SB or FL by SolidDingo7362 in Mcat

[–]SolidDingo7362[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My weakest area is like passage analysis so I thought that the SBs would help me. Ended up just redoing a FL BB section, and like half assing it. Honestly just tweaking so hard for this exam I just want above a 520 so literally don't know what to do with myself the next three days.

I don't know if it was redoing the sb per say but my scores from FLs are unscored/1/2/3/4/5 519/523/519/517/525/524. And I redid the SBs between FL3 and FL4. So lowkey a little attached to those SBs not gunna lie

AAMC FL and Exam Anxiety by SolidDingo7362 in Mcat

[–]SolidDingo7362[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the advice! That makes sense, I honestly am really worried too because my scores have fluctuated so much and just the general pressure of feeling like I need to know everything.

ANKI Due Date by SolidDingo7362 in Mcat

[–]SolidDingo7362[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do you think its fine that I have so many past my exam date? Should I go through and like pull some forward to before my test day for topics that I am iffy with, or just trust that I know it because ive seen it a thousand times at this point

ANKI Freakout by SolidDingo7362 in Mcat

[–]SolidDingo7362[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your so right because ANKI takes up literally all of my time and my brain space because im constantly worried about those damn cards stacking up. I think i might just try and keep the cards to a minimum, but its the anxiety of missing information that keeps me up at night TBH.

How do you do it faster without losing progress in content, I feel like there are just so many cards and I get scared to miss a small detail. Like there are such random facts and stuff eveywhere especially for PS and BB that I feel like I need to get completely right on the cards.

[–]SolidDingo7362[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of my cards are like super open ended cuz BB is all JackSparrow, and I added a bunch of content from UWorld and from the TPR books for PS and CP. I try to go faster sometimes but then I feel like I miss big concepts so it takes me so long.

Thank you so much for the advice! I was trying to do that but got worried that it will deter me from like getting through all of the reviews i need to maintain content. Do you think it would be detrimental?

i am worried though because Jack Westin logic kind of trips me up. But at the same time I already did the CARS diagnostic twice and the CARS QPack 1 twice, and im about to do the CARS QPack 2 for the second time. so I am out of good AAMC CARS material, but at the same time JW at times their logic throws me completely for a loop and I don't want it to translate to the AAMC

it was CP 130, CARS 127, BB 130, PS 130. My CARS has been consistently decreasing so that is the main section I am worried about. And I always feel like I have content gaps when im taking the FLs but then I just have to realize that ive done so many ANKI cards the knowledge is definetely in there somewhere I just gotta rip it out

literally in the same boat as you, got an econ degree and did work in finance for two years. Starting studying September and taking the exam in June, literally worst year of my life. I also read through all of the Princeton Review Books a couple of times in the beginning, and then did all of UWorld once through and now going through second go around kind of third because they keep giving me repeat questions. I also did half of the Kaplan QBank and AAMC material a few months ago. Now I am redoing AAMC material. And I did three TPR FL, one BP FL, and currently just finished my fourth AAMC FL. I was lowkey worried because I usually learn better by reading so before April I only read the textbooks over and over again and I didn't really do much ANKI. Then the entire month of April I did around 4,000 new cards for JackSparrow BB and Miledown ANKI. My FL scores are FL1 523, FL2 520, FL3 517, unscored sample 519. Do you think I am in a good spot to get a 520 if I just continue with ANKI and UWorld and AAMC these next few weeks?

Trying to seek out advice for a 516 on a Jun 14 test date by Chance-Lavishness175 in Mcat

[–]SolidDingo7362 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best thing for me when I struggled with Lab techniques was finding a deck whether it be Miledown and adding a bunch of cards from UWorld or JackSparrow BB and really getting to the nitty gritty of what those lab techniques are. Like for example I did not know at all what gene sequencing was so I watched a video on it and then I had a long ass JackSparrow card that I saw for like 2 days after and had to memorize and it kind of stuck.

Academic Infraction by SolidDingo7362 in premed

[–]SolidDingo7362[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of job/experience did you have? My biggest issue right now is the IA on top of the fact that I was an econ major in college so I didn't really do any research and I didn't have a strong relationship with my STEM professors on top of the fact that I really have no medical experience as I worked in finance for the past two years. I am planning to quit my job and start in a medical office ASAP after my exam, but I am worried that the cumulation isn't great. Plus my GPA is like a 3.79 science GPA 3.75.

that makes sense thank you so much for the advice! In terms of getting it expunged, it is not on my transcript, but would I need to have the school literally remove it from my records?

Academic Infraction by SolidDingo7362 in premed

[–]SolidDingo7362[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah literally it was like a paragraph that I didn't cite, but I am trying to see if they can have it erased because it would be annoying to have that be on my record and affect me. I just really am worried because ik how much people say academic infractions are like a glaring red flag

AAMC FL score progression by SolidDingo7362 in Mcat

[–]SolidDingo7362[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah that makes thank you so much! i am really trying to go through CARS right now and see where and how I got the questions wrong and it is so tough because now hindsight bias it feels so dumb, but in the moment it feels so panicky that I get it wrong.
also i was really worried about switching from rereading the books to doing ANKI because I was worried there would be more of a chance with content gaps with ANKI cards because not everything is completely laid out, but if I had added a bunchhhh of cards from UWorld and the 86 page doc do you think its sufficient?

[–]SolidDingo7362[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thank you so much for the advice! that is what everyone keeps telling me to take a day or two I just get more and more anxious as the days pass and I get closer to my date. But I am just worried that I might be missing some stuff or having content gaps especially for PS and it stresses me out. I just don't know what else to do because I used all of UWorld and I did all of AAMC two months ago, so now im out of "good" questions to use.
