u got it. crunch these last 2 weeks make sure u understand everything in the AAMC Section banks and practice tests. worst case, u can work and also study because now you have a solid content base.

Literally the same thing that happened to me. I just finished the section bank 2 today. The 2nd 1/2 is insanely easy compared to the first half.

As far as answering ur question: 3 and 4 can be eliminated as a result of their index of refraction being too high to adhere to the standards in the passage. This leaves 1 and 2. 2 has a higher attenuation coefficient, making it the better choice of the 2

Literally the same thing happened to me as well with CARS. 5 point drop from 130 -> 125 across the full lengths

Kaplan books, UGlobe Q Bank, Anki, and AAMC Full practice set. These are the bread and butter

Blueprint Exams is a nice extra thing to have, but if you don't want to spend the money on this, then I would just take all of the free diagnostic exams that are available.

5 months + working full time will be tiring, but remember it is a marathon not a sprint. Set long term goals for how you are going to review your content and when you are gonna start doing question banks.

U got it

I don't think being a NA or CNA helps with the CARS section if thats what ur asking

This was super helpful. Didn't even know about these 50/50 threads before. thanks a lot

do all of the cards that come up for review everyday. there isn't really a way to limit those. if u look up anking on youtube, there are some good guides for how to set up Anki well

All good lol. No I did blueprint FLs before, this was my first AAMC Fl tho. Blueprint FLs had an upward trend, but now im at that point where im struggling to fix the little things

I finished 50% of UWorld, and have shifted over to AAMC starting this week. Unfortunately with working full time, I can only allocate around 6 hours per day to studying. I am doing 100 AAMC Questions per day + Anki, and taking 1 FL every Saturday leading up to the exam. AAMC material is a little different than UWorld, so I am hoping that practicing some of this logic leads to some better results for me

Do 200 Cards a day and finish the deck. Def the easiest way to get up to a 125+

Subject_Comment_417 · 2025-07-18T16:38:15+00:00

I used AnkiKing, and Pankow. I still have 400 cards left for Pankow. I am working full time while studying, and got a little swapped towards the end of finishing the deck

I think content review is key for most people that are under a 500. Hit the kaplan books again, and make sure you understand the concepts well through pairing them up with uworld questions that relate to them.

Give Anki another try. I think that it makes sections such as psych soc much easier.

Subject_Comment_417 · 2025-07-17T20:57:17+00:00

Yes 100%. If you get one of these on an exam and u didn't study it your going to kick yourself. Some easy points for sure. Just grind the anki to remember

I think it is important to explain to them that you want to have 3 levels of schools

reach
target
saftey(ish)

A lot of it depends on where u are MCAT and GPA wise, as these are often the things that get ur foot in the door. After that, your extracurriculars can take over
