This popping up on my homepage randomly after binging 4 hours of anime instead of studying for the mcat is my FBI agent’s way of telling me to get my shit together 😩
I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this but from 4:38 to 5:45 I don’t hear any sound coming from the video. I kinda wanted to know what a lot of people ask and your tip for that lol Overall, thanks for the info you gave in this video. It’s super helpful!
Every single internal medicine doctor I have worked with has told me they regret going to medical school and that medicine is the source of their depression but they can’t just quit. Like I don’t want to be depressed when I’m 59
@@adrienne2838 Med school has been really challenging both mentally and physically. However I am passionate about medicine and know that I will be very happy as a family doc. Dont ever go into medicine if you are not passionate about the field or the specialty you've chosen. There are a lot of jaded docs but far more happy ones
One way to help ppl embrace the 60% material is ..keep moving! The material will repeat so don't get too bogged down on trying to look everything when you first hear about it
Lol as he called out “filling out that fancy spreadsheet” on every wrong question, I was LITERALLY doing just that 👀 But hey, great video. I needed this.
Love the honesty in your title! As a fellow anime lover and casual gamer, it's refreshing to see someone break down the MCAT journey in a relatable way.
Good luck to everyone studying for the MCAT! I hope all your hard (and i guess "lazy") studying pays off! Y'ALL GOT THIS~ going to start studying in January!! Thanks you for the tips!
Not completely lazy here lol but wrapping up my PhD in O.Chem that i need to maximize my time and efforts as I'm prepping for the MCAT. This video is a 💎. So glad I came across it. Thank you very much!
MCAT retaker here, this video is amazing! Didnt bomb my first attempt but due to extraneous circumstances I know I can do better. But figuring out how to change my studying in order to improve my score has been a struggle and your video has already made a lot of my anxiety and stress disappear. Thank you!!
Yes please god I’ve been studying for 3 months and my score has not gone up at all. 😂 this goddamn test has caused me so much mental anguish. I’m firmly stuck at a 501-502. Part of that is that I need accommodations that I don’t have (the aamc makes it incredibly difficult to get accommodations even if you’ve had them throughout university) I run out of time on every section every time with the exception of psych. When I do get through the first 3, it’s because I rushed and went as fast as I possibly could. I took my sixth practice test yesterday, and my frickin score dropped to a 499. I sobbed. I’m not stupid. I have a high gpa in grad school and I am qualified to teach the med students anatomy. But there is something very very wrong. I seriously considered quitting yesterday, which is dumb because I’ve spent 6 years of my life getting to this point, and I’m almost 27. Usually I avoid videos like this because they make me feel bad about myself, but you didn’t. Thanks for that.
7:32 This is me on any and every test, whether its real or a practice, whether I know the material well or not I always overthink and end up getting a lot of the questions wrong when I would have aced the test if I went with my gut feeling.
I'm at 497 :( and really would like to go up about 8-10 points!! I'm planning to retake my MCAT in March, I'll let you know how it goes. The Kaplan course did not work for me, but also my exam got pushed back 4 months because of covid so to say I lost motivation is an understatement. lol
Hey I got a 533 on my MCAT and 2400 clinical service hours, but I still don't feel like I have enough to get into med school. Should I save a cat from a tree or will that not set me apart enough from my Yale competition. Please help!
Simple, logical, I like it. One thing I disagree with though is the diagnostic. It never made sense to me to take it after reviewing, because how do you know what to prioritize without a baseline? Displaying those content weaknesses early allows you to maximize your review early. I thought my Biochem would be one of my worst section on the diagnostic, but I found out my Chem/Phys section was the worst. Without that diagnostic, I guarantee I would've wasted time.
The reason I disagree is that at the point of time ur taking ur diagnostic, although you may find something like gen chem easy, you might've forgotten much of it. It's hard to judge whether your score is due to lack of knowledge or just being Rusty imo. That's why I say diagnostic after
@@yugiohforce1 I appreciate the thoughts - this makes sense to me. I've already taken an initial diagnostic before studying, but I'm actually thinking of taking a re-diagnostic after some studying to get a new baseline. At the end of the day, I get the sense that there is no correct or wrong way to go about it. As long as you know what to prioritize, you should be good. The exam itself doesn't intimidate me as much as the prep does lol
Hello! It looks like you were muted from 4:38 to 5:45 times! is there a way to get that bit? I could not even use closed captions Your video is awesome btw!!! thank you!
hi help the sound cuts out for a minute at like 4:36-5:45 ... is no one else having this problem? It happened on my phone too ??? wtf is happening what did I MISS

