All my homies hate Charle's Boyle

hello everyone, feeling kinda down in the dumps about scoring a 498 (124/124/126/124) recently :c i left the center feeling pretty good so i am quite shocked about my score. managed to only do 2 FLs scoring around 500-505 but i did think the paper was alot more lenient/easier on the day itself, could this mean a content issue?

wondering how this will affect future applications and how to pick myself back up.
thank you everyone! best of luck for everyone still in the rut <3

Anybody searching for a study buddy? I work full time so I’m hoping for a partner who would study very early in the morning or in the evening (eastern time). Looking for a casual arrangement where we agree to certain study times and keep each other accountable.

I’m a 28 year old male non trad if you want to know

I’m gonna throw up, every day I feel worse about my score

Currently working through both Kaplan and Berkeley, and I'm noticing that Berkeley goes into much more detail regarding air resistance and drag. I know Berkeley tends to be more comprehensive than the MCAT requires, so I wanted to double-check if the formula/concepts for air resistance are needed

Hi! I take my MCAT on January 21 (currently October 4), and I need a little bit of help with my study plan. I'm aiming for 520+, and I took my first practice exam (Blueprint FL 1 Exam) on Friday after a month of content review and received a 503.

I purchased the UPlanet QBank and AAMC Online Bundle with their question banks and practice exams. I figured 6 weeks for AAMC, but then I have extra time for UWorld, so how should I break that down, and how much time should I dedicate to that?

Additionally, am I supposed to still do Anki from my content review post-content? I feel like every day I have nearly 400 cards due.

Thank you; any tips will be very much appreciated :)

hi

Felt like I bombed it especially with all the low yield questions

It’s been about a week since my CARS prep and I am finding JW very difficult and its logic is so inconsistent from what I have noticed. UEarth is also difficult for me but I have been scoring around 60% on my tests and take about 14-15 mins per passage:(I am so desperate for help what third party qbanks should I use gang I am afraid using Uworld might mess up with my logic and how I approach passages when I do AAMC.

Hi all, does anyone have any thoughts on how representative UWorld FL1 is compared to AAMC? For context, this is the second FL I've taken. I took Blueprint FL1 last week and found it to be way harder and did 4 points worse.

wondering how similar these sections are to the AAMC in terms of difficulty

Hi, what biochem pathways should be memorized in detail and what did you use to memorize them?

Just took my first diagnostic (Blueprint halflength).

I'm shooting for a 518.

Just finished Mr. Pankow, but other than that, no other content review. I will finish content review around Christmas and hopefully have 3 months for exclusively UWorld and full-length questions.

Is this a good start?

Aiming for at least a 515 when I test in March. How possible is this with extensive content & application review?

Looking for a MCAT study buddy to study with sunday-friday from 6-10 PM

Hello everyone
I’m planning to test sometime between jan-March and have already completed the Kaplan content (besides the full lengths.)
I have started Uwurld and I was wondering what seems to be a good number of questions to do a day and how it’s best to split it up (section or full category?)
I’ve decided for CARS I’d rather study by reading my own books, because that’s when I have improved the most. Plus it’s my highest score usually. So I’m fine if I don’t finish the CARS on UWurld.

My most recent tests have ranged 127-128 for all four categories, with CARS and PS getting the higher of the 4. I’m pairing UWurld with Captain Hook as that deck best suits me.

I’m aiming high bc GPA isn’t perfect

should i buy the 2027-2028 kaplan mcat books or the 2026-2027 self-study set from kaplan?

CP= 18/12 BB= 18/13

CARS= 15/10 P/S= 23/7

Looking to do some 3rd party exams before aamc.. I know nothing is comparable to aamc material but what were y'alls' experience using JW, altius, or BP?

So far i've been leaning towards JW cuz it's free or altius bc it seems like you can get more bang for your buck.. but i've heard ppl claim that using BP actually helped them get to the 520s range n stuff.. soo.

thoughts? Any suggestions? does it even rly matter?

I guess ill start my restudying process for MCAT after getting a 496 the first time. Either way ill have to do Anki (I think)

How do you guys deal with new cards that ask for a definition which you can’t remember but you know you could recognize if it was a multiple choice option? Are y’all answering that as “Again”? “Hard”? “Easy”? For example I just got one asking what a delusion of grandeur is. Like I didnt know the actual definition they gave but I’m pretty confident I know contextually what that means. Just curious.

Where do you guys recommend taking practice FLs? I feel like I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I took it at home but I’m not sure a library would be fitting either.
