review

Hey everybody! Two weeks ago I started my MCAT prep and I have been trying to figure out a rhythm to get content review down in a timely fashion and move on to practice questions and exams. My current MCAT review day consists of flashcard review, read a chapter while creating my own flashcards...

1st, let me say that this review is simply my humble personal opinion on what decks have and haven't worked well for me and my opinion on how I think some learners might benefit more from certain decks. The review is neither all-inclusive nor scientifically validated, it is simply my two cents...

Hey everyone! I have already submitted my AADSAS app to my (1) state school, and it has been verified. I have yet to take the DAT (set for July 15). Does anyone know which dental schools are reviewing applications without receiving DAT scores first? Besides that, my application is fully...

Title says it all! Looking to get opinions on how in-depth the review should be. AAMC recommends around 300-350 hours of review. For example: The concept of Gluconeogenesis, to what it extent would it need to be reviewed? Does understanding what it is and what it does suffice or does every...

Hello! I am studying 12 weeks total for mcat in august. I have just finished my first pass through the kaplan books for content review. It took me three weeks but I took minimal notes and did not do end of chapter questions. I basically went through and made sure I UNDERSTOOD everything and did...

I'll be starting med school next fall. By the time I start, I will have had two years since undergrad. A lot of that undergrad knowledge is a bit fuzzy at this point. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with review material prior to starting med school so I don't feel behind when we...

I think I have a pretty solid finalized list for my W/A section. I was curious if anyone would be willing to give it a glance over and comment on the activities and categorizations? Please let me know and thank you in advance! *EDIT* I should note, if other Premeds want to "Trade" PS and W/A...

I'm 9 weeks from my MCAT and still doing Bio Content review...my note taking is taking an unholy amount of time. I was using the TPR book but thought it was far too detailed, so I bought the EK book. I use word to take the notes then transfer them to Anki for solidifying the content. I think my...

So last night i took a next-step half length diagnostic MCAT exam, and my bio results were awful, i got a 123. I struggled a lot during the bio portion of the exam, and i knew my score was going to be bad. this is concerning because i've done some content review. i'm about 100 pages into the...

Hi guys, SD helped me a lot when it came to studying advice prior to taking my NAPLEX exam. I thought I'd pay it forward and offer some studying advice based on my own experience. A little about me: I was an aggressively average student with a 3.1 gpa from a reputable pharmacy program. My...

I feel like I'm waiting for secondaries and IIs again waiting for a journal to peer review some papers I submitted. But I'm definitely not *leaves to check* checking it every 5 seconds, because *leaves to check* that would be crazy, right? For those of you who have done research, what's the...

Hello all, I will be entering my first year of university this fall, and although I probably won't be planning to take Psychology within my first year (maybe a summer class???), I wanted to get some opinions on what I should do: I was a junior and I took AP Psychology last year & thoroughly...

I just took NS1 and got a 506 (127/125/127/127) and know for a fact that this was due to timing issues (guessed on 8 questions in B/B, which were on GLYCOLYSIS!!! MY SPECIALTY :( !) I want to spend the next 7 days really hammering FLs and doing as much practice as I can. Below is my schedule and...

Please help! I am looking for someone to help me review my work/activities section! My school currently does not have a pre-med advisor so no one else has seen my formatting or descriptions, and I really want to make sure that I am doing it correctly!

I already reviewed and finalized, but then realized I did have a W freshman year and took the same class second semester BUT I didn't mark that down as a retake. Is that considered a retake? Is that something I can request to edit because it's not letting me open that section again!!! Any help...

In many ways, this position was to die for. I worked for physicians in a competitive IM subspecialty, many well known, a few easily nationally recognized. Here's why I quit: It's finals week and they wanted me to work 4 days 6AM-5PM, one day in the satellite clinic 2 hours away. Outpatient...

Would anyone be interested in taking a look at my personal statement and giving me some feedback? If so please PM me?

I was recently accepted to my dream M.D. school and am eager to get started. However, I have been out of school for 1.5 years (for an extended gap year) and am worried that I am going to struggle with my classes at first (compared to my classmates that are fresh out of school). Should I be...

Hi all I'm no good at reviewing practice exams so I'm turning to you guys for help. I've been taking a lot of practice SATs and my score has been pretty stagnant. Any advice on how to improve your score? Much appreciated!

I'm struggling to get through the readings in the review books (ExamKrackers) since it's boring. Also I find I do not learn as well from just reading and do better if it is taught outloud in a lecture. I know Khan Academy offers MCAT review videos and was wondering if just watching those and...

Hey everyone! This is my first SDN post so apologies for any mistakes on my part and thanks for stopping by. So I'm in the nascent stages of MCAT preparation right now, just about to start major content review. I decided on using the Kaplan 7-Subject pack as my main source, but after doing a...

What do palliative care fellows use to study for boards? On amazon I see some sample test kindle books for sale, but not many books for study. Is there something that fellows commonly use to study for boards, or review courses?

Im planning on taking the princeton review ultimate course, 123 hours of instruction + 7 prep books. I was looking for books with dense material coverage and I heard from people that princeton review covers topics really in depth. Also I have friends who used princeton and scored pretty well...

Hi guys, How much did yalls score increase after taking a prep program such as princeton review or kaplan? Did you find the prep-program to be helpful or not really?

Hi guys, I am going to be taking the princeton review ultimate in-class course during the summer of 2018. I was wondering if anyone has taken this course already and can provide some opinions on what it was like? How much did it help? How detailed were their classes? etc. etc. etc.

Hi! I would really appreciate it if someone just read over this short email and reviewed it for me! I know the follow up emails don't make a difference in the admissions decision but I want it to be as good as possible! :) *ALSO if you're confused about the second paragraph, a question I asked...

There is constantly new information being added and yet its necessary to review old material. I find that as med school progresses, it gets more difficult to achieve balance since there is always more info added to the pile that needs to be reviewed. For example, I'm doing "Interpreting EKGs"...

Hey guys! I recently started a podcast called OnePharmily. I'm a third year pharmacy student myself and wished there were more review podcasts intended for pharmacy students, so I decided to try to make one! I've got two episodes out right now, where I picked a disease state and discussed the...

Hi Guys! I have finally made a draft for my statement that I don't absolutely despise, but it still needs work. It's definitely too long (about 4 pages double spaced) Anyways, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would be willing to review it for me. I am hoping to submit it by this Friday...