YOU ARE THE COMEDIC RELIEF I NEEDED WHILE MCAT PREPPING !!
I was starting to feel a little burnt out between studying and working full time. This video popped up on my feed right on time! Thank you!
I’m glad to see that’s possible I was worried about that
The mnemonics and yield docs have been really helpful! I appreciate you and this video!
Literally you’re saving my life rn I’ve taken it twice and studying always feels so overwhelming. THANK UUUUU
This fucking test is the worst. It’s actual torture.
How did it go the third time?

Same issue

It is because they copyrighted the video on the parts of certain music.

How'd it go??
wearing headphones, the music volume is louder than your person's audio
solid content!

I love how chill you are dude, this really made me feel better and just... hopeful for the future. Thanks :)
You are too kind
We don't know each other but I feel like you're the go-to friend for med school advice lmao.
Bro I have 2 months to do well on my MCAT, thank based god for the YT algorithm brought me here. tbh you got me w anime in the title tho :”)
im not even a medical student but imma watch this XD and i swear this will help me. more power to you josh!!

@@justinpalmer8608 Well I’m in medical school, so it worked out. The Examkrakers reasoning skills saved my CARS score.

This video helped me feel so much less stress about taking this test tomorrow. THANK YOU!🙏🏽
Good luck
I will probably take the MCAT in between a year or two years from now BUT will save this video for the future ;)
same!!
What grade?
I just got accepted into med school - this vid came 4 months too late bc my MCAT was in June, but great tips tho
Beta, you become doctor.
@@joshipatel2821 i see a indian here 👀
Congratulations 🎉
What did you get on the mcat
The algorithm worked again and I found another dope Ytuber!
U have made my day. Now back to naruto
A warrior, a philosopher, and a scholar. Thank you sir 🙏
I’m not giving the MCAT but I saw anime and league so I watched the whole thing. I’m a simple man. I see another man of culture, I watch.
It's worth not skipping through the ads for this dude

everything you said makes so much sense, I feel like I can walk in tomorrow and make a 522. God Bless!

Great video man. Only recommendation is maybe turn down the music volume a bit lol
U are literally a legend for this video man, thank you!
The light on your Pikachu is giving me PTSD. I'm sure it's ok but 10 years ago I left my teddy bear on my lamp and it caught on fire

This was really enjoyable to watch. Thank you for making it fun to study! =D
Wow this so good and just what I needed as I tend to get distracted by k-dramas a lot!
Loved this, thank you for being helpful and not stressful!

no audio on the diagnostic section
"Forget what I'm telling you just do the AAMC" almost half way through the video 🤣🤣

I wish that as well
what grade did you take it in?
@@auahsuleikan9277 I didn't take it until after my 4th year of bach
4:38 to 5:40 got muted : (

This video is god sent ❤️ thank youuu
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN OR WHERE HAVE I BEEN THAT I'M JUST SEEING YOUR VIDS NOW LMFAO. These are awesome tips btw!!!
Did the audio cut out for anyone else orrr????
Taking my mcat in less than two weeks and am terrified. Thanks for this video though lol
i have no idea why I'm here, but i wish all of you luck
audio is dead from 4:50 - 5:47
This man is the undisputed champion of helping the people, while asking for NOTHING in return. Long live Josh Chen!
For those asking about the audio going missing, it’s bc the sound he was using was copyrighted so he needs to take that portion out for monetization
Does the sound cut off for anyone else at 4:39? I checked on both my phone and computer, and it does it in both places
it did for me. I refreshed my page and it still cut off.
Has anyone appreciated the background music yet?
Yess i love it 😂
not this popping up after i binged a new kdrama all day, so thanks for this video :,^]
