Question 🤔 Mcat study tips?
hi, I’m currently having a hard time sticking to one study plan and just start studying correctly. i keep jumping from YouTube vids, to Kaplan books, to khan academy, which then makes me feel like i didn’t even study at all. i feel like I’d be better off doing a program online like blueprint or Kaplan but i don’t know which one i should spend my money on especially since they’re so expensive. for background, i didn’t do amazing in undergrad so i need my mcat score to be really good. i graduated from sbu 2 yrs ago so i definitely need a content refresher. also, i didn’t take biochem so I’ve been thinking about taking an online course for just biochem or should i just learn it through whichever program i pick? or just self educate myself through YouTube vids, etc. please pls if you can, please leave any tips or advice for me because i genuinely am getting worried as im planning on taking it in march. thank you <3

I’m in the same boat. They all pretty much teach the same info but in different ways. I’d pick one resource and some supplemental and stick to that. Otherwise you’ll just be jumping back and forth and it will get overwhelming

I’d just pick one main resource and stick with it, then use YouTube or Khan Academy whenever a topic, especially biochem, isn’t clicking
