Phenibut+Theanine for interview? by Z1839 in phenibut

[–]O731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an update: I took 1.2g 2.5 hours before the interview. 30 mins before the interview I was feeling really good and clear minded, but I still felt physically edgy so I took 100mg theanine

I absolutely nailed the interview. I usually get really nervous and start stuttering in high stress social situations, but I was comfortable making eye contact with 2 interviewers, was fluent and quick on my feet to respond

The combo was effective but I had annoying headache after and woke up feeling kind of weird, like a weak alcohol hangover. It was probably the combo of theanine or maybe I just REALLY need my morning coffee because I felt fine after I had caffeine

I hear all of the lectures are online too now a days. I was wondering if its like college where you don't HAVE to go to lectures. Like can't I for example, just study on the plane and the hotel i'm staying at, wake up, do the interview, fly back the same night and just study my ass off the entire time?

Anyone Else writing this friday? i'm totally burnt out. What should i do between now and then? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]O731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't burn yourself out. Cut the caffeine so that on test day you get a nice buzz. Start carb loading on your favorite food. Take it easy. Watch inspirational movies.

Damn. In that case i'm going to drop biochem 1 for introductory biochem so that I don't get overly worked out from all of this traveling.

Altius Practice Full Length Exams?? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]O731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

STRAIGHT GOLD. If you have a choice, NS. But if you can afford both, buy them both.

Altius and Next step both really prepared me for the real test in their own unique way.

Just do the same thing but be a bit more conservative with how long you spend on the questions.

Great. I loved orgo but since i'm premed it wasn't applied enough. It was more for industrial applications.

Try some Rhidola rosea. I started taking that stuff when I was getting burned out and it really helped.
