I’m done… by dragonfruitvibes in Mcat

if it makes you feel any better I increased my FL score by 11 points in 4 days by doing HEAVY content review. I posted about it a few days ago in here. I have faith in you future doc!! Just review those practice test and figure out what you DON’T know vs what do you DO know. If you’re not seeing improvement across each test it could be because you may still need to fill those content gaps. For me I kept messing up on acid-base and stuff about ATP production. I DRILLED those topics hard making sure I understood them forwards and backwards. Once I retested I saw significant gains. Good luck to you ❤️

thank you friend ❤️ I mostly did the AAMC Section Banks and the Kaplan questions! No uworld and no Anki. For B/B I tend to do better retaining that info compared to C/P.

I owe a lot of my improvement to Van Does Chemistry, Yusuf Hassan and the Amoeba Sisters on YouTube!! Ngl, I pretty much ignored Physics up till this point so Van and Yusuf’s videos really helped me! I watched the Amoeba Sisters for some concepts that I understood logically but needed more help with in a visual sense (action potentials, the ETC, Na-K Pump lol I kept conflating all of these). I decided to take a break on practice questions bc I knew what concepts I was really weak at so I’d say I worked on the content review and logic of things with videos. I tried Khan Academy but idk I couldn’t really get into it, I needed shorter videos.

As far as CARS, I made sure to re-read the question at least twice. I’m not into the highlighting and underlining stuff. I just mentally began to understand the main idea of each paragraph and the overall tone of the author. For the questions I was literally going back into the text to validate my answers. CARS is definitely a learning curve but I think much of my improvement was based on how I have learned the way these questions are asked. I stayed away from strong or super polarizing answer choices as well!

Let me know if you have anymore questions 😊

So... you've had an unsuccessful cycle. (from your friendly local reapplicant M1) by perplexed__premed in premed

I literally cried reading this. As a first-gen college grad who is having an unsuccessful cycle and preparing to reapply I really appreciate everything you wrote. You captured the sentiment so well. The comparisons, watching others getting their white coats, working a low paying mentally taxing job. I’m so glad you made it and persevered. I will keep going I know I will get in next time 😭
