Due to personal reasons and procrastination, I didn’t start on any of the AAMC SB or Q packs until after my Sample FL. Ideally I would recommend starting it right after content review so that you have enough time to address the reasons for why you missed questions (content gaps/testing strategies). A lot of the strategies/approaches I used were an amalgamation of things I saw while lurking here □ Also, this sub is extremely helpful for every section. A good part of my FL improvement was just improving on Psych/Soc. I also got into the Pankow Anki deck pretty late but I still highly recommend it for psych. I personally never used UClown because I heard about it too late, but I think focusing only on AAMC problems and then supplementing with practical and focused content review was enough. (Electrochemistry -> battery -> circuits) Also more generally, it is important to tie the information you learn to stuff you already know. Then when I would take the next FL and get something wrong about a specific topic such as Electrochemistry, I would go back and thoroughly review just that. Personally Gen Chem was a blur for me so I watched a ton of videos to remind myself of the big concepts. Just requires a lot of honesty with yourself. Mainly differentiating between content and test taking strategies. I mainly tried to find patterns in the questions I was getting wrong and proximate knowledge gaps. I didn’t have a set strategy, but I did take time to go through and scribble down a few notes in a notebook that I would constantly review. Just keep a level head during the exam and don’t get thrown off by a weird question. This isn’t to scare you OP, because you’re doing everything that you can to prepare. I’ll be trusting my FLs like everyone says, but I know deep down I’m gonna drop by a few points because I let the pressure get to me. I was in the 518-519 range on the AAMC FLs, but I had to genuinely blind guess on probably 12+ questions yesterday, in addition to whatever else I got wrong. Add on the crazy amount of stress and anxiety for the real deal, and every single question suddenly seems way harder than it is. The real deal rewards critical thinking > content, while the FLs give people a false sense of security because they follow a similar pattern in terms of question style/content depth. I tested yesterday so I’m sure I have some bias, but the FLs aren’t 100% representative and I think it’s important for people to mentally prepare for that before taking the exam. /r/GAMSAT - Australian & UK Medical school Admission Test.P/S = Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior (Tentative) AAMC Sample FL Score ConversionĬ/P = Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological SystemsĬARS = Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skillsī/B = Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems # Correct -> Scaled Score Converter for AAMC Material These posts will be removed and the user banned without warning, subject to the discretion of the mod team Learn MoreĪll of the above rules are subject to moderator discretion High Yield MCAT Links You have signed an examinee agreement, and it will be enforced on this subreddit.ĭo not intentionally advertise paid or free products or services of any sort.
