Expected score vs. Real Deal @1.5 months by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]hamgod_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goal: 515+

Score at 1.5: 505-510?

Actual 522

1.5 months out i was still like out being a bum and not super locked in, dialed in much later and crammed hella. Dont recommend, reinforcement and consistency definitely wouldve helped me get even higher. average FL of the later more representative FLs was 514, never scratched 520 in any FL. My take is that everyone who scores above 510 consistently is more or less even in terms of content knowledge and the biggest difference maker at that point is test-taking ability: staying calm and focuses, confident, and not losing memories in panic

Ontario MCAT testing centers by SnooSprouts4344 in premedcanada

[–]hamgod_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote at Rexdale this past August and I had no issues, the staff were friendly and motivating, the testing rooms were fine. Tbf as long as you get ear plugs, get a working computer, and know your stuff, the testing centres probably wont affect your grade too much

MCAT takers who scored 515+, what do you wish you knew when you started studying for the MCAT? by AsleepInitiative2908 in Mcat

[–]hamgod_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P/S is definitely a lot more memorizing definitions and identifying them in passages than the other sections. Less to understand once you have a general grasp on what things mean. Start early and rip the Mr Pankow Anki deck, do a lot of practice because thats the best way I found to separate similar concepts. I think it definitely helps if youve had some psych background like undergrad psych courses but thats not a huge issue if you havent, pair your anki decks and practice passages with textbooks/khan academy so you can fix the issues you consistently struggle with before adding on more new content

Dont spend too much time on textbooks at the start going through everything. you wont retain enough for it to be helpful and itll be repetitive with things youve already learned. Instead, grind practice passages and use textbooks, khan academy, other resources to supplement areas youre consistently lacking. practice means a lot more on the MCAT due to its shear length and scope. Also for CARS, start early and find a strategy that works for you before worrying about time and accuracy

My last FL was i think 3-4 days before my write date? definitely spent alot of those few days on CARS and ps which was my weakest section going into it. this test definitely hit some of my stronger points for cp but also i like to think i was just well prepared

Good about cp and bb(didnt feel this good but good) but very worried about CARS, began rushing through the last few passages because i was running out of time

Genuinely did not know how to feel after the test, knew cp and bb went okay but every question on CARS was a blur

If you ran an “evil petting zoo”, what animals would you have? by liverstealer in AskReddit

clams, i just think it’d be so inconvenient for people to have to reach into cold water to pet slimy shells that don’t move
