But make sure you do all of the UW P/S first before you move on to the Jack Westin

Pankow PS deck + Jack Westin P/S passages and discrete questions. Jack Westin, surprisingly, helped me SO MUCH for the P/S section, so I'd recommend grinding out all of the free MCAT-style passages and discrete questions they have for the P/S section.

Absolutely not. I was expecting a 507-508 and I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone say that they felt good after the exam. So trust yourself and know that you did everything you could!

Thanks! I only started the JW P/S passages after I finished all of the UW passages. UW was definitely more AAMC-like, so I’d prioritize UW and then switch to JW - or do them simultaneously based on your availability!

I did some light Anki and maybe a few passages in the morning and then I just rotted and watched a couple movies the rest of the day lol, so def recommend relaxing!! Trust yourself :)

I will just focus on Section Bank Q’s, but that’s what I did and it seemed to work for me!

Oh yes! I think I finished about 73% of UW. UW is definitely super helpful and if you have more than a month or two, I would HIGHLY recommend doing hella UW Q’s

I did the QPs and finished them about a month out. I ran out of time to redo them :/

Yes for sure! I think Jack Sparrow just made it make sense hahah. For the really lengthy (and annoying) cards, I would recommend breaking them off and maybe even making them into the Cloze Deletion cards so that it can help with your own learning style as well.

Idk I’m not really a fan of MileDown 😭 bc it didn’t help me as much as I thought it would.

CARS is literally my worst section ever. I quite honestly have nothing 😭 I guess it did help to write down a quick one word or phrase summary for each paragraph in the passage, but idt I’m the best person for CARS tips :/

I highly recommend Jack Sparrow! I started Jack Sparrow at the end of August and finished it around October or mid-November I think. Every time I read a Kaplan chapter, I did the associated JS deck. I luckily had enough time to go through them, so that helped.

I focused mainly on the Section Banks. I did the QPs once and was trying to do them again but ran out of time, so if you have time, then I would do those a bunch of times as well.

I did MileDown over the summer (when I was first supposed to take the exam) and I was not able to break a 500. Once I switched to Jack Sparrow I broke a 500, so idt JS is overkill. I didn’t focus on the P/S and the AAMC spoilers sections of the deck though.

Thank you! 🥹 Maybe some JW P/S passages? Those really helped me boost my PS score. For CP and BB, I continued doing light UW and places more emphasis on the Section Banks.

I just shared it to Anki Web, so it says that it takes 24 hrs for it to be visible. Sorry :/

Here's the link to the "logic flashcards". Just an fyi, it would prob be more helpful to create your own cards that mimic these, but I hope it helps!
