study

I've taken biochem 1 at my university and received an A. I believe I have a pretty solid understanding of all the material in it. Should I take biochem 2 as well? Or would it be unnecessary? Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm scheduled to take the MCAT September 1st, which means I have roughly 4 months to study for the exam. I haven't started any MCAT study as of yet. Im going to do a few weeks of self studying starting tomorrow and do the princeton review ultimate in class course next month and complete a few...

So I’m starting rotations soon and I want to prepare / brush up on my knowledge. What’s the most recommended way of going about this? I also want to use the next 12 months to study for the NAPLEX. Obviously the last 2-3 months before the exam is where I will study more intensely, however I don’t...

Hello everyone, I've recently completed Uworld. I've finished three passes and I've understood the basic concepts. My question is now that I've completed Uworld, what more can I do to increase my knowledge? I've completed First Aid, Pathoma, and some anki decks. I'm taking an NBME in a day or...

My Organic 2 class is taking the American Chemical Society Organic Chemistry standardized test for our final in a month. Has anyone else taken this exam? How did you study? Any tips?

Hey guys, selling my TBR books that I used for my test a couple months ago. I bought them last year at their location in Berkeley. I highlighted one page and a few words(maybe 10) here and there. Pretty much unmarked books. Here is the Ebay page where I have them posted. The Berkeley Review...

Hi all, With a little bit less than a month to study before taking the actual MCAT I've been doing okay, but I feel like I could do better, the only problem is that I'm not sure how to approach it. I mostly get all of the independent questions correct, and I feel like my theory is good but...

Hi everyone, This semester has probably been the most frustrating on yet. I’ve just been getting one bad grade after another and I’m really close to the breakin point honestly :( The amount of time I’m putting in is not the issue - I believe it just may not be the most effective way? What...

hello, Please post your favorite tablet below and why you think it will suffice for upcoming medical students?

I am graduating in May 2018 with my Bachelors in Biology. I am looking to see if anyone that lives in the Visalia, Tulare, Fresno, Clovis, or surrounding areas will be studying for the DAT and are interested in meeting up and prepping over the summer to take the DAT around July.

Hey guys, I need some constructive criticism on my MCAT study plan if anyone would be kind enough to assist me. I am taking a TPR course this summer and reviewing content fully. I will be studying and taking practice exams and doing practice problems from early May until mid August, and am...

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...

Hey everyone, I'm currently 4 months away from taking my first PCAT exam and I haven't studied much. Right now, I only have access to the Pearson 2016 PCAT Study Guide that someone in my uni sold to me. I was wondering if someone could give me advice about this study guide, is it enough? is it...

I have double doctorate degrees. I am a US (MD) Medical School Graduate and I also have a Doctorate in Pharmacy (PharmD) and graduate with Summa Cum Laude as I was ranked #1 in my class. I am currently taking time off and have time to help/tutor students and physicians with any and all the...

Any advice or harsh/honest words are welcome. I am a first year medical student and I have had some academic trouble. So I found out that I failed a unit and I will be remediating over the summer. My dean made it sound like my ability to do anything relatively competitive is basically over...

Hi Everyone, I have failed the EPPP 2 times, though I improved significantly the second time. I want to continue to do things different. . I live in NY, I can do email, FT, in person, phone...whatever works. I think that having someone going through a similar situation will be helpful. Thanks

Eyyy I'm prepping for 1st year this fall and have been really leveling with the fact that, on top of being out of school for a couple years, I really had TERRIBLE study habits in undergrad. Pretty much didn't read textbooks, crammed for exams, etc. Ended up with a solid GPA, so I never really...

Hello all. I'm an accepted medical student finishing up undergrad this semester. Although I am an organized person, with the abundance of material and scheduled events in medical school (quiz, exam, whatever) I know I will have a somewhat difficult time keeping up with everything. I'm looking...

Good morning, I was wondering if there is anyone interested in being a study buddy for BTB? We can study and listen to chapters separately and then meet once a week or twice to check if there is anything that needs further clarification and to keep us motivated. If interested, please let me know...

For the past (almost) month I've been studying for my early April MCAT. I started with a 499 on my diagnostic half length (before any kind of studying/content review), and last week I took my first NS FL (after 3.5 weeks of mainly practicing passages and reviewing content I didn't know in them)...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to get rid of these books as I have no need for them after finishing the MCAT. I took the 2015 test with these books and I did well enough to apply to many schools. I know the value of these books have depreciated, but the content is still applicable. As long as you...

Howdy SDN! Here's a question for my fellow non-traditional pre-meds: how do we NOT run out of steam? I'm a non-trad. I have a BS, an MS, and I'm currently in a Post-Bacc program. Each of these programs I've done back to back, without summers or breaks (my longest break was my first winter...

Hello, I'm going to be beginning dental school this year and am currently taking my last prerequisite this semester... Ideally I would like to use this last course as a "practice run" so to speak for study skills. I achieve good results with my current study technique (go to lecture->write...

Hi all, I'm a person that like to study with youtube videos. Could you please recommend me any video for the NBDE1 ? Thank you in advance.

Throughout my entire academic career, flashcards have NEVER worked for me. This is one of the reasons why I struggle in courses that require pure memorization. I get much better results when I read the book or create logical flow charts/diagrams. The reason I mention this is because everyone...

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 everyone. I took the MCAT September 9th and received a 508 (127/125/126/130). I did sign up to retake on March 24th but I have been on the fence on whether or not I should retake. I feel like I can do better but am worried that because I haven't been studying much and am now working full time...

Hello everyone, I was just curious about those who used the Kaplan books to study with, would it be better to read the chapters and then write the notes based off the end chapter reviews instead of taking notes as you read? What has helped you? Thank you

Hi, I am entering my second semester in my sophomore year (I go to a community college and I will transfer to a 4yr Uni for my junior and senior year). I am wondering a few things regarding the MCAT.... 1) When should I start studying? I plan to take the MCAT in 2019 because I am aiming to...

Have any of yall studied hard for MCAT but did not receive a good score or the score you were aiming for?

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.

How could I prove the results and the volunteers of an experiment's legitimacy and show that the statistics were not forged or faked in any way?

I took my DAT in January 2017 and recently (12/01/17) was accepted into dental school. These are the materials I used to prepare for the exam and I highly recommend this study package to anyone who really wants to pass the DAT exam with high scores. Selling bundle for $250(USD). This bundle...

For anyone who has taken Kaplan Online Self Paced Study, Are their Passage Based Problems for the end of the chapter good to do along with AAMC questions? Is just focusing on AAMC for 2 months a good idea?

Hello, I wanted to know what the best study materials are for the pcat? I heard about dr. collins, perarson and kaplan. I was going to buy dr. collins but my friend took her september pcat for 2017 and she said it really didn't help her as much as people said. I have heard this from other...
