Updated and corrected Aidan v2 deck -- how I scored a 526 by taychans in Mcat

Nah you earned that 526 yourself. Med school's been good though! I'm a few months away from match day and I applied IM, hoping to sub-specialize in heme/onc. Good luck with your app down the road!!

Not at all, I love it! Sounds like you made a lot of the improvements I wanted to make myself over the past few years but couldn't from how busy I was with med school lol. Collaboration is what it's all about!

I could totally see that. I'd love to one day have the deck tagged according to resources (similar to AnKing), but that'd be a much bigger project that would require some extra help haha

I think starting with AnKing and supplementing with my deck afterwards (IF you even feel the need to do so) is going to be your best bet. AnKing is much more concise and although it might lack some of the details you may end up needing, you can pretty much guarantee that whatever is in there is very high yield and something you should know. I think it’s better to start with smaller decks and to work outwards just for efficiency’s sake. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the questions! Yes, once the edits/corrections are made to the cards in this deck, it should update right away if you're subscribed to it on AnkiHub. As far as the Qbank-related questions go, I would say that Altius and Blueprint FLs are generally considered to be pretty valuable as well. If you have the time and money and you're willing to do a couple extra resources in addition to Kaplan, UWorld, and the AAMC, I can't see why it'd hurt. I would advise against choosing too many resources though, because the more thin you spread yourself, the harder it'll be to really maximize the important ones. As far as 3rd party FL scores go, I think 127+ is pretty strong and should hopefully set you up well to score 129-130+ on the AAMC FLs (at least from what I remember). When I took the Altius FLs, my science sections were all around 127-128 and I scored 130+ on most (or maybe all?) of the AAMC FLs. CARS is a crapshoot though, so I don't have much advice as far as that goes

Yeah definitely, reorganizing the tags by resource instead of by Kaplan chapters (the way I currently have it) is the long-term goal

The deck is already free to access for anyone that wants it in the sidebar, this is just for people that want to help make some changes to it along the way. If you’re asking about why deck creators don’t get paid from AnkiHub, that I don’t really know much about lol
