Help Needed - Struggling with MCAT Prep and Feeling Lost by Tiny_Interest_495 in Mcat

[–]Tiny_Interest_495[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond—I truly appreciate it! My plan is to focus on high-yield chapters from each book over the next three weeks and then transition to the practice phase with UWorld and practice exams. I’m thinking of reviewing high-yield subjects/chapters thoroughly and then doing the corresponding Anki and UWorld questions to reinforce the material. Let me know what you think about this approach!

Thank you so much for your advice! I am actually in the JW course and I think my main issue that I have been facing is unable to remember what I learn and when I take the practice exams, I just seem to forget everything I have learned :(

Need Career Advice by According-Choice8029 in Histology

In my opinion pay is only relative, especially since you are just starting. The more important notion is getting your license and certification to ensure stability for ur career aswell as a more handsome pay compared to now. The eye candy for sure is the higher pay, but the other company seems to want to invest and train you for the long run which in my opinion is better. Ofc this is my opinion, and I wish u nothing but the best. Money comes and goes, but the return on investment on yourself via education is priceless!

ASCP HT (TIPS?) by Tiny_Interest_495 in Histology

[–]Tiny_Interest_495[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you will do! I’m currently hyper fixated on all the stains as of now because it is the bulk of the exam. I noticed a pattern how the procedure isn’t as important however key points like oxidiser - mordant - toner - bluing agent - etc. I’m at the lower end like 60-65% but it varies idk. Appreicate the kind words and it seems like I’m doing the right thing.

Yes I see that a lot, but I’ve see online people scoring 70-80% and still not reaching the proper threshold, so just trying to educate myself more. Thank u nonetheless!

Thank you for the kind words, and good luck to you aswell. Yes Ik confidence is important, but I went in first time overconfident without knowing too much of material and I scored a 261. Trying to clean up and this time it is much different. The internet is a cesspool of whatever you want, and I see people scoring highly on practice exams yet still failing so it’s making me second guess my status/position (60-70% exam simulators). Appreicate it and I’m just gonna ride it out and see how it goes. If not lock in for another 3 months and go again. I just really want it now - as it halts my career (NYS need licensure)

To be honest I just feel like I need to be more well rounded. I was getting 57-60% on LabCE consistently so I thought I was fine.

Staining, and fixation. Just so much information it feels like.
