On board for Sept 1st. I was attempting to pull of Sn2ed's 3 mo plan but failed miserably.
I have all the material. Ek 1001(101), BR's, Kaplan access to AAMC's FL and Kaplan FL. TPR sciences and verbal workbook. However, I have not had time for any of EK's. I feel really dumb. The BR content review has been exhausting. I have not had breaks in my schedule. I complete the content review in full detail and jot down every word. I will then attempt the 1/3 passages rather slowly and take notes very carefully and study it thoroughly. I pull of perhaps 9-10 score on all sections. However Biology can be really unpredictable. ranging from 12's to 6's. I consider myself having a good biochem, genetics and research background. But BR bio is crazy sometimes. I have no history of physics whatsoever. I have the credits but at my undergrad physics was a joke in a sense that a test review was the test! I concentrated on other courses while concurrently taking physics. TPRH verbal has been more of a rhythm type deal. If work on four passages daily I can score 10's no matter what passages, perhaps more points. If I am out of verbal practice for some days I will start of at 6-7 score then in a couple of days I can get it back to 8 or 9 and in a week back to 10's maybe. I still have the last chapter of each BR sections to complete. Physics (optics), Gen chem (electrochem), Orgo (labs) and Bio(populations). I am nervous about the AAMC's next week and as excited as well. I fear I have forgotten all previous chapters content for BR. Its been almost 40 chapters since early june!!! I have had no time to work on the second or third (1/3)'s. This scares me. I am also 30 yrs old. I am a father of a 2 year old boy and a high school drop out. I have a GED from 2005 however 4.0 GPA with 90+ hours in 2 years of university undergrad. First summer I had research at a Cancer lab in a Med school. This summer I am in clinical research for a top medical institute in the world!! Mayo if u must know. I have 5 experience as a Limited Radiology tech. I am very nervous scared to let my wife and little boy down because I spent so much time away from them. I am not smart I just try and study a lot. Many have told me to attempt to apply this coming cycle. I think this will be too stressful because I am taking Advanced Biochem and Histology(two toughies at my undergrad) along with other courses this fall. I plan to take full lengths all of Aug. If i can hit atleast a 25-30 in one of my AAMC's. I might consider applying to TMDSAS. Is this to far fetched????. How is everyone else's studies coming along? I fear I am not prepping correctly. I haven't time myself yet. However I work well under pressure. My major concern has been just learning material, not exactly rushing through it. Is this bad? Can someone guarantee I will be ok!!! LOL. I am going crazy. Sometime I feel crazy when I pull of 24 hour days. I gotta do this though. I just wanted to share my story. I hope some of you all have some great advice for me.
