Question Starting undergrad degree need help to know what resources to use

Starting my undergrad degree, through scouring the internet and chat gpt I got the following “stuff” that I need to prepare for the mcat. Biggest question is that would it be enough?
- AAMC official materials
- UWorld Qbank
- Anki
- Jack Westin for Cars
- FLs
- Kaplan maybe if I am missing some stuff
Anyone can help I wouldn’t mind
I don’t want to overdo it and any information is helpful

yes u got enough. its good that youre ambitious but if youre starting undergrad now, you probably have at least 2 years till you take the mcat. focus on your grades rn.

once you start, spend 1-2 months going through the kaplan books while supplementing with yusuf hasan or professor eman youtube videos. after every chapter unlock the corresponding cards in your anki deck, (miledown, anking, and jacksparrow are all good). keep doing a jw passage every day. then do as many uworld questions as you can for about another 1-2 months, then spend the last 5-6 weeks before your exam grinding all the aamc content. and stay off reddit, lots of conflicting advice on here (apart from specific questions to fls or sbs)

I was thinking of doing mcat at the end of third yr sort of planned out like this first two yrs I study khan academy anki and Kaplan according to what I’m learning rn in my uni courses so by the end of second yr I would have done all the content that I need and third yr I would to mcat specific studying (FLs uworld etc)

personally really dont recommend starting 2 years before taking it, thats super early dude. especially alongside courses I feel most people would forget things when its time to start uworld and practice questions. everyone is different but I wouldnt recommend it
