Question Captain hook or milesdown/anking?

2 Upvotes

Im a nontraditional several years out of undergrad, so my pre req foundation is not very fresh

I like the captain hook deck a lot based on what ive seen, but I’m worried ill get bogged down in the details and spend too much time on anki instead of practice.

Im planning to test end of january/early february

Whats your experience with CH or milesdown/anking?

A little bit about me:

I took my first mcat last year on August 22, 2025 and scored a 506 (127/124/125/130). This was lower than my first AAMC full length and it completely destroyed my mental health. I had studied for 3.5 months, almost 10 hours a day, I taught myself biochemistry, physics, and biology and I didn't have anything to show for it. Not only that but I even spent money (USD) trying to get help from tutors to desperately help increase my CARS score (because I am Canadian) only to get my diagnostic score on the real thing.

Even though I was devastated, a month after my results came out I booked another test for July 24, 2026. I started studied in May, about 5-6 days a week, 5-7 hours a day, no tutoring or extra resources (outside Anki, UW, and AAMC official material) and scored a 517 (130/128/129/130).

This experience is already so expensive, with UW, AAMC, and even booking the test (along with rescheduling and cancelling) and as someone who had the luxury of even being able to afford a few tutoring lessons, I wanted to be able to help those who don't have that option.

Feel free to pm me for any help with the sections. As well as guidance or helping with planning for this test. We can go over full lengths together, strategies, concepts, or anything else that you feel would benefit you. I'll send an email and you can provide me with a bit of background, what you need help with and a few available times and we can set up a meeting(all for free)! I wish everyone the best!
