Hi all!

I have just finished content review and have 55 days left to do practice problems for the mcat. I have done CARS every day, but no other kinds of practice questions for other sections beyond the end of chapter discreet questions from Kaplan. I need advice on how many questions a day is realistic and where I should get all of my materials from? I'm not sure if im totally screwed or not haha.

TLDR: is 55 days enough time for practice, and where should I get the materials from to practice?

Thanks a ton for any and all advice people have to offer!

Yes. I would get all the aamc material. Do the section banks and q packs. Review them thoroughly. Do them again a week or two later.

There are many resources here for how to best utilize the FL aamc exams. They are the best predictors of your score. I would take FL1 now, review it thoroughly. Get through the SBs, review them thoroughly, then do FL 2. Save FL3 for before the last possible reschedule/cancel date. If FL3 doesn’t line up within +\- 3 points of your goal, strongly consider canceling or rescheduling.

Great job on leaving plenty of time for practice, btw! You have a great opportunity to reinforce all that content review via active processes (ie practice problems). Take advantage!

Yes, and from AAMC! You are not totally screwed, and investing in official practice materials is absolutely worth it.

You should take some time to create a study plan that fits your schedule and stick with it. Identify weaknesses and review them. Best of luck!
