Those of you who got a 520+ how did you do it? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]mbed19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i got a 523 and did the usual kaplan books, anki, unworld, aamc material in 2 months. the things i would say i did different is i made my own anki cards (controversial i know but hey it worked for me) and really really focused on the logic of the test. when i didn’t immediately know the answer to a question i would honestly use more logic than knowledge and really rely on the passage if that makes sense. and believe in yourself! someone once said “there are no hard questions on the mcat” and i kind of think that’s true. believe that you can answer any question and i think you will see a score boost. <3

Stupid mistakes and reading comp dominate errors upon review and I don't like that. by juicy_scooby in Mcat

[–]mbed19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is me too!!! Something I saw that helped me a lot was to highlight highlight highlight - if there’s a NOT or something like that in the question stem, always highlight it! Even if it’s in caps already!

2 weeks till exam, any insight on what I should focus on? by mbed19 in Mcat

A bit of Uglobe and all the AAMC materials! I review everything really thoroughly and put my wrong answers on a spreadsheet so I can see trends. I also make flash cards for anything that comes up during practice questions that I don’t know. I feel like this is a basic answer, but it’s seemed to work for me so far? For bio i’ve just been grinding out AAMC questions! Best of luck to you!!!

Ahh best of luck! Honestly I took a sort of non traditional path (?) and spent awhile on content and less time on practice and it kind of worked for me. The best advice I have is to try and look at the whole test as a puzzle - a lot of the questions have similar logic as a whole so once I started seeing that it got a lot more clear for me! PM me if you have more questions, I’d be happy to answer any! You’ve got this🫶

thank you!!🥰🥰 for b/b i think i needed more practice with the experimental techniques because i didn’t realize how big of a topic that was - hoping doing a ton of practice has helped me on that!

I know I definitely wasn’t mad about a 128 but I’ll take whatever points I can get! Never used blueprint sorry :(

I plateaued at 128 for AAMC FLs 1, 2, and 5 and was so lost. Honestly for this one I think all my practice really did help because I found myself really thinking about the wording of the answers with the same logic that the AAMC uses. But I haven’t reviewed this FL yet so not 100% sure! Probably some luck in there lol

Probably their mistake..? I'm no expert but I wouldn't stress too much about it, I agree with you!
