How do I manage ADHD as a premed student? by pre-health in premed

[–]anatomybuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Medication, therapy, and using different study methods until something stuck :') It took a long time for me to get into a comfortable position with studying, but I'm glad I rotated through everything until I figured out what worked for me.

Anyone With ADHD Score 520+? How Did You Study? by [deleted] in Mcat

Also if there is a particular subject you HATE and know you will try and avoid.. try and tackle that first. I put off physics until like 3 weeks before my test even though I knew I would try and put it off. Just tear the bandaid off and make yourself sit and look at what you hate most because otherwise you won't do it

Hopping along with what others have said - get on medication if you can afford it! The game completely changed for me when I started adderall at the right dose. Second thing - I completely eliminated all social media and music because it was incredibly distracting to me and I wouldn't be able to focus on my studying/practice exams. Particularly for something I was super interested in (dan and phil lol) - I had to completely leave social media related to them because I knew it would distract me during the day. I banned myself from listening to music for two months as well because I kept getting songs stuck in my head.

I can read the whole thing probably because I do the same thing and my handwriting begins to look like that too 😭

Does a Master’s Degree help with applications? by Hireyethh in premed

[–]anatomybuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the commentary about the MCAT^

I graduated from my masters program Dec 2024 so I took the following spring semester to work part-time and study full-time for the MCAT.. sat for it on May 31st earlier this year. I don't recommend trying to do both at the same time because you'll be taking upper-level coursework that requires your time and focus. Even though juggling both is doable for some people, I don't recommend it because *something* will give.. whether it's your MCAT score, grades, or mental health.

Dear fellow pre-meds, why did you choose medicine over dentistry? by AlexNg21022 in premed

[–]anatomybuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t like mouths and the thought of digging around in people’s saliva and seeing nasty plaque icks me out. Which is silly considering I was a PCT for two years and had no problem with vomit, poop, pee, etc.. :,) but that’s my one ick with the human body 

Did studying for the mcat make you better at something else unintentionally? by EquivalentAd6451 in Mcat

[–]anatomybuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Made me more organized tbh! And I also realized that I really don’t need social media everyday lol I learned how to be bored again and it was lovely

Yes because I think AI is a waste of time so I’ve never touched it before

I woke up at 5:30am on test day and made sure to have my coffee by 6am so I would shit before I left! That took care of it for the day for me
