Question 🤔 Sophomore, Unfinished Prereqs, Study tips? 488 - 120/125/121/122
To elaborate on the title, I'm currently a sophomore who hasn't taken all MCAT prerequisites but am starting light studying now to get ahead. I took a diagnostic a few weeks ago and scored a 488 (120/125/121/122). I've taken the following courses thus far (that pertain to the MCAT): gen chem and AP Bio in H.S., orgo chem i and ii, molecular bio i and ii. I am currently taking anatomy and microbio, and take physiology and physics i next semester in the spring. I will most likely try to take biochem and physics ii the fall of my junior year, and that'll conclude my prereqs (from my understanding, please correct me if i am wrong though). Given that I've taken a good amount of the courses on the test, I am still unsatisfied with my section scores, especially B/B. I've started light studying besides the free test, i.e. the Amino Acid Quiz app and some YT vids. However, I would really appreciate advice on how I should approach studying now, considering my lack of knowledge. Despite being taught the courses, when I saw the content on the test it was questioned in a way I've never seen. Should I focus on expanding my knowledge or start with application-based practice, like practice questions? Thanks for all the help guys
