Who will be joining me on this day?
112 days left!
112 days left!
Taking it on this date as well. Signed up a month ago and this was one of the few dates left in California since everything else was taken. Oh well.
First time taking it. Anybody have any advice on how to study for biology? I have no interest in reading the TPR Biology book since I have no idea if I should be reading the details or just skim things.
Dont try to memorize for bio. You just have to know the big picture. Also, focus on practicing experiment-based passages.
Are you advising against memorization period? I feel like there is some material to be memorized, but then again, I'm not an MCAT pro. I have heard though that bio is leaning a lot more toward experimental passages, and for this I find reading research papers helps. Do you have any suggestions for the types of experimental passages to read and where one could obtain them?

How are you all staying motivated to study? I have a self-study schedule, but it's been the most difficult thing to stick to it (trying to study 2-3 hours a night since it's only time I can do it), and now it's already October

Everyone works differently and has different stuff going on, so studying in the morning may be tough for Ldubs. but whichever works best, def find a schedule and stick to it!Well this is our last chance before it gets really tough. Right now we have unlimited resources... As well.also I know you said you can only study at night but you should really try to do it in the morning..
Are there any Jan test takers in the MD, NJ, PA, VA, NY...or anywhere nearby who are looking for an earlier test date? The Dec 6th test just opened up and I was hoping to coordinate with someone if they wanted to switch? I would be FOREVER grateful. I work full time so the Dec 6th test would be difficult to finish studying for! I'm pretty flexible (and can fly)--so if you are even further away and thinking of changing please let me know!!!
Keep looking. Obsessively ....and you'll find SOMETHING. I am hoping the best for you!
I've been working on a modified 4 month S2Ned schedule for the past month or so while working full time :/ doable... but hard. I would imagine youre in more or less the same situation.so i was legit almost crying yesterday because I couldn't find a spot in January but finally sniped the Jan 13th spot in Canada (good enough). I really hope we can rock this one guys before this new beast comes up on us. So whats everybody's game plan? Im going TBR for sciences, VR for me is fine consistently 10-12. Haven't done ANY aamc full lengths so I'll be doing those starting december. Do you think I would have enough time to do 4 month SNED schedule while taking 4 courses this semester (lighter courses)?
would you mind elabaroting in the modification of the schedule?I've been working on a modified 4 month S2Ned schedule for the past month or so while working full time :/ doable... but hard. I would imagine youre in more or less the same situation.

Yea me too, i plan on studying with school also, but im following SN2ed's schedule! We should be fine with a lot of hard work and determination.I will be taking the test on this date as well! I am going to be using ExamKrackers and will begin studying this weekend! It will be tough with school, but we can help each other stay in check! I plan on studying 2-3 hours everyday!

I am doing the Kaplan course and ..... I just got done doing passage one, from Practice test two from the verbal book and after spending 1 hour on it. I only got 1 right.... My scores has progressively gotten worse these past two weeks. Any advice? I am gonna go over it in depth later. But the passage to me was really hard and I could not logically pick out the right answer. So many hard words and I just didn't get it. Worst passage ever.
It looks like your mindset is your biggest obstacle.
I do best when I feel confident and happy. I learn better from mistakes when I'm confident and happy. You might relate to this as well.
A major weakness that you discover before the test day is a gift, an opportunity to hammer out any issues!

Yes, that's why I quit SN2d a long a$$ time ago.Hey guys, I'm trying to follow the Sn2ed schedule, but for Orgo, it takes me a VERY long time (3-4 days) to read the section, do the in-text questions and the passages. I also have to take notes since I tend to forget very easily if I don't write things down. :/ Any one else having the same issues?

TPR FTW.
I've been using Chad's videos + his quizzes + TPRH science workbook. I was weak in Bio so I also read the TPR review book and did the end of chapter passages/drills. This keeps me plenty busy! After I finish I'm going to do the AAMC SA + AAMC 3. Only then will I know if this method was comprehensive enough. Fingers crossed!Do you use the TPR review books or TPR HyperLearning?

I still think TBR is good for physics because the chapters seem way shorter. But I abandoned that 1/4 the way through the schedule.
I realized just how weak I was in Bio when I took AAMC 3. I used EK for bio, but I really needed something much more thorough since I didn't do much biology in college other than Bio 1 & 2. I ordered TPR hyper learning science workbook and am hoping that will help with my weakness. Keep up the good work!I've been using Chad's videos + his quizzes + TPRH science workbook.

What is everyone using for verbal?? I have completed TPRH and just bought EK. I have the verbal SA to complete still, but I like to do verbal everyday because I suck at reading. What do you guys recommend me purchasing as an extra practice verbal book??
