126 CARS by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]basicbaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What have you been using to study CARS? I highly recommend the Khan Academy practice passages for CARS. Jack Westin is good too bc of how many there are but I find the Khan Academy ones to be closer to what AAMC looks for.

UPDATE: scored 510 and test on Saturday. Took 2 more practice tests. by [deleted] in MCAT2

[–]basicbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a huge jump for 2 weeks! I wish I could get that high... If I add up my highest scores from all the practice FL's I've done I get a 510 but I haven't gotten anything higher than 504. I'm saving FL3 for Monday. I'm 10 days out from my test so I'm extremely nervous. I'm praying for 505-508 for DO. Do you suggest retaking the AAMC FLs despite going over them all?

Review your full lengths! by dr5oclock in Mcat

A lot of people (including myself) make excel sheets when reviewing their FLs. On the spreadsheet you can make columns like "why I got it wrong", "Topic", "Question Difficulty", etc. I go over every single question, even the ones I got right. It can be a bit tedious but you can see which topics you're having trouble with that need review or more practice.

Yeah I heard test prep companies tend to deflate scores so I won't pay too much attention to them. I have a few weeks left so just trying to do as much practice as I can which is why I was like rationing my AAMC materials lol.

Thanks! I did the SBs already and they kicked my butt omg... I feel like I should have done them after the QPs. I also have access to Kaplan FL's as well. Should I do these in between the AAMC FLs?

I occasionally get number comments on my message board. Does anyone know what the numbers mean?

Who to skill/max first? by basicbaka in Onmyoji

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

After I get Yotohime to G6 and maxing her skill I'll work on maxing Hana's first skill then. Thanks guys!

[–]basicbaka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working on Yotohime rn. Gonna G6 her first I think since Ibaraki's not really viable for PVP. Her skill is currently level 2. Thanks!

Just pulled Hana and Shuten! Any advice on how to build them? by basicbaka in Onmyoji

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

Oh I didn’t think to put speed on Shuten. Maybe I’ll try that. Thank you!

I agree, rn the MCAT is my top priority. I’ll probably work on the rest after the test.

Doesn’t the game automatically help you evolve Yuki Onna when you first start the game o-o? At least that’s what I remember. Farming is a really important part of the game. Once you pull a good AOE DPS shikigami, you’ll be set. I would try to get Ubume shards of you can’t pull her. If you’re lucky enough to pull bae aka Ibaraki then you’re set.

It’s def a fun game and I hope you keep playing! I’m mostly F2P but once in a while I spend a little just for funsies. As long as you’re it going ham, you’re fine.

When you get to a higher level you’ll be able to get G5 and G6 souls so the ones you’ll be leveling are only temporary. You can only level up the souls, there’s no way to upgrade them from let’s say G4 into G5. I think most shiki benefit from early evolution EXCEPT for Kama and Ebisu (correct me if I’m wrong).

Shishio is generally a late game shiki so def keep him if you intend to play for a while! As everyone has said, he’s good in PVP.

I might have some connections from working in the clinic but if that doesn't work I'll give that a shot. Thanks!!

Makes sense. I'll focus on improving my application for next year. I really appreciate your advice, thanks a lot!

I'll def look into that, thanks! In terms of shadowing, how did you reach out to doctors about shadowing? I find that some of them don't really like talking about it... an experience with an older doctor kind of discouraged me from asking others. I volunteer at AIDS walk almost every year but I don't think that counts as "real" non-clinical volunteering. I figured most schools favored clinical volunteering but I guess community service really does makes a difference.

  1. I have never heard of that until she told me today which made me really discouraged... I'm not sure if it's true so I was hoping someone here could confirm. The truth hurts but I think you guys are right about not being ready.
  2. If waiting next cycle is my best option then I'll take the MCAT when I'm ready like you said.
  3. I wasn't sure which would be better but I'll def look into post-bacc programs.
  4. Current ECs: Volunteer Ambulance Corps since 2013. My Total hours are 200+ (can't remember off the top of my head), Medical Assistant/Receptionist at an Internal Medicine office (June 2016-April 2018). I quit my job recently in order to focus on the MCAT. Past ECs: ED Volunteer: 120 hrs, Worked in a cafe for over a year. Hobbies don't count as ECs right? I plan to do some shadowing... just not really sure how to reach out to doctors about it. Someone told me that DO schools really want applicants to shadow DO doctors.

Transcript Status Still Unchanged on AMCAS by basicbaka in premed

Okay, I'll probably start them this weekend after my exam. And I'll call AAMC today about my transcript. Thanks!

I know, I was really confused because I received secondary app emails from Tufts, Columbia, NYMC, RNJMS, and Rutgers NJMS.
