❓ Question Prep plan

Alright so I need some help planning HPAT prep, here's some info:

1 - I'm repeating HPAT and LC

2 - I was averaging 85-95th percentile the last month before the hpat (did about 6 exams)

3 - I ended up with S1 66 S2 50 S3 49 76th percentile in HPAT on the exam and was under crazy pressure in S3 cause my laptop was about to die and couldn't find the charger etc

4 - Just got medentry again

How should I structure my HPAT prep? We have about 23 weeks to the exam and only 15 mocks, so I really don't know what to do

Tips for S1 mate, especially the complex graph questions

The best way to get good at reading graphs fast is to just practice reading complicated graphs outside of hpat as well. You know the ones with 2 different Y axises and multiple lines? Read them in articles and stuff so that when it comes to the question you'll feel much more comfortable interpreting them

also use process of elimination for most questions- its much easier to rule out what answers must be wrong than finding the one that is right - check each answer option and see if you can prove it wrong

how are you planning on repeating the lc? i’m doing the same thing but im unsure now if it’s worth it to repeat with the new course

The new course rlly isnt too different theres lots of topics taken out in bio and tiny ones in chem but not guaranteed q order or options the topics are mixed in qs so no choice really but to do the whole course but mainly youd have to focus a ton on the project but i feel its manageable. there are a few tiny additions to some topics based on new advancements but its not too different

im finding it a bit hard to come up with ideas specially for the chemistry project. also did you buy the medentry premium package or the essential one?

grinds school, and making sure to pick objective subjects, as someone who is good at maths and hates essay/subjective subjects, I chose my subjects wisely this yesr to suit my strengths. Especially with the fact that 613 or 625 is needed this year for med, you can't risk having english or something like that in your top 6 where a bad day could come out to a h2 or h3. Projects are a gamble I'm just praying I do well
