Hey Everyone. I will be applying for medical school for the next cycle. I am targeting the University of Iowa for medical school. I took the MCAT once. I got a score of 508 with a 129/122/128/129 breakdown. I am planning to retake the MCAT in the spring. For my first trial, I studied Kaplan books and completed practice tests using online question banks. For my second try, I would like to use other online study packages such as BluePrint, Princeton Review, Berkely Review ...

I would like to increase my score for Chem, Bio, Psy sections to 131. My lowest score was from the CARS section. I would like to have a decent score on CARS. English is my second language. I have difficulty finishing the CARS section on time and understanding the passage's main idea.

Which resources would you recommend for me to study? Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

What AAMC resources did you use, including Q-banks, practice tests?

Did you try the Khan Academy free course?

Berkeley Review books are floating around out there, but they are no longer an active prep company or publishing updated materials
Another fairly affordable practice question source is UWorld

So far I used BluePrint question bank, AAMC FLs, and I watched a few videos from Khan Academy.
