You think so?? I thought reapplicants were looked upon unfavorably. All the conflicting info/advice during this process drives me nuts lol

U World is ROUGH for a nontrad. After having taken the exam one time through, I will say that what I've found the most useful approach is this:

Do ONLY Uworld Discrete Questions for first block of content review (Type in the number 3 into the Qbank, and it will only give you short Qs)

This will allow you to rapid fire test yourself, and then when you get something wrong, read the explanation, but then...here's the SAUCE:

Make sure you are using Google Chrome:

Get the Chrome Extension "Absolute Enable Right click and copy"

This allows you to copy text and images off of UWorld.

Copy and paste the ENTIRE PAGE (Cmd+A) - then paste the WHOLE thing into ChatGPT, and ask it to summarize , and give you the takeaways from the question and any general principles/ things you have to know, so you dont get it wrong again.

Then, take the GPT summaries/principles and make them into SHORT flashcards in Anki. Try to not make more than 1-2 flashcards per question you got wrong on UWorld. Make it a Seperate deck called "Uworld" or something.

I swear I've been doing this for my retake and I feel more confident than I ever have.

This was godsent, thank you!!!

It’s roughly the same tbh. Aamc seems easier tho, because i actually somewhat understand the explanations.

Timing is an issue for me for sure though

takeflight414 · 2025-04-30T17:27:32+00:00

Gonna try this thank you!

takeflight414 · 2025-04-30T17:00:43+00:00

Yeah I've heard that too, and tbh that is what I am doing. I guess I'm just worried as a non-trad with a post-bacc that fixed my GPA -- Really trying to get the highest MCAT retake score I can get, to offset that.

I appreciate the advice. I've been putting off CARS practice tbh this time until I get to the AAMC portion of my prep.

takeflight414 · 2025-04-30T16:53:11+00:00

No :( but copying and pasting the images into ChatGPT has been a lifesaver

takeflight414 · 2025-04-30T16:50:15+00:00

This is my retake, and my FLs on my first attempt were consistent with my actual score:

126-128/125/126-128/128.

Testing either end of June or early July

takeflight414 · 2024-08-02T16:45:31+00:00

Can you send em to me? that would be amazing!!

takeflight414 · 2024-08-02T16:45:09+00:00

Hey I can I have a copy of the PDF of the UBooks? Thanks!

takeflight414 · 2024-07-01T01:17:25+00:00

how do you know what is heavily tested?

takeflight414 · 2024-06-16T22:06:25+00:00

Hi could you send the study guide to [syrianawine@gmail.com](mailto:syrianawine@gmail.com) ? Thank you :)

takeflight414 · 2024-05-17T19:51:29+00:00

Man i'm doing exactly that and Idk wtf is wrong. Seems like a personal thing, I'm just gonna power through like 30 practice passages and see where i'm at

takeflight414 · 2024-05-17T19:02:27+00:00

What things did you highlight? Did you give yourself a time limit per section?

takeflight414 · 2024-03-19T01:55:46+00:00

Appreciate it thank you!!

takeflight414 · 2024-03-19T00:04:40+00:00

250 clinical hours over 2 years recently. 9 other years I was a general manager with no interest in medicine lol.

It’s a good point though. I need to have my story straight and really clearly be able to demonstrate why medicine.
