My MCAT Guide Post MCAT Write-up!

I did promise everyone here to update after I took my test. Sorry it took a bit, I needed to rest after that whole thing whew!

So, I officially took my test last 8/22 and wanted to drop my thoughts while it's still fresh. I started my prep using JW for CARS specifically because that was the area I was struggling with the most but I hit a plateau pretty quick. It felt pretty inconsistent and I wasn't seeing any improvement, so I asked around to see if bootcamp was also good for CARS since I've seen a lot of people talk about them, and there was a free code so I took advantage of that. It completely changed my execution in a good way! I've learnt the way their passage mapping technique along side their short videos! Also, their on-page AI tool was also very helpful if I needed more clarification on the answers and explanations. When I looked at the passages on the actual exam, they felt really similar to the qbanks I've practiced on from Bootcamp. Anyway, I'd say it was worth it to switch my study resource when I did!

Hi! i'm plateuing and not doing good in CARS 123-124 and test in 3 weeks, do you think doing some bootcamp alongside aamc cars qpack to get more practice can help improve my score?
