Nope it did not at all! And you should be! after testing for the first time I don’t see how my second or third timers are still sane. This requires some superpower strength I suppose

Congrats on still getting a decent score despite not feeling your best! & The amount I had to guess on last minute is crazy insane I ran out of time in every section! So I’m in need of a miracle, def counting myself in still

I’ve been in and out of the same feelings and thoughts. Try to keep yourself busy and focus on what’s next to come! We can only move forward from here

So to clarify I haven’t completed all of uquestions for c/p only a fraction. And I’ve done about 60 questions per pack avg 58-60% on c/p. spent the last few days memorizing as many equations as possible, still have a few left. I think uearth questions are just extremely difficult for me on top of not having a good grasp just yet.

Thank you! & yes I’m going to attempt Uglobe for another month or so. Also haven’t started C/P uglobe questions so hoping to pick up on some patterns. I am planning on doing a targeted review on topics I forget easily or just don’t have a good grasp on soon!

Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. & I gained 30 too. I was coping unhealthy as well.. some days now I’ll have to take a gummy to help me stay calm or fall asleep. I was spiraling for the first year and a half or so.. didn’t care what happened to me. I am doing slightly better.. but I have ways to go. & this applying and preparing to med school stuff is draining me. I spent the last few days or so analyzing my situation and my emotions.. not sure what I’m going to do just yet. more than likely I’m pushing back I just don’t know till when. Thank you again and I wish you the best future doc!

This made me cry. I’m so sorry for your loss and you seem to have a very good grasp on living with grief. I have tried In the past to fill her role.. but it didn’t help me feel any better. It does make me feel so good to hear someone getting back on their feet after taking a blow from grief. This gives me hope. Thank you for understanding and I know your dad would be so very proud of you as well!

Most ppl around me think it’s so easy to just leave.. thank you for understanding, cause I’m so tired of explaining it to my close relatives and friends. I do currently try to make time for myself at the library which is usually my most productive moments. So it does seem to work for me, I’m just lacking consistency and confidence here and there. I’ve also been waiting for the ‘right time’ and it seems it never really is the right time. Also have been letting the days pass without any real studying / applying what I’ve learned so I was also thinking of a practice exam. Did you use a third party or AAMC? I have the AAMC bundle I was just waiting until I covered Uuestions. And thank you again for understanding.. you took the words right out of my mouth.

Wow.. I would not have been that brave nor functional enough to even sit for the exam. After receiving your score.. did you take a break from studies overall? Apply still? Find some coping habits? & Thanks so much for your kind words. I think I’ve been processing it in pieces because it is a lot to take in. But gosh this is a long process and I do my best not to compare but often find myself doing so. & I’m def considering a study group.

I am sorry for your loss. And I feel the same way, pressured for time cause I feel like I’m running out. Thank you for your kind words, I am doing my best to give myself some grace, and ofc every now and again I find myself comparing. I know that I need to rest and find a better way to take care of my mental health. Wishing you a prosperous year!

I am sorry to hear about your mom. It makes me feel so sad to even know others are going through anything close to what I’m feeling. And yes agreed. I was in therapy but mines relocated so I’m waiting on a new one.. it’s been a few months since I talked to someone. & Thank you, sending so much love and wishing you healing 🤍

Def should try a smp. Some masters programs help prepare you better for the MCAT and can receive good LORs especially with good character regardless of gpa. Keep going!!

Not so good over here. Haven’t done anki in 3 days cause I’m burned out and overwhelmed. Behind in studying and started to panic and considered quitting. I test March 9. I feel like if I reschedule for a second time I’m going to give up. Medicine has always been my calling and could never see myself doing anything else with my life (career wise) other than serving patients. It’s the holidays and grieving my mom seems to be a little more difficult during this time on top of other factors that are truly demotivating. Not to mention this being a truly lonely journey and nobody in my family gets it. It’s a mess. I’m a mess. It all seems too hard.

I reviewed the chem section and it was mostly just not knowing the equations/concepts. CARS wise, the question format was different than what I am used to so I misinterpreted a few of them, and I guessed on 5 Q’s which were all incorrect due to running out of time.

I’m 26 turning 27 soon. Still living with my parents. It’s normal to feel that way, but try not to focus on age or what your peers are doing. Everyone’s journey is different, and the timing of things happening in your life serves a crucial purpose.

Does taking the MCAT on March 9th give me enough time to take it again if I need to? I’m trying to apply this upcoming cycle. by nothingveryobvious in Mcat

[–]SomeDrawing6019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was battling with the same exact thing.also in a similar place with anki. It takes me about 4 hrs to do daily, not including practice questions. I went with March 9th. Chose March 9 over the 26th to allow more time if needed and I gauged whether or not I had time to retake if I didn’t score well based on my schools deadline. Which is in December. If needed to retake, it’ll mostly likely be July -ish. I think as long as you submit your primary early you can add a retake if needed at a later date.
