This is the first MCAT video I've seen that I can relate to and offers real, unbiased advice! Love it. Thank you for the strategies, studying tips, and links, I'm using this as my prep guide!
I am planning on taking my MCAT next year and starting Nursing school for my undergrad degree this year as well. It's gonna be tough but I ain't giving up yet. Thanks for the video. It definitely cleared up my mind. Will be following along on your journey.
this was a great video with very realistic advice. I wish I had found this earlier. Congratulations on your acceptance to MED school and thanks for giving back to the community.
Thank you for making this video! I wasn't sure how exactly to start studying for it but the way you explained it makes it so much more easy to plan out :)
I am in the process of watching all your videos since they are informational ;) I should've initiated with this one bc it is filled with the Information I am in search of these days! Thank you!! Greetings from San Diego. Best wishes, young man :)
This was so informative! Definitely gained a subscriber (: I will be sure to share your channel, I feel so lost as a pre-med and watching this video lessened my anxiety!!!!
i really like how you touch base on having things you are committed to outside of school. This is the first video i have watched where i actually relate to. Thank you!!.
What advice would you give someone that is an RN, been out of school for 5 years and wants to transition into med school?? I was pre-med before but went into nursing. However, finishing pre-reqs and the MCAT, in general, is so overwhelming 😮💨
@@ryanmoalemi7783 Under no circumstances should anyone go to a Caribbean medical school unless they've failed 2 cycles in the USA/Canada. Under no circumstances should anyone EVER take a post-bacc course at a Caribbean school because if you can't get accepted directly into a Caribbean school you shouldn't be attending at all.
@@dlvyadarshlnl Hard to say, took it about a week ago so I have a while until I get my score back. Definitely had the feeling that the Chem/Phys section was much harder than my practice tests, but i think this is a natural feeling.
This guy makes it look easy and I know it isn't. I would take notes and duplicate everything this guy did if I were serious about getting into a good medical school.
I love this video! It’s so informative and gives such real advice, that I feel like most people don’t get at all! Your score, is the score I actually I ideally want, of course everybody says that probably, but this is the score I kind of need to probably have a good shot an MD school! Most people I’ve heard who get this high of score say that practice problems are really really key and eventually content doesn’t do anything for you just to keep worrying and focusing solely on it. Also I’ve heard people who get like 98%-100% score ranges say that focusing on the low low yield topics or details of say ochem or physics benefits you and you basically have to do this otherwise you don’t have a good chance of getting this high of score. What is your opinion and thoughts on this?
I agree that practice problems are critical but the reason I hesitate sometimes in emphasizing their importance is that people use it as an excuse to slack on content because "there's no way I can memorize it all anyway". But if you're doing your best then yes I agree and I also agree that you should get to the point where (after high yield info is down) you also focus on low yield info because that's another thing that's going to separate you from the pack imo. hope that helps!
Can you please make a video about the extracurricular activities you did as a premed student. What counts as a clinical experience and how to balance and get into what kind of extracurricular activities can help you succeed as a medical school applicant? thanks
Ahmad Shahin for sure! I’ll be a bioengineering freshman in school this year. I’m hoping to become a physician. I was wondering if you think I should look into getting a bioengineering internship next summer or try and work as a cna/ma or as an ems worker. Would an internship at a place working on cardiac devices or something of the sort (health-care related bioengineering internships) do the same for me on my medical school apps as direct patient-care jobs?
Thank you for the video I’m literally using it as a guide for my mcat prep! Quick question. Before doing content review I scored a 495 on blueprint and after doing it I scored a 497. My goal is a 510 but I feel like I’m doing something wrong. Would you say I’m in the right path or I need to study harder?
Hey brother, I was wondering if you had a document or could make a quick video of your set schedule you stuck to when you were studying for the MCAT. Trying to get my ducks in a row and come up with a good strategy of attack!
Hi Ahmad! Thank you for the video, it's super informational and made me feel a lot better about studying for the MCAT! Do you offer online tutoring/guidance?
Hey Ahmad, thanks for the great video. At 13:07 you recommend taking a practice full-length exam before diving into the Kaplan books. So are you recommending that I start off mcat prep with a Next Step full-length rather than the half-length diagnostic test? Thanks for all you do. I'm about to start studying for this headache this winter.
yes I think the full length is better because it gives you a better idea of what you're in for (it can be a tiring exam) and it'll give you a more accurate idea of where you're at. You've got this!!!
I am a junior this year and plan on taking the MCAT in January (after completing biochemistry) and am wondering the best way of going about studying. I purchased UWorld one year subscription and have the Princeton Review book set. I am very involved during school with many leadership positions, so I want to plan efficiently. I started studying last week with practice questions but want to do it the best way possible
after medical school is residency where you do get payed! you can look up what a resident makes where you live but in general it's not much compared to a doctor's salary so you still have to live frugally especially if you have debt
Hi, thank you for your video! I was wondering which practice exam (i.e., source) should I take before my content review? I’m planning on taking it this summer and I want to plan ahead with your videos☺️
What are your thoughts on taking organic chemistry over the summer? It would be only 1 month.... but the only class I would be taking. 5 days a week for 1 hour and 40 minutes a day..plus lab...Maybe I can even email the teacher this spring and get on good terms with him and start getting information early to study for?
summer courses can be tough but if you're ready to make it your priority then it's not a bad idea! and it never hurts to have a good relationship with the professor!
