Awesome! Thanks.

 

[orangeblue]

I'm wondering if it's too much to watch this to prep for Aug 22 test or should I move my date up or what? :/

 

[Avengerz]

Awesome! I'm gonna review these for my MCAT next year
Now only if there were notes for these vids that'd be even more awesome!

I would not watch all of these for content review. Rather, I would strongly advise using ____ company's content review books and supplementing them with Khan videos for topics you do not understand even after reading the ____ books.

 

[orangeblue]

So dont KHAN ACADEMY everything and think you are doing great? Use the books as review (and only watch selected targeted khan videos)

 

[Gibbward]

Also if you're just using the videos to clarify certain topics, you could always watch them 2x the normal speed to save yourselves A LOT of time. I never realized until last week that you can control the speed of youtube videos so this is very exciting for me

 

[yestomeds]

I still don't know how to control the speed of youtube videos haha!
I think for some of the psych/soc videos, particularly for this one particular male speaker (not being sexist haha!), the speed could realllllllly be sped up a tad.

On the bottom right of the video, next to the full screen options theres a settings option where you can change the speed

 

[StudyLater]

Great job. Very helpful.
