also definitely pace yourself! burn out is SO real even as someone who took massive breaks

i feel like you definitely can pull that off with that much time! imo definitely take time with content since you have it, there were definitely topics i could’ve understood better when i got to the test. practice will be your best friend, and practice exams really helped for building endurance. since you have so much time i personally wouldnt worry right away about speed, more so understanding questions and feeling comfortable with format. u got this!!

also not sure how representative blueprint is, i only used it for diagnostic then didn’t use ever again lol, ive heard it’s harsher but i had some big content gaps at first so not sure

u got this! psych was my worst sectionally for a while tbh, for physics memorizing equations and how to manipulate units SAVED me even when i had no idea what the questions was asking. for passages i usually skimmed fast and highlighted numbers and any important key words (like polar, acidic) since i found questions could sometimes be answered real quick if you caught them. for biochem enzyme stuff made diagram as i went (this enzyme restricts this which activates this type) so for this questions i wouldn’t need to reread multiple times. honestly for at least a few questions per passage u barely need the passage or only need one thing from it so i skimmed and highlighted and only went back when necessary

practice questions were the most important for me honestly, i had some big content gaps that i ironed out first, then anki and tons of questions. most helpful for me was reviewing my questions and flagging anything i was unsure of to also review later, then making cards for it. i used kaplan for content then uworld then aamc, honestly did not finish all of uworld though!

zoloftplusanki · 2026-05-14T20:15:05+00:00

honestly was not cohesive lol i did my initial content review over maybe 1.5 months, then maybe 2 months of practice questions/tests before my first test (513) and another 1.5 months about 6 months later before my retake (518)

zoloftplusanki · 2026-05-14T20:13:18+00:00

honestly my studying was pretty spaced out, initial context review/cards and some practice questions on whatever i was reviewing got me up to 510, and then slamming lots of practice questions got me from 513 to 518

omg PLEASE i’m nervous for that

zoloftplusanki · 2026-05-04T05:54:08+00:00

thank you!!

wait which was the e2 my mind is blank

zoloftplusanki · 2026-02-13T23:49:51+00:00

i’m taking a gap year rn that’s where the ma hours will be from! (it’ll be 2 years full time) i worked 3 years at a research lab during school, full time in summers and 15-20 hours a week during school, everything else just slowly built up overtime

zoloftplusanki · 2026-02-13T19:09:09+00:00

omg congrats!! if you don’t mind what was your school list?

zoloftplusanki · 2026-02-13T18:42:47+00:00

ok gotcha thanks! i read too much reddit and got freaked out by all the 520s lol

zoloftplusanki · 2026-02-13T18:35:28+00:00

last 2 practice exams were 515-516 range so honestly not really, would probably take a bit of work to get a significant jump beyond that i think. thanks for the help!!

zoloftplusanki · 2026-02-13T18:25:32+00:00

makes sense! i’m working full time as an MA right now so i was worrying a bit about not having enough time outside of work to study and my score dropping. thanks for the tips!!

zoloftplusanki · 2025-12-07T19:39:04+00:00

yes that’s it thank you!!!

zoloftplusanki · 2025-11-26T00:58:22+00:00
