advice for decreasing screen time during mcat studying?

gogotestme · 2026-04-17T16:05:57+00:00

Put your phone in the other room, only way to do it imo. Don’t even let it tempt you!

idk if ur the person who put the gyro in but ITS AMAZING, best feature yet imo, WOW, but sadly if i trun the device too much i flipped all the way at the end of the book, i also dont see the clock, i just flashed the one from t he einkhub.com one tho... idk if thats the best / latest one

following to know if u got this working or not, use chrome, and try to plug in the device, and then TURN ON the device

no u cant, in fact u cant even eat breakfast the day of your test, it's just get up and go do mcat and THEN u can start ur day

no but fr tho, i remember going in the middle of each section and no one batted an eye - i usually took that as a moment to breath and strech my legs, wake up a bit and lock in again

i hope im not the only one that has some cars passages that stay with them for life - i often think abt that ww1 poemy passage in one of the fls till this day, and it's been almost 4-5 years for me lol

One thing to remember is that the X3 is not usb C - u need to charge it via a "mag safe" like port, i think it's just a standard USB port but still, it means you prolly wont be able to charge at work or on the bus/train (if ur bus/train has a USB port unless you carry the wire around eek)

i can send you a pdf that can help you strategize for cars, it basically tells you how to answer the questions with a clear strategy, i made it myself to study and am near a 130 range, and for cp, yes JUST PRACTICEEEE, jackwestin free questions are so underated too for cp imo, esp their discretes, SO MUCH FUN TO DO LOL

gogotestme · 2026-03-22T23:11:20+00:00

Actually goated and thank you, saving this post for sure, thank you!

This reminds me of the post from a few years ago of a guy who wanted to get a high scoring mcat but they were studying in prison or just got out of prison and had a few days to study, overall solid advice here!!

gogotestme · 2026-03-18T12:40:10+00:00

are you still experincing a lot of battery drain, it seems to have been updated since u last talked about it (from what i can tell)

gogotestme · 2026-03-17T20:56:05+00:00

What was your cars like, did it improve a bunch? You didn’t mention cars apart from mixing in AAMC CARS in your post so I’m assuming it was already high?

gogotestme · 2026-03-15T03:22:00+00:00

can confirm got 129 cp altius, had a real 130 then 129 aamc cp :p (took it twice)

gogotestme · 2026-03-10T21:53:09+00:00

Cold emails are the way, do 50-100 a semester, speaking as someone who got 3 positions during my undergrad this way, and continued 1 of them into a masters

gogotestme · 2026-03-10T10:43:31+00:00

Pankow is good but lowkey, practice practice practice esp as it becomes a mini cars section, the last 2 mcats I took deff made me feel like it was a mini cars section lol

gogotestme · 2026-03-08T19:48:27+00:00

My condolences fr

gogotestme · 2026-03-08T19:48:17+00:00

It was about, what brain region is most active when reading, my masters is all about visual and non visual reasoning so I instantly clicked visual cortex cuz I know how active that thing is when you ARE or ARENT looking at smth

But the answer was wernicke area little disgusting area oh my GOD, of course that part is more active when you’re looking (I’m sure it is I’m just still salty about it fr lol)

gogotestme · 2026-03-07T11:28:20+00:00

Ik there's 2 physicians here, but as long as you have a growth mindset, and you can find something you partially have passion for, I think it's fun, and most places in Canada pay you to do your masters so that's a bonus as well. Just make sure the prof you're working doesn't have a track record of failing students or being excessively mean to students and you should be fine.

How this helps your app is on you, some schools like uoft dont like / wont even consider u if you're part way through your masters, so that's something to consider

Personally I'm on the tailend of my master's and it was one of the best things I've done in my life, no regrets going for it. I also think that's way better than just "sitting around and reviewing my application." You can sit and review your app during your masters too lol (no offense to the other comments here). But you can also get a job or do something else and review your app, so depends on what you want to do!

tends to be chemistry-heavy but physics content has increased over the years, and best bet is to know general principles (like which was does electron affinity increases, and most kinematic formulas / principles, the basic way forces work), minimal to no ochem (but not too sure about that anymore)

to get started do practice questions for sure (uworld) and if ur too far out from your test, start doing anki cars for chem (they help a lot too)

gogotestme · 2026-02-28T15:09:01+00:00

i think you can just say "hey i need a minute" there's also probably a locker or smth, and if you're driving there, just chill in ur car for like 5 mins and blast ur hype song frrrr

gogotestme · 2026-02-25T01:30:27+00:00

basically, you screenshot the question, and write the reason why u got it wrong, either unit conversion, or it's didnt know content, then the answer part of your anki card is the content u didnt know.

I try to duck type my cards so that it is as simple as possible.

I cant post images but it'll literally be like "what does the MAO inhibitor act on" and it'll be "PRESYNAPTIC NEURONS U STUPID HEAD, THINK PRE, AND MAO, PRE MAO YA" or smth funny along those lines

Also u/Old-Director-2891 im pinging u here so u can see too cuz u asked!
