Has anyone taken the MCAT course at TBR? What was it like? Do you recommend it for someone who needs structure in their studying?

Hey there! For those of you who have blazed this path before, I need some tips/advice. I’m a Non-Trad with a MSBS (class of ‘19). I have a full time job in a private practice (work 7am-6pm most days) and have three kids under 5yo. I’m assuming the death march to the MCAT will be a long one...

Hi, I‘m currently using the Kaplan books for mcat review and the math portion states that “conversion factors will be provided as necessary.” I just wanted to clarify does that mean conversion factors for basic things we’ve learned in classes such as Celsius/Fahrenheit/Kelvin, miles to feet, eV...

Hi all. So I'm applying to MD and DO schools this cycle. I took the MCAT twice and got a 505 both times (507 superscored; I have a 3.96 cGPA and 3.93 sGPA) and as such am not too hopeful about my chances, especially with the drastic increase in apps this cycle. My question is this: I really want...

Does anyone know any summer programs that are research based but also offer MCAT classes or prep time? I want to do summer research but am also planning to do a large portion of my MCAT studying during the summer.

Just wondering, will they be able to see things like how many questions you missed, the total time you spent on the whole test/per section, and stuff like that? I know they will see your total score, confidence band, and section totals.

Hi All, I started studying for the MCAT around mid-May, with a plan to self study and take the MCAT in January. I am taking full credits this semester, including Biochemistry and Physics. I focused on content review this summer, starting with a 492 NS diagnostic. Early September I took my first...

I recently got unused old EK 1001 books (between 2010 and 2012 I think) for MCAT Gen Chem and Biology. I won't be taking the MCAT for another year, but I finished gen chem and gen bio sequences, and want to keep the content sharp before I start actual MCAT prep, which is after I take all my...

Hello, I am in desperate need of help. I would love detailed guidance on how I can increase my mcat score to a 500. I took a practice test about 2 months ago and scored a 482. Fast forward to now, after studying for 150 hours of content review and skill review I'm now at a 481. I don't know if...

I realized I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. My apologies.

So I just started studying for the MCAT on Monday and decided I wanted to take an AAMC FL practice test before studying just to see where I was at. I knew I wasn't going to score high because 1. I had an extremely difficult time with both my physics classes & need to basically start from scratch...

So my situation is very different than most. I have spent countless hours researching and speaking to doctors/medical professionals and have not been able to get a consistent stream of information. I'd like to hear what you guys have to say. In no way am I trying to deliver a sob story or a tale...

Hello, I bought the AAMC material in June this year and I will be testing next year (around April/May/June 2021). I brought the materials early to study content and do practice questions concurrently. I understand that the AAMC releases new materials every October. I was wondering if the new...

Hey guys, Looking for some advice and or suggestions on what I should do/has this ever happened to you or anyone you know? About 2-3 weeks before I took my official MCAT I took the AAMC official Practice tests (in this order) and got the following scores: FL# 3 502 FL# 1 506 FL# 2 506 FL# 4...

Hey guys, MCAT retaker here. So I was scouring reddit, when I found a fairly old post (2017) of people trashing retakers, basically saying things like "ya done goofed" or "get wreeked scruub" (I'm paraphrasing using their 2017 lingo). I'm applying this cycle and this ofc shot my neuroticism...

Hi, I’m a pre-med student completely lost trying to study for the MCAT. I had planned on purchasing the Kaplan 7-Book Study Set and some AAMC study materials, but I don’t know if those are the best ones. I have planned to start studying in September and take the MCAT in March (Covid pending)...

Hi, I've decided I want to take a Kaplan class to help prepare for the MCAT. I've heard mixed reviews & most people say it depends on the instructor. I have a list of possible dates with different instructors and I just wanted to know if any of you have taken a class with one of these...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a MCAT study schedule with only the AAMC material for the month prior to taking! I tried looking for one but I couldn't find one, or if anyone has any tips on which way to work through the AAMC material in the weeks before the actual MCAT! Please I am looking...

I personally had a rough time with my ACT/SAT tests and was wondering how I can prepare for the MCAT. Some have said I should study long and hard two months before test day and others have said I should study all throughout college. Any ideas?

I was attempting to erase my markings in these books in order to re-sell them, but I lost interest and instead of throwing them away I want to give them away in hopes of helping someone. A friend gave me the priceton and Kaplan books and I bought the TBR and EK sets. There are probably about 20...

Alright everyone I need advice. I took my MCAT on 6/5 at 6:30 am and got the results recently. My last 2 FL’s (AAMC 3 and AAMC 4) were a 513 (129/126/128/130) and 516 (129/128/130/129) respectively. I took AAMC 1 and 2 too early on while studying so I don’t think they’re reflective of what my...

Hello, I don't understand why we would look at the initial velocity instead of vmax for competitive inhibition. Wouldn't it be simpler to look at the vmax and see if there is a difference? Please help.

Hi everyone, I took the sample AAMC and FL #1 and haven’t passed 500 in either. I feel like I have a pretty good application with some unique experiences, the last thing I was hoping could make it was this score which proved to be much more difficult than I thought. i don’t understand why...
