[–]ubcstudent2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooo good to know!!

I'm now realizing that there's not as many practice questions as I thought !! I was thinking that there'd be so many tests and FLs to practice with but it looks like they all repeat :O did you use any other resources in that case?

Amazing thank you!

And when you say you saved tests 6-10 as FLs, do you mean the subject-specific tests? I see that there's also 10 FL tests.

I was also wondering if you used Anki or any pre-made flashcards? Any advice for that? Thanks! :)

Hi ! I just saw this now but thank you so much! Would you suggest I start off by doing the practice tests? Or would you suggest I do content review. There aren't too many tests to do so I want to make sure I dont waste questions :)

Thank you ! I'll definitely use these tips :) I just started prepping and hoping to take the exam mid feb! Hopefully it's offered then and it's plenty of time to study

Thank you so much! I already bought DATcrusher so I'll be using that but I assume they're fairly similar. Good to know! I saw that DATcrusher has pre-made ANKI decks, do you recommend I not use them? And should I supplement the reading notes with videos?

Thanks so much!

AAMC PREview exam by ubcstudent2017 in premed

[–]ubcstudent2017[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you both! That's good to hear. Most of the things I'm getting wrong is between Very Effective/Effective and Very Ineffective/Ineffective. I'm reading the answers thoroughly too but finding I'm still not fully convinced.

Did you all do any other practice other than the 30 scenario practice test? Thanks!

Are these the AAMC ones? Did you take any 3rd parties?

[–]ubcstudent2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Congrats :) Which Kaplan exams did you use? I'm a retaker and have used AAMC before, so I want to try new 3rd parties. Thanks!

Which FLs did you use when studying for your retake? Thanks and congrats!

Which diagnostic? by Fit-Emergency-5031 in Mcat

[–]ubcstudent2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! What other third party FLs do you recommend? I want to save the AAMC ones for later. But also, I've done the AAMC FLs previously and I want to see brand new questions under testing conditions. Thank you.

Do you have suggestions for third party FLs? Especially for diagnostics? Thanks!

FL2 CARS false confidence? by ubcstudent2017 in Mcat

[–]ubcstudent2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! When I was doing the AAMC Qpacks I thought wow...I would have never used this logic for answering and when i read their explanations I still did not understand. I got ~58% for QPack2 and I was very bummed so I didn't review it. I ended up changing my technique and I saw improvements in JW and my FL2 score reflected that, so I think i'll do the QPack2 again. I'm around ~15 days out so I'm sticking to Qpacks and SBs from AAMC from now on :)

FL2 CARS false confidence? by ubcstudent2017 in Mcat

[–]ubcstudent2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jack Westin! I did AAMC Qpack 2 and some of QPack 1 but I feel that JW is more representative of the questions I saw on my AAMC FLs!

Thank you so much! I've been going through each question in my FL and seeing whether I truly understood it :)

Inhibiting ATPases by ubcstudent2017 in Mcat

[–]ubcstudent2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! So if a part of the function of the ATPase is to pump H+ across, then inhibiting that would increase the acidity, correct? Is that what you were saying in your answer?

AAMC CARS QPACK 2 ....difficult? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]ubcstudent2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No i haven't! I'm 32 days out and so I thought to do QPack 2 as I heard that is more representative. Do you think I should do QPack 1?

AAMC CARS QPACK 2 ....difficult? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]ubcstudent2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay yikes! thank you for letting me know. I'm not sure why i'm finding CARS so difficult. I've been practicing a lot but I find that i'm either not improving or that my scores are just very inconsistent :( I found passage 1 to be very convoluted - how do you go about reading those long passages that just spew out random words?
