Did any of you not like anatomy? I’m not really enjoying it. It’s easy but damn so much rote memorization... kinda boring here and there. What do y’all think about this? Is it a bad sign? I love genetics, Biochem, my neuroscience classes etc.

I am concerned about my most recent NS FL 5 exam. I took it today and I was only able to finish P/S. Did anyone else feel FL 5 B/B passages and questions were very long and worded poorly compared to other exams? My goal is to score 512 on actual. Or was it just a very bad day for me? (my B/B...

Hello. I'm taking my MCAT in April and I have a bit of concern about the Section Bank. I went through the questions and got quite a few of them wrong. I find that they're very hard and complicated, mostly because they require extra levels of thinking - a standard of the new MCAT. I have a...

hi current pod students. How long did you study for the MCAT and how did some of you guys study? I'm finding it difficult to keep up with my anki and content review during the semester, and so I have not studied much at all and plan on taking it July 10th. I do have two months of summer where...

I have all the books for the princeton review course, for all subjects. How should I create my study plan for through out the semester. I have 3 months of the semester plus 1 month in the summer. How should I split up the subjects, etc.

There's a pleuthora of information on this subforum. I've been going through a bunch of the study guides to familiarize myself with the MCAT study materials. Most of the them require the use of a bunch of different study sets at once. For example, MCAT jelly's schedule says to read Kaplan, go...
