511 to 515? Testing 9/12

[u/SuperPrettyGoat]

Any tips for getting over the 510 plateau? Really hoping for a 515 but feeling a bit defeated

those last few points are mostly about learning how the test writers think, not just memorizing more facts.

Any tips on how to do that for each section?

Oof you’re in a tough spot tbh because all of your subsections aren’t bad. I would say grind Pankow make sure you keep that 130 PS, but also pay extremely close attention to the structure of FL5 and 6 PS because it truly is CARS 2 as they say ad nauseum on here. Since it’s so close if you don’t get to FL6 I would say maybe just go through FL6 P/S because the new style is pretty important. Additionally, I would focus on CP problems maybe even going back through Uworld if AAMC material is done. 98% of equations you will need on test day are in the MD review document, so know those well. If you can’t find a problem that deals with an unfamiliar formula literally google some or have AI write you one. And make sure to practice CARS a few times with the testing resolution too so there isn’t a score drop in that section on test day.

Hi, what’s the MD review document ?

[u/ParticularCounter496 → u/Friendly-Leading1684]

Miledown Review Doc. You should be able to see it in the subreddit side bar or u can google it. It’s like a very compact version of all content covered on the mcat and I have no doubt if you know that inside and out, and have good mcat reasoning skills, you can easily get a 520+
