Date: June 11th, 2013 10:46 AM Author: sapphire beady-eyed yarmulke serious though, all you smart people on this board who are/know med students who did really well. I am just starting my prep and i'm scoring about a 12 on VR, I think i'll be able to raise that. then is it possible to superstudy your way to 13+'s on BS and PS by systematically nailing down every single possible topic that could show up? i'm thinking about studying until january (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2278855&forum_id=2#23372180) |

practice questions till your eyes bleed. especially the AAMC practice tests (old questions from real tests) |

Date: June 11th, 2013 12:01 PM Author: sapphire beady-eyed yarmulke does more superstudying = better results? i have the kaplan online course (so like 10K questions right there, with all of the AAMC + all of Kaplan's FL's, all of kaplan's books and all their online practice material) + full EK set, most of EK 1001, full TPRH sets (older version and newer ones), full TBR set + all BR full-length exams, nova physics, probably some other stuff too
can i gun my way to a 40+ by doing thousands of questions for the next 7 months? let's say i have 15k questions total (conservative estimate) with at least a few thousand coming from passages. 7 months = 210 days. if i do 50 questions a day + do review of all of them i'll still have questions left over
what do you say? |

Date: June 11th, 2013 12:14 PM Author: slate messiness yes you definitely can superstudy to a 40+ assuming you have at least a 110 IQ. you need to be doing so many questions that once you get to the real deal it's like 2nd nature. the key is to work fast, but not in a rush, and DON'T MAKE ANY SILLY MISTAKES.
if you run out of questions try doing AP chem/physics/bio multiple choice it's pretty much the same subject matter tbh |

Date: June 13th, 2013 12:35 PM Author: sapphire beady-eyed yarmulke does this mean that most people who take this test basically bullshit their prep and have no idea how to really prep? i see people who retake it several times with minimal improvement and it just seems like they're really impatient -- more eager to fluke and get a high score than to go through and learn the ins and outs of the test. would you say the conventional advice about studying for 2 months being enough is wrong? a lot of people are saying that the test is harder and requires more depth of knowledge than some people emphasize ("just the basics of first and second year science"). i know a guy with a 44t who took thermo, physical chem, quantum, etc. not saying that all the extra knowledge and facts helped him, but he had a better theoretical framework to organize the information in his head and had a highly abstract and conceptual understanding that, as a byproduct, made memorization (which i think a lot of premeds do during content review) of facts "easy".
a lot of people also say that you'll forget the material from the beginning of your content review if you study for a long period of time (such as 7 or 8 months). i'm using spaced repetition (gunnertraining & anki) the whole way, though, and i aim to build a deck of flashcards highlighting tips, tricks, etc. i find useful during practice passages and exams. i review using SRS every single day. |

Date: June 13th, 2013 12:40 PM Author: Vibrant Rigpig My buddy took an entire year off to study for the MCAT, travel and work as a handyman. I think he did the superstudy thing for a good four months and he hit 41. He's not a high IQ type either - probably just a regular 125 type bro.
