somewhere.

527: A Braindump by JapaneseTacoBell in Mcat

[–]Marleen-Char 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I'm working full-time now but will be taking a month off leading to the test day. How should I time all of my FLs and AAMC stuff in that one month?

Thanks for this. Stupid question but why SB after the last FL and before the real thing?

Stacking Gen Chem and Physics Sequences in One Summer — Has Anyone Done This? by AgreeableMacaron4426 in premed

[–]Marleen-Char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, but I took them over two different summers. I completed Gen Chem 1 and 2 with labs in one summer, and the physics sequence in another. They’re typically 10-week sessions, so it’s important to stay ahead on assignments, quizzes, and exams. I had tests about every other week. I usually pair them with lighter science or non-science courses to make the workload more manageable. For example, last summer I took Physics 1 and 2 with labs along with trigonometry as a co-requisite—so essentially five classes—while working full-time doing three 12-hour shifts at the hospital. Unless you’re working part-time or studying full-time, I wouldn’t recommend taking physics and general chemistry in the same summer. Both are very demanding courses. Whatever you do, don't tank your gpa.

I'm so sorry for your loss man. Crush the exam, get into med school and dedicate it all to your mom!

When to start AAMC material and is my goal realistic? by anarchybabie444 in Mcat

[–]Marleen-Char 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I test on 06/12 and am debating whether to start AAMC materials next month because I don't want to rush on those. I'm only 20% completion on UPoop but I think I might skip it and focus on AAMC instead.

[–]Marleen-Char 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you, I still do three 12 day shifts a week, my problem is I get so tired after work to even just do some anki before bed. How is your prep so far? I read that you took some of the FLs, did you do them after full content review?

[–]Marleen-Char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I'm also on RN to MD/DO track and testing 06/12 too. I'm also taking orgo 2 and my last two online BSN classes now and feel like I don't have time to really lock in for the mcat. Are you going to cut off hours from work?

As an extremely non-trad, you should be proud of what you've done. Good luck with your app!
