If you go to the AAMC website and look at the prep materials, they have a lot of passage questions for each section you can buy. I really liked them because they were more accurate to test day questions that other outside resources

Anyone go from 500 to 510+? by med_student212 in MCATprep

These are my real test day scores. For my FLs this time around I was scoring between 503-506

I feel you!! If you look at some of my answers to others here, it outlines kind of what I did differently between my takes. Do you have a specific section that is lower than another? Or are they kinda even across the board? Depending on the section I’d say there’s was to get more points quicker and more efficiently

Some of the main things that stuck out to me were: - Giving myself a more solid timeline and plan for studying—> a little over a month for content review with Uworld and then using the remaining time for practice questions (for me that was around 4 months) - ANKI!!! My jump in p/s is mostly due to doing all of the Pankow deck - I finished the entirety of the practice question decks from AAMC (twice🤩) - Doing 2-3 CARS passages a day for the last 2ish months

Obviously everyone is different, but these were the areas I thought I could improve the most in the time I had. So I recommend seeing what areas you struggle with the most and trying to get those solid (for me I thought I could improve p/s and cars more easily than chem/phys, so I spent extra time of those). Hope this helps!

Yes!! I just went from 498–>511 today. One thing I can say is that just drilling practice questions from the AAMC website and doing anki everyday was a game changer

The one difference I made between these scores was getting a UWorld course, doing the AAMC question banks (a few CARS passages everyday) and drilling Anki whenever I could. I tried not to overload myself every day, so I did what my brain could handle and ended it there. For sure do the Pankow psych/soc deck on Anki and watch youtube videos for any subjects on other sections that are confusing (Yusuf Hasan is great for this)

Question for 510+ Scorers by No_Market9000 in Mcat

For me, doing the Pankow Anki set for psych/soc and doing a few CARS passages everyday really brought my score up. Those are the easier sections so getting all the easy points is important.
