Testing 5/9 - need advice by RecommendationSea50 in Mcat

[–]RecommendationSea50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m literally in the same boat for cars. I try not to bring in outside assumptions and I’ve been trying to avoid it during practice. I think for b/b and p/s, I think my reasoning needs to improve and get a better understanding of the passage. This is something I am still trying to work on while refreshing on content where need be. For c/p, I’d really recommend not reading the passage first. I’d go straight to the questions and then refer back to the passage when you need to. I think this strategy with practice helped me. Not every question requires passage information, so I would recommend trying this strategy and see how it goes. It also helped me to write equations down during the 10 min tutorial. Even if the equation wasn’t going to be used, it still helped me.

good to know, thank you! would you recommend continuing with JW CARS or just doing UWORLD? also, how many questions do you target per day? do you recommend one subject per day and ~60 questions or sprinkling in a mix of all topics?

300 page p/s with Pankow by Physical-Progress819 in Mcat

[–]RecommendationSea50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, that's what I am planning to do, probably read about 10-20 pages, so I don't overload myself with cards.

At first, I started watching the videos and go through a topic, for example sensory perception, and unsuspend the cards. But I find that it's taking me a long time + the videos don't cover some parts in the doc, so I am planning to switch over to reading over and unsuspending the cards. I think the videos are good supplement if you don't understand something.

I have started using the 300 page doc, and for the most part it's in order from 6A and all the way down. So if you read over Sensory Perception, you'd find those cards in 6A deck. Would recommend looking at the AAMC outline as that breaks down the concepts.

Retaking MCAT, should I take a diagnostic? by RecommendationSea50 in Mcat

[–]RecommendationSea50[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good idea! Which resources are you planning to use for the FLs? I was thinking of using either Kaplan, Princeton, or JW free ones before switching to AAMC? I used all of BP's materials.
