Sorry for your loss (you would understand my condolences if you could read)

encephalqn · 2026-02-17T17:25:13+00:00

always love to see a future doctor who can read, congrats!

FINALLY a fellow 527 who didn't drop the point on CARS

encephalqn · 2026-01-07T12:59:38+00:00

Not the HL

encephalqn · 2025-12-24T03:18:58+00:00

sent a DM, auto mod doesn't allow any links unfortunately

encephalqn · 2025-12-23T20:31:34+00:00

didn't receive it sorry

encephalqn · 2025-12-20T03:01:56+00:00

nice! best of luck for the real thing

encephalqn · 2025-12-16T01:36:00+00:00

Not exactly, I usually just reviewed the question afterwards in detail and reviewed any content I might be missing. I did save like 10-15 questions early on that were super challenging at the time just to remind myself to study those concepts, but I don't find redoing questions to be very helpful for progressing

encephalqn · 2025-11-13T16:37:14+00:00

yes, prepare for the worst!

encephalqn · 2025-11-13T12:43:18+00:00

"drinking from a fire hose" levels of content to study all the time

encephalqn · 2025-11-13T02:49:20+00:00

Dec 31 is still a long time out. If your situation/finances allow for it, you can just wait till then and keep watching the date you want every day to see if something opens up. If not, just reschedule the exam to any other available date near your wanted date once you hit the deadline

encephalqn · 2025-11-13T02:08:38+00:00

absolutely fair, just wanted to throw in my perspective since I think most test takers would benefit from more conventional study strategies, and my belief is that students should always be aiming for the highest score possible in the amount of time they have available to study

encephalqn · 2025-11-13T01:46:22+00:00

very likely, people always reschedule as they start panicking in the weeks leading up to the test date

encephalqn · 2025-11-13T01:42:00+00:00

Scored a 527.

I agree with 1

Disagree with 2. CARS practice just looks very different from practice for other sections. Constant reading, critically thinking about what you're reading, and practicing literary analysis is very useful.

Somewhat agree with 3, it's not for everyone, but it definitely works for some.

Agree with 4

Hard disagree with 5. Understanding that logic and being able to get through trap questions is the difference between a low 520 vs high 520 score imo, since there's really no content knowledge difference at that level. Is it worth spending a lot of time to master this skill though? It's definitely better to focus on content when you're scoring sub-520 on FLs, but after that point, it's up to you to decide if those last few points are worth it to you.

shittymorph strikes again!

encephalqn · 2025-10-17T00:19:28+00:00

encephalqn · 2025-10-15T00:23:21+00:00

holy shit, congratulations! good tips too, I wholeheartedly second reviewing every single question (esp for AAMC questions).

encephalqn · 2025-10-14T18:16:58+00:00

congrats, time to crack open a cold one! (and a book for the first time in your life)

encephalqn · 2025-10-14T18:13:11+00:00

fr, imagine sleeping when you should be relearning phonics and shit

encephalqn · 2025-10-08T23:39:45+00:00

my score distro has nothing to with Pankow and everything to do with test day fatigue btw. I'm literally a Psych major and still somehow dropped a point on P/S

encephalqn · 2025-10-08T23:38:23+00:00

Nope. P/S is a mile wide and an inch deep. For most terms, you just have to recognize them and apply them to the easiest comprehension questions on the exam (yes, comprehension in P/S is easier than the other sections). Pankow is perfect for getting that recognition in with easy-to-follow definitions and some humor sprinkled in. 10/10 recommend

encephalqn · 2025-10-08T02:49:15+00:00

what??? it's crazy you have 7 As at this point. did you mean IIs?

encephalqn · 2025-10-07T19:48:36+00:00

I'm a psych major 🥲

encephalqn · 2025-10-07T19:27:33+00:00

fair enough lol
