Thank you Rex, really appreciate the open advice. I'm taking my MCAT in a month and your channel has been amazing. Just a quick question, do you have any strategies for tackling physics/chemistry passages? Those are my weak points so far.
I personally didn't use a ton of strategy for physics/chemistry. My best advice would be to get as much exposure to practice questions in a test setting as you can. Good luck!
Thanks for the video. I have been “studying” since January, and my test is in May. However, I haven’t been studying as seriously as I should’ve been, due to my undergrad classes, my job, and research. I know I will be able to effectively study once the semester ends. Should I cancel my MCAT and take it at a later date? And if so, should I also not apply this cycle since I won’t be able to get my application in as early as I’d hoped?
I think it would be very reasonable to cancel a May MCAT and push it back to June sometime if you decide for sure you want to apply this cycle. However, in that case, I'd recommend submitting your primary before you get your score back. Here is my typical youtuber recommending their own videos recommendation that hopefully helps and address something near your situation: ua-cam.com/video/hETIEUlqKeY/v-deo.html Good Luck!
I’m taking my MCAT on June 19th, I’ve been doing content review since January 11th because I was initially planning on doing it in early May but I didn’t get a spot. I’m planning on doing question banks and full length exams from April to June and fill in the gabs in content, would you say that’s a good plan?
Sounds like a good plan to me. A first test is a first test. It's totally normal to have a really rough first test, but it seems like you took those results and made a solid plan based on it which is the best you can do. Good luck!
Excellent video, Dr. Rex. Just ordered my Kaplan books + the standalone one (Kaplan 528 or whatever it's called). How quickly would you recommend one go through each book if there were around 4 months to study? I will probably skip the psych/soc book for the OCD doc and other resources lol. I had a 3.97gpa in undergrad, but it's been more than a year for some of the courses. Also, I have not taken biochem. The school I really want to get into (near me and my family) only recommends taking biochem. I did very well in o-chem I &II, so I'm hoping I can muddle on through biochem myself.
Best of luck in your studying! Congrats on your awesome GPA! I would try to get through them in around a month, I think the sooner you can get to the specific content review/practice stage in your studying, the better.
Great video...I made a 498 and have a 4.0 GPA....dont want to take MCAT again..heard from a few schools wanting secondaries but no interviews as of yet..do you recommend sending an update letter of some kind ?
im hoping secret #1 is true, cause like ik im not this dumb but Princeton smacked me w a 492, and blueprint hit me with a 499. im planning on taking the 4 aamc fls in the next upcoming days, especially as my test is literally in 9 days.
You mentioned that you would’ve studied the MCAT bros notes on psychology/sociology over anything else. Is that just the Final PDF they have in Dropbox? I’m seeing multiple documents. Thanks for the super helpful video!
Dropped a gem with that "take the 2nd test first" advice.
Absolutely!
Great content-2022 applicant here and I’ll be following you. Thanks.
Thanks! I wish you all the success and hope I can help you along the way.

Your welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
This made me feel better cause I was studying my butt off but not doing great and it was making me super depressed and frustrated.
Glad the video helped some. Stay positive!
Can you give the stepwise approach on how to start to review for MCAT
Thank you Rex I'm studying for my MCAT !
That's awesome! Hopefully I was helpful. You'll do great!

Also I took Kaplan’s first diagnostic test and i scored very very bad and I’m kinda worried that I won’t be able to achieve a 515+

Do you take notes on content review? there's so many notes to take down.
Do you always wear collared shirts on purpose? They look great, but just curious!
Usually just what I wear to zoom class everyday, but also intentional. Trying to look somewhat professional lol.
Thank you and Congratulations!!!
You're welcome and thanks!
With the KA doc, how did you memorize it? Did you just read it over and over??

Do you know any RN's to MD's?

does enlargement pill actually work
I don't know. You should probably ask a real doctor lol.
If I am a junior right now, when should I aim to take the MCAT in time?
Check out this video for hopefully that answer: ua-cam.com/video/vOmvA2_Owr8/v-deo.html
I also hate the Princeton Review ads at this point😂
Goated Doctor Rex
Thanks!!
