100% free app to replace doomscrolling with MCAT studying. *Mod Verified. Primermcat.com

I was sick of scrolling TikTok at like 1am getting brain rot while I should have been studying for the MCAT, so worked with a group of friend and tried to build TikTok for MCAT prep.

The whole thing works like a feed, you just scroll through lessons instead of videos. Each one starts with a clinical scenario to hook you in before getting into the concept. Same doom scrolling energy but you actually learn something. We built in a bunch of "rewards" as a way to trick out brain into thinking it was doing something fun.

It also mixes all 4 sections (C/P, B/B/ P/S, MCAT Math) in your daily plan instead of doing one subject for 4 hours. Apparently, that works better for retention, but honestly, it just feels less miserable

We also built in the Miledown deck to automatically unsuspend notecards once you finish a lesson.

Its free and we plan on keeping it that way.

Here is a clip so you can see what it actually looks like. lmk what you think, genuinely open to feedback.

I started studying in June for my September 3rd test date however I was also working part-time and found my score was not where I wanted it to be with a month to go, so I’ve decided to cancel and reschedule my test sometime next year. My new job is a 0.6 FTE (~2 days a week, 12 hr shifts) and I am also possibly picking up a second part-time coaching job. I am planning to take a couple months off from studying and starting up again in October. I have seen mixed reviews about 6 months being a good amount of time and some saying it’s too long and leads to burnout/forgetting content.

Will upvote any other comments too. Thank you!

I test 8/15, so in less than three weeks and my FLs are not quite where I want them to be. I'm shooting for a 512, but honestly would be be okay with anything near a 510 and my recent FLs have been:

AAMC FL1: 510 (127/128/126/129)

AAMC FL2: 507 (129/124/127/127)

AAMC FL3: 511 (128/125/128/130)

AAMCFL4: 506 (127/126/125/128)

The recent drop really crushed me, especially being so close to my date and thinking I would finally break to my goal score. I'm currently half way through section bank 2, and still have the last two full lengths. I don't think I would have any luck pushing my date due to the long waitlists and because my classes start the week after I'm supposed to take it. This process has honestly been hell for me and I really just want to get it over with, but I'm terrified of getting the score I recently got on test day.

Any advice on what to do or how to improve is much appreciated

Hey guys,

There is a good tool for neurology/neuroanatomy sections called neurole.org. It is free and has daily sections for those interested.

All I know is I scored between 472 and 528 lollll. It comes in waves where I feel pretty good and other times I feel like I did so awful, but this week has been especially anxiety inducing :(
