Quizlet Flashcards for Psychology/Sociology

[Happy_Puppy5000]

Hello All:

I just did a quick Google search and I found the following quizlet flashcards for Psychology/Sociology. I am not sure if it will help anyone. I also understand that it is usually best if you make your own. Best of luck to you all on your studies.

I would not rely too much on flashcards for the MCAT. they are too passive a method. My friends told me to come up with my own clinical examples of each term, and then to design experiments to test said concept. This way I am thinking actively and critically about the psychology and sociology information. This is how the MCAT will test us.

Flashcards are active learning. Reading is passive learning. Having to recall info straight up by digging into your memories and working your brain isn't passive.

OP I would highly recommend using flashcards, especially for P/S (which relies heavily on memorization). They're the most time efficient method to learn terms cold. You could transfer those quizlet cards into Anki (tutorial here: ), which is probably the best flashcard tool available.

If you believe that, then I guess I would have to respond that flashcards, to me, are not active enough for the type of thinking the MCAT asks for. Recall of facts is not the skill they want. Though it is a very small part of being able to score well on the sciences, but is almost worthless in CARS. Good luck to you!

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using flashcards to memorize facts for CARS...usually you're supposed to use them to memorize important high yield science facts. Even if you know how to reason through a problem, it's no use if you don't know the basic outside knowledge required to answer it (i.e. If you don't know the functions of insulin/glucagon, you wouldn't be able to figure out what a graph of someone's insulin/glucagon levels looks like 20 minutes after they've eaten or after researchers inject drug X). If you've done any sort of practice for P/S, you'd know that memorization is essential to doing well on that section.

I used Quizlet to create flashcards for every bolded term in Kaplan's Psych/Soc book - very comparable to the list linked above. Probably went through the sets ~6-7 times. Highly recommend this... scored 129 for PS.