Hi Ahmad, I'd love if you could do a video on nontraditional (and older - 30 y/o) students studying for the MCAT or applying to med school. Also, do you recommend or use ANKI cards? What are your thoughts?
You’re a genius guy, And thank you for the helpful information of the mcat I have a question is every MCAT version of books different than the other, For example if I have to take the exam in the year 2024 can I study for the Books version of 2022 or 2021.
Every year comes with minor corrections and updates so it's not that big of a difference year to year except when they changed the entire format of the MCAT in 2015. So unless they don't do that again a book that's 1, 2, or 3 years old should be fine!
I am in dental school and have been learning head and neck anatomy and introductory medicine courses, but I have not touched an organic chemistry or biochem textbook in like 4 years :/ I am not happy being in dental school and plan on taking the mcat and applying to med school. I am so nervous.
I did relatively well but I would say from personal experience that it doesn't matter what you got, it mostly depends on how hard you're willing to study
Great question Seri! I think 6 months will be plenty; going longer has diminishing returns. Just be sure to stay consistent and you'll do great within that timeframe
I would say it depends on your scheduling more than anything else, as long as you study it well during prep time I don't think a few months will make a big difference
@@AhmadShahin Ive heard biochem is super important for the MCAT, as it shows up a bunch. If I take it while studying for the MCAT, do you think that would be an issue?
@@ioanagache449 I would recommend taking it before for sure but it's not a disaster to take it at the same time, especially if you finish the semester before the MCAT
I recommend going off of what you have in your content review book rather than your physics class as there is no guarantee they will teach what is on the MCAT
I'm a current nursing student and I plan to go to med school after i get my BSN inshallah. My question is, do you think I should take Organic Chem, Gen Chem, Bio Chem, and Physics ?
@@AhmadShahin the thing is some schools in socal don’t need those pre reqs and if to take them after my BSN (because i don’t think that i could handle them with my nursing classes and clinicals) it’d take at least another year and some to finish those reqs.
@@sausansharkas8028 If that's the case then I'm assuming you have a foundational knowledge of those courses since you got into nursing school, but honestly I don't want to give you any bad advice and it depends on so many things (would you be prepared for the MCAT, are you willing to limit which schools you apply to, etc.). I don't know if I'm going to be able to give you the best answer, I think this is one of those times where you need to make the best decision for you. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful!!
Bro, so I’m on day two of MCAT studying and I’m trying figure out a the best way to study the content in the Kaplan books. So, when you were reading the Kaplan books did you take notes on anki or just write them down?, and did those concept checks at the end of each chapter help out much?
I think anki is good for retaining information but maybe not for learning it the first time around (in a lot of cases). Everyone learns differently so I can't know for sure what works for you but yes I did go through all the Kaplan Books while taking notes at least once
Hi I noticed that the link you provided for the Khan Academy MCAT Psych/Soc videos only brings you to the Behavior section. Are the other sections (Individuals and Society, Society and culture, and Social Inequality) not material the AAMC expects you to know?
How long did it take you to get through Kaplan books while taking notes on each chapter? I’m self studying for biochem, but almost done with it! I have about 3 more months left.
Everyone will get through them at a different rate, depending on their study timeline and how familiar they are with the material but it sounds like you're doing a great job! keep it up!!
Hey! Can I use an older version of the Kaplan books? I have an online version of the Kaplan books made in 2014 which were designed for the 2015 MCAT exam. Thank you!
I would say those are probably outdated, especially because the MCAT was redisigned in 2015. you don't need the newest books, but maybe those are a bit too old
Hi! I have been trying the KAPLAN behavior science videos and they’re very easy to follow! The problem is that whenever I answer the questions for each section, some of them were never mentioned in the videos. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I need additional resource for this section.
My pleasure! Is this cell biology course an advanced or introductory course? You need two semesters of biology but I'm not sure how your school breaks it up
@@AhmadShahin I would say it is a little advanced as it is a 300 level course. I took general bio, organismal bio, anatomy 1 and 2, and genetics. So was wondering If I have to take cell bio too.
@@tejamanaswini592 that sounds perfect! I don't think you need to take cell bio before unless you'd like to. If you're still not sure, take a look at one of the biology prep books (since you'll need to get MCAT prep books anyway) and see if you think you have any major gaps in your knowledge
"The mcat is hard and the mcat is important"
I’m in highschool and I searched the mcat one time and I cannot escape this ad.

Is their OChem Genchem in med school. I would like to know this because I need to prepare mentally for it :(

@@AhmadShahin I would say it is a little advanced as it is a 300 level course. I took general bio, organismal bio, anatomy 1 and 2, and genetics. So was wondering If I have to take cell bio too.
@@tejamanaswini592 that sounds perfect! I don't think you need to take cell bio before unless you'd like to. If you're still not sure, take a look at one of the biology prep books (since you'll need to get MCAT prep books anyway) and see if you think you have any major gaps in your knowledge
@@AhmadShahin Thank you!!
Very useful, thank for sharing your journey.
Glad it was helpful!
