Watching this gives me the courage to stay positive during my preparation, thank you!!
Glad to see you're back! Our university has been online since the beginning of semester 1 and now semester 2 in Australia. Looks like the whole year is online... a unique experience. Hope you're doing super well! :)
currently at RIT (off campus) and in my third year! generally, its been safe, but definitely anticipating that changing in the next two weeks because anything could happen. stay safe and best of luck!

The queen finally uploaded!

“I want to take a nap... but I have to study” OH MY GOD I relate to that so much it hurts
I’m so nervous for the MCAT. It’s 3 am right now and I’m writing an essay about issues in modern medicine. I wish you the best of luck. ❤️
Love this video!
I adore u!!
Instead of typing, you could add the Uworld explanation you need into a flashcard (select text - right-click - put in flashcard) and then copy-paste into Anki.
That's a great tip :-) I think condensing the explanation helps with learning though!
Wow, impressive. Good luck with your exam
Kinda unrelated but can you do more study w me’s? Theyre super motivational and i rlly liked the last one!
I missed you🥺♥️
missed you!
hii i'm thinking of doing pre-med @ cwru and your videos are super super helpful. thank you so much for all your awesome advice!
Good luck!! This showed up on my recommended lol I took it 8/7
i’m graduate from undergrad next year ( 2022 )and woof the way i’m STRONGLY thinking about taking a gap year. i’m a junior. university of arizona is going on campus but delayed in person for a week but this week they’re doing small in- person stuff.
I have no interest in going to med school but this video was FASCINATING!
May Gao the best STUDENT ever!
Hii thanks for making this video! I’m about to dive into UWorld this week and was thinking of doing the same as you by making anki cards as I review! Do you make them for just the incorrect ones or all? Also, are your headphones noise cancelling headphones or do you like to listen to music as you study?
How did you organize the info whewn you did reviews? Did you make a spreadsheet/organize in a google doc? Also, how long did you spend on each question during review/how many notes did you take per review?
May Gao + UWorld. Name a better duo. I'll wait.
@legitxo
Do you only study with Uworld and Anki or do you use the set of books as well?
I'm planning on taking the MCAT soon but need to figure out my study plan. If you don't mind could I see a copy of your study plan/excell sheet and reference off of it so I can then customize it the way that would work for me?
omg I need this soo bad @bouchhb!!
Oh! And can you make a video about useful resources for each premed course (like gen chem, physics, etc!)
Sure! I honestly didn't use that many outside resources, but you might find this video helpful in the meantime: ua-cam.com/video/RO9vFfGXpS0/v-deo.html
Ty :)
woahhh ur editing is crazyyy!! especially the intro!! pls make a how I edit video?
- honeypot films
I just use Procreate for the animations :)
Can I use my meal plan for organic food? Thinking of applying.
Hello I'm Rahma, 😊 from Indonesia. Always nice to see your content alone or with friends, looks so beautiful. I want to ask what major did you take at Brown university? And is this for undergraduate or post graduate?
Studying for it too. Taking it in January RIP
Hey! Do you have any recommendations for affordable wireless keyboards? The full-size ones from logitech that I've seen are on the pricey side and i just want something to use for mcat practice. The cheaper ones from amazon also don't have the best reviews. Thanks!
I have the Logitech solar (can find on Walmart for $35), which is a good investment imo!
when do you suggest that I should start Uworld? I am testing in Jan, half way through content review. THanks!
Probably 2 months out if you want a leisurely pace (there are 2000 qs total)
Amazing video! Good luck on your Mcat exam. I’m a third year PharmD. student so I know what you’ve gone through to study and get the good scores for medschool. You’ll do amazing. I’m considering buying the Anki card app. Is it worth spending 24.99? Please let me know 😅
I totally think it’s worth it! I use it anywhere and everywhere. But if you’re mainly on your laptop during the day anyway then I’d pass :)
How did you get the time tracker on google sheets? Is there any chrome extension?
I made my own! i might make a public copy in a future video so y’all can use it as a template if you’d like
Do you mind doing an overview of your mcat tracker that you have??
Maybe in a future video! It's mainly just simple Excel functions (i.e. subtracting date1 from date2 to get days left)
@yizzieding :)) you got dis may!!!
You got this girl! I'm so overwhelmed right now with studying, but we got this! How are you time managing now with classes starting and studying for the mcat?
IG: @elikamo
My classes start after my exam!
Hi May! I'm getting around 70% on uworld....Would you say that an accurate reflection of the actual exam? I'm a little discouraged :( and been trying to improve my score and kinda stuck.
Don’t worry about the UWorld percentages! It’s definitely not expected to get in the 90% for UWorld (I pretty much never did). Your percentage also may highly depend on the number of questions you’re doing at a time. The point is, focus on learning and gauge your preparation from AAMC material.
@@MayGao thank you May!
You are grinding so hard for a 7 and a half hour exam while I am winning about SAT as a high schooler . . . I am ashamed ㅠㅠ lol GG
I plan on taking the MCAT early next year and finding the motivation to study is so hard some days. Good luck on the MCATs! IG: @anotherpersaud
Hi May! Did you use pre-made decks or did you make your own?
I made and used my own!
@@MayGao also, when did you start using UWorld?
@@cindyshirld I started using it about 1.5 months out from my exam date. I finished most of it in a little over 2 weeks.
@leinadeel
Can u please make a video on how you use Anki 😔
Sure! Would definitely recommend other channels (AnKing) for setup though :)
are you taking a gap year or applying this cycle?
gap year
Damn, I'm back at my parents in Providence right now, because Columbia is all online. Taking MCATs in early 2021. I don't have Instagram (bc I also deleted all my social media)!! Can we be in touch some other way? Or can I give you the handle of a friend of mine? Thanks so much! Good luck studying. Happy you're going to have the option taking the shorter exam!
Sure, you can send me an email! (my email is in the description)
I have SUCH a love/hate relationship with Anki!!
IG: @elaijahislam
Good luck!! I’m elbows deep in studying for the MCAT too! Also, thanks for showing how you format your anki cards!!
@danirabeslic
Do you have a discount code for UWORLD?
I don't unfortunately!
@@MayGao did you use UWORLD for CARS?
Yes, I did all the CARS questions. I think Jack Westin may be a slightly better resource for CARS (and it's free).
Omg so glad I saw this! Thankyou for showing how Uworld is and its unique features other then just saying we should get it for prep
gautamcity818 thankyou!!
Congratulations on taking the MCAT! I’m sure you did a phenomenal job! I hope you get to rest a bit before school kicks in :) @joo_joobb

I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU 😭😭 My test date is Sept 28!! I’m like 70/30 on rescheduling for January because I’m not feeling too hot about my level of preparedness. @kathryynann
I felt that way too! I’d take an AAMC FL and not reschedule if it’s within 3-5 points of your goal
Thanks so much for doing this!
