Bros, I have a shit tier GPA from fucking around my first 2 years and now need to score 515+ (520+ preferably) for a chance at med school. I got a 504 on a full length practice exam just last week.

I'm scheduled to take it in 4 months-ish but can always push it back. Any advice from high scorers would be really appreciated, whether it be strategy, content review, etc.

Naw, I'd worry more about midlevels (NP/PA) encroaching than robots taking over. In terms of career stability for the next 50 years, we should be good though.

>Absolute must:
>Go through all official content. Do all full lengths and thoroughly review every question after you finish.

>Probably good:
>Hop on anki (the sooner the better) and try to memorize before your test. Look up ankipalace.
>UWorld for practice questions.

Might help:
Going through one of the MCAT review courses to solidify your understanding of everything. I wasted too much time with review books, and probably should have just used Anki + clarify tough topics with Khan academy or something.

The Bio and Chem/Phys sections are mostly about comprehension and being able to read graphs, so you should focus on developing those skills. Psych/soc felt more memorization heavy. CARS just be able to read, if you aren't able to read now not much will pry change in 4 months. If you are really motivated to get better at reading, here are a few interesting books:

Mimesis by Erich Auerbach (Literary criticism)
About Looking by John Berger (Art criticism)
Modern Philosophy by Roger Scruton (Philosophy)

Goddamn, congrats on the 525! Did you make it MD?

Reading through and actually understanding the scientific passages has definitely been my biggest struggle, so I'll probably focus on practicing with full lengths and Uworld along with some content review until the test.

unironically go on the mcat subrebbit. They have quite a good amount of resources. If you are a brainlet at standarized testing like I am, you might need to take the full 6 months like I did.
