June 2nd here.
My upcoming new few days are going to go like this:
- two FL's a day, skipping CARS each time
- quick review of wrong answers which I will write cards on using ANKI
- Do ANKI whenever I'm not actively studying
This will enable me to exhaust all of my FL's (I have 6 NS, 5 TBR, and 3 AAMC) by next Tues.
If I can pull this off I'll have Wed, Thurs, and Fri to do what I need to do depending on how I do on the FL's. This means, a more in-depth review of the FL's and section banks. What I mean by more in-depth is going over all the questions instead of just the ones I got wrong. I don't think much practice in CARS is going to do much for me at this point, I just need to go over the question types that I answered wrong and have a better feel for the types of answers that they are looking for.
So far my FL scores are:
- 129/127/128/126 so 510 on AAMC FL 2 on April 30th
- 128/126/127/128 so 509 on NS FL 1 on May 8th
- 128/125/128/125 so 506 on TBR CBT 1 just now (5/24); stayed up and just decided to do it. Way longer PS sections that were very reminiscent of CARS.
On both of these, I ran out of time for all sections except PS. PS, for some reason, I finish like 30m early. That's most likely because for the questions where I don't know the answer, there isn't much I can do because I literally don't know what the choices (terms) mean.
I need to get my timing right. I also choked on these two exams. Math is my strong suit, but I spent way too much time on a calculation. I'm going to have to figure out how to manage my time effectively and make extensive use of flagging questions that are taking too long to answer. I like to highlight and strike things out so learning the keyboard short-cuts for these are very useful.
). And then I go back into my mindset that imma fail and the panic attacks come back LOL.
