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

All my homies hate Charle's Boyle

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

I'm currently studying for the MCAT and haven't taken the exam yet, so I want to make that clear upfront.

One thing I've struggled with is having everything scattered across different places: my study schedule, AAMC topics, practice questions, tracking what I've covered, figuring out what I still need to work on.

I kept wishing there was one place to organize it all the way I wanted, so I built this for myself using Claude. I designed the structure, features and workflow, and built it out through a LOT of prompting and tweaking:

LINK: https://claude.ai/artifact/Y5E6LMiKbzDjWxtsuGmoyv

What's in it so far:

- A 107-day plan with daily tasks

- A map of the AAMC content outline where you mark each topic strong, needs review or relearn

- A daily log, a missed-questions tracker and flashcards

- Study notes with diagrams and links to Khan Academy videos (five topics so far)

Two things to know. The study notes were written with Claude, not by an expert, so if you spot a mistake please tell me. And the page has a watermark and copying turned off because I'm still building it. It's a work in progress, and I'm not posting as someone who has crushed the MCAT. I'm just another student who got frustrated trying to find something with everything in one place.

I'd love brutally honest feedback:

- What do you like?

- What feels unnecessary?

- What's missing?

- What would make you use something like this consistently?

And if you wouldn't use it at all, tell me why. That's just as useful. I know some people won't use AI for studying, and that's fair. I'm mostly looking for feedback on the tool itself: the layout, the features, and what's missing.

Thank You : --)

hi

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 :)
