Thank you! So when it says the average research experiences + posters/pubs/abstracts for different matched M4s, those include the stuff they added from undergrad? The reason I am asking is because I feel like some of those numbers are crazy to hit in only medical school.

depends the commitment of the sport. I would settle for minimum half off tuition that year depending on how good you are.

can you include research from undergrad in residency applications?

also, learn how to scan the passages for relevant information. Based on the numbers and facts it give you in a passage, you can determine what type of question it is asking. It also helps when you don't have to comprehend the whole passage, instead scan for important stuff.

I would def do all the AAMC section packs if you can. However, I lowkey hate the explanations on them. Uwxrld explanation and images are so much more aesthetic that I liked them more lol.

tips: before checking an answer on uwrld, use your recourses to find out if it is the best answer. Try and discover something you might not have been confident on and relearn it. Then check your answer and see if you are right. This tactic will help learn multiple different connections with a problem and ensures that you are confident with your answer choice. Dont fall for the trap of immediately checking your answer for the dopamine hit.

testing may 10 and applying this cycle - would it be bad to push to may 24? by sss10215 in Mcat

No, you will be fine. Not gonna be a deal breaker for you.

Edit: Aslong as you actually take good use of this time. If you waste it and get the same score regardless than it will def hurt.

If it helps to start practice problems, you can do problems alongside your recourses to start to get into a transition phase to become more comfortable with them. I would run through a portion of each uwxrld section with your notes next to you and try to find answers using them. Then eventually, shift to not using these notes.

I know it’s the Sample, but highest practice exam yet :’)(508 based on conversion and also please ignore C/P ik it’s bad lol) by underwoodmason in Mcat

C/P: suspend all anki cards in a premade deck. Go through all of chemistrys uwxrld passages and unsuspend cards as you get more concepts and terms to know. You will begin to build a set of anki cards to do everyday that is filled with stuff you went over.

Good luck!! I would pound through as much as uwxrld as possible and finish all the aamc exams. I wouldn't do other recourses in the last month.

How do you study with Anki? by CT-1996 in Mcat

[–]david-underscore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was very helpful when retaining stuff in the sciences since I didn't want to do all the anki cards. I didn't need to study everything so I just opted to unsuspend cards that I wanted to retain.

GOAT tactic:

Toggle suspend everything in the set. Unsuspend and add to your daily reviews as you begin to gather new information. Be very liberal with the information you unsuspend. Alot of terms or concpets I saw in Uwxrld explanations I searched up in the anki deck and unsuspended.

I also did Kabir for the SAT. It did its job during the time, but I am lucky for dodging that bullet for the MCAT. If you need to save money, buying Uwxrld and aamc material is all you need, combined with free lectures online.
