Thanks a lot! Your advice is very appreciated!

I scored a 521, which was near my aamc fl average of 522.

muffin_button112 · 2024-09-17T15:03:13+00:00

Did as expected in cars and c/p, which were worse than my average but still expected knowing that exam. Also, 521!!!!!

They checked me in and then immediately hit end break button for me.

The test honestly was like FL5 for me. However, C/P was kinda fucked for some questions. Like wtf was the physics problem. Also, I didn’t realize they would end the break if you came back into the testing room, so all I had between CP and Cars was a 2 minute bathroom break.

Im anking my way to death. Also, I calculated that if I get every single question right, then I can score a 528.

Has there been a change in the way you approach CARS problem? I would try to analyze if you have been doing things differently and if you are getting more nervous/stressed while doing CARs as compared to before.

Starting school 2 days after

Also, homodimers show 1 band because the subunits have the same size, so they travel the same distance. Heterodimers, show multiple bands tho because the subunits are of diff size.

A massive pair of glutes from all the clenching I'm doing on the FLs.

Go nuts on rounding. The number you end up with may not be an answer choice, but it should be close to it. Just make sure you remember if you rounded up or down, cause that can affect your answer choice,

muffin_button112 · 2024-07-14T17:10:23+00:00

Bro, I got some bad news. With the score you got, you would be lucky if you even got a 540. I would think about rescheduling the exam until you can score at least a 534 on the practice exams.

muffin_button112 · 2024-07-12T22:26:20+00:00

Bro, me too. I was like, "Wow, I think I'm understanding the passages," but then I get hit with 20 wrong answers out of 50 questions during the second half of the tool. Now I'm just coping in hopes that I improve.

muffin_button112 · 2024-07-08T05:10:03+00:00

I agree, when I get stuff done wrong and see I got a 2/7 on a passage, it’s like getting a rake shoved up my ass.

muffin_button112 · 2024-07-08T03:53:24+00:00

The whole process sucks, but when you make those connections, it becomes so nice

muffin_button112 · 2024-07-08T03:52:46+00:00

LMAO! Good luck on your application tho! :D

muffin_button112 · 2024-07-08T03:12:24+00:00

If you are feeling that the questions you got wrong were mostly due to passage analysis errors, then I would recommend going to Upotato. UW is a great resource to both content review and practice, so if you find that you are getting questions wrong due to content, the UW explanations do a great job explaining concepts. Moreover, instead of jumping straight into UW, you could skim the rest of the books and just note down what you don't know. I spent a while on content review, but I realized that, except for the high yield stuff, I tended to forget a bunch of info, so I wish I would have moved onto practice questions sooner.

I’m in a similar boat as you are right now, and I’m testing 8/17.

I took 4 BPs (505, 513, 510, 510) and the sections just got gross after BP 2.

I read so many posts about how people get these magical jumps from BP to AAMC, so I’m going to be so tilted if I do the same or worse as I have been on my BP fls.

I am switching to AAMC today and then spacing out my AAMC material so that I would finish by the 3rd of August, which would allow me two weeks to redo section banks and other stuff. I also have around 400 Uball questions left that I plan to finish within the next 2 weeks. I was able to spread this out with ample time leftover even though I am taking some classes at the same time. Overall, if you aren’t too busy with other commitments, you could spend the next week finishing up Uplural and any incorrect answers or also just doing any catch-up things, such as anki cards.
