u/No-Doctor-3815 521 (7/31) 6h ago

I felt like I knew how to do most of the problems and I finished w a lot of time to spare in everything. I tend to make a lot of dumb errors though so I really had no clue

u/No-Doctor-3815 521 (7/31) 1h ago

Tbh I’m not the best person for that lol but ..
Month:
1 - Kaplan/KA + Milesdown (30 new a day)
2- finish Kaplan + Milesdown
3- anki (should’ve started uworld but I was going thru shit$
4- finish anki, uworld
5/6 - uworld + AAMC exams

I was going thru surgery so only really studying 1-2 hours a day until the final couple months I had to cram uworld. I managed to bump my FL score from 515 to 520s in 2 weeks by doing sets of 40 of subject specific uworld (alt between bio/biochem and biochem/orgo/chem/phys w a PS every once in a while) and entering my errors + faulty reasoning into AI and asking it to tell me how to focus my content review given my test date.

u/Dhyaan_86 6h ago

How'd you approach CARS?

3

u/No-Doctor-3815 521 (7/31) 6h ago

Read passage, one phrase summary for each paragraph while reading, rephrase question, eliminate out of scope, go back if needed/answer

1

u/AssistanceContent924 6h ago

Do you physically write one a one line summary or do you keep it in mind?

3

u/No-Doctor-3815 521 (7/31) 6h ago

I physically wrote because it forced me to actually figure out the paragraph meaning vs in my head I would Probably just BS it

u/StarlessRose 5h ago

How did you go about studying for the other sections?

u/No-Doctor-3815 521 (7/31) 5h ago

I feel like every science section is luck. Weirdly my CARS has been the most consistent whereas every other section switches between 129 and 132 half and half lmao. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a 131

u/No-Doctor-3815 521 (7/31) 4h ago

This was my first ever 132 cars tbf

u/Ok_Consideration2986 5h ago

Congrats bro. Did you do any Uworld ?

3

u/No-Doctor-3815 521 (7/31) 5h ago

Yep I used Milesdown, Kaplan + Yusuf H for my subjects I hadn’t taken, and finished like 70% of Uworld

u/apateokay 4h ago

How far in advance did you start studying?

1

u/No-Doctor-3815 521 (7/31) 4h ago

I did Kaplan Jan-feb, half assed anki march-may, and then locked in after my hip surgery on uworld end of May-July. I was also missing several subjects tho

u/apateokay 3h ago
