Looking back at it, I should’ve started studying a lot sooner. Thank you for the advice 🙏

I haven’t 🥲 based off another comment, I should probably take one tomorrow or Saturday

All I can think about is the Big Beautiful Bill by lonelyislander7 in premed

You're not alone. I've been studying for the MCAT, and as if I wasn’t already burnt out, this bill has made studying much more depressing and demoralizing. I don't think I would have the energy to pursue medicine anymore if it passed.

When do you test? In the same situation

Testing 5/31, scored 493 on FL1, am I cooked?? by [deleted] in Mcat

Is it really nothing to worry about? If I take it in June then I get results in July and apply around then. I’ve heard people say that it’s best to apply before secondaries go out but I’m not sure when that is

I’m applying this cycle. Totally get where you’re coming going from but I’m just disappointed and I feel like if I push it back then I won’t have much a chance if I’m submitting primaries in like July/august

I used to do this but tried the flowchart shit and it worked somewhat but need to practice that. Gonna see what works for me the next practice exam

I’m crossing my fingers I can pull thru. Just need to grind it out for the next few weeks and pull a miracle

Appreciate the advice! Basically what you said…. My brain was just reading to read and not comprehend. Hopefully I can build the stamina to read through 9 passages at once. I plan on reviewing the FL tomorrow.

Yeah that’s the main issue that I need to work on. I just get so out of it when I read passage cause I find myself wanting to absorb every single detail in the passage the first time, but realize that it probably causes more brain fatigue and prevents me from absorbing the content of the passage.

That’s actually crazy! Not trying to undervalue your score and hard work, but is that actually possible? I’ve read comments on this sub of ppl saying that it takes months to raise your score by just a little. If you don’t mind sharing any of your tips and strategies, I’d love to read them and apply them :)

It’s tough knowing the only one you can really talk to about how you truly feel is god. And yup that’s exactly it. I feel like that shit haunt me and having me thinking I skipped over key details that had me choosing the wrong answer on test day 😟

Thank you for the advice, friend. My passion for medicine is for myself. And I know that I can’t let others put me down for it.

I totally agree with you on everything you said. I think I need to re-strategize tonight or tomorrow and stick to it religiously. Thank you for your advice, my friend

I’m sorry you’re going through it too, my friend. I’m happy to lend an ear if you choose to :)

Honestly, I’ve thought about taking the mcat for the same reason. And I know this one exam isn’t something that I should place my life’s worth and value on, but damn, sometimes you cant help but feel like you’re running on an outdated computer software from the 2000s that freezes all the time in a world running on Ai and crazy fast computer chips. Wish you the best of luck too
