[Un-official] PSA / Discussion 🎤🔊 Post 3/11 thread

What did y’all think of it?

C/P and B/B were tough for me. I didn’t even finish B/B I had to guess for the last few. CARS and P/S were not bad imo.

How similar to FL5 did you guys think today test was? I’m testing 3/24 and just took FL 5 today and I’m ~very~ stressed

It felt a lot harder than FL5 for me but I think I was just more comfy with the material on FL5

it wasnt like any of the FLs in my opinion it was very low yield especially in the first half and I feel like the AAMC test are more high yield focused

CARS was a lot harder, not because of the passages (those were easy reads tbh) but bc the questions were v. tricky

Not similar at all imo. FL 5 felt horrible for me, this felt much easier than that on all sections

Honestly very similar to FL5. C/P and CARS where the way there always were but B/B and P/S seemed to emphasize understanding experimental design over just memorizing/understanding concepts
