I have currently applied to TX schools bu have indicated that I am retaking June 20.
My first MCAT attempt was on January 18, 2020. I scored a 506.
Major deficiencies were CP and CARS after the first time.
After continuing study (breaking due to end-of-semester projects + COVID uncertainty), I took a month break.
I got back to studying the last three weeks and took an Altius full-length exam. I scored a 507.
As always, my study technique was this:
UWorld Qbank + AAMC questions. After every question, I attempt to understand both the concept tested and the logic of how the answer was obtained. Then, I anki the reasoning/concept/logic. If I see glaring deficiencies (I cannot understand the explanation provided by Uworld or AAMC), then I actively watch khan academy videos to really teach myself.
I just cannot understand why this approach is not reaping me any goods. Studying for the MCAT has been a steep battle against myself. I feel like beneath me there lies a treadmill that is constantly increasing its angle of inclination- up until I slip off of it. I am fighting against my IQ. Without my SSRI (applying for a medical school scholarship with the army), I feel even more unarmed against the throbbing pain of my own mediocrity. This is so difficult to me and I wish I had some guidance so that I could begin to glimpse at progress.
