I don't even know what to do at this point and feel really demotivated.

I've done the unscored full length last week and it converted to 507 (175 questions correct) 128/126/127/126

It feels like all my sections are just not improving and i'm not sure what is going wrong. I keep doing practice and try strategies for comprehension but clearly they are not translating well onto my practice exams.

I feel so lost and my exam is on Sept 12th

Does anyone have any advice on what to do to improve?

Previously on my full lengths I usually struggled with comprehending passages but honestly right after this exam, for CARS I felt like there were 3-4 passages where I was struggling on comprehension and the questions seem so much harder to predict answers for.

I felt good on the CP so I'm surprised I got that many wrong I'm not sure what even happened in biology I felt like there was a lot of discrete concept questions that were hard for me to wrap around but I thought I deduced it down to the right answer.

For PS there was a lot of trying to understand research designs that I struggled with understanding.

I just finished the AAMC unscored I'm not sure how to feel about the score, I put it through a score converter and it said like 507 the breakdown it gave me was 128/126/127/126

My previous FL I scored a week ago was 504 with breakdowns 127/123/127/127 with the one before being a 499 127/122/125/125

I'm not sure whether to work on specific content or testing skills. I'm definitely happy about the upwards trend thats happening at least it didn't get worse. I've just been doing milesdown + pankow + uworld (85% complete with 65% accuracy). I haven't started any AAMC material yet but I plan on starting with reviewing the FL questions first tmr and not sure how to plan with targetting AAMC material. Do I just start with the question packs or go straight into the section banks?

I'm full time studying with only 1 day of commitment per week up until school starts (Sept 8).

My test date is on Sept 12 so I feel like I have just enough time to do the rest of 6 FL + the question packs

Any advice on both PS and CARS from here till test date?

Any stories on jumping from a 507 to 514 in 4 weeks?

My test date is 7 weeks out. My CARS is consistently around 123. I felt like the passages for the CARS on this FL just felt longer to read and I was running out of time as I remember starting the 6th passage with only 30 minutes left and had to rush through the last 4 passages.

Besides the obvious CARS section, what else can I do to improve? is 515 possible for 7 weeks out? I'm 30% through with uworld and have been doing captain hooks and pankow. I dont plan on starting AAMC material until the 4 week mark.

I scored a 500 on the BP FL1 last week overall timing felt a lot more comfortable for all the sections compared to when I did the BP FL 1.

Any advice would help a lot I'm not sure where to go from here.

Hi, I’m in Vancouver BC and I have a Liz and Leeseo evil Cupid wondering if anyone wants to trade.

It has everything I just unboxed it to see who I got and put everything back into the wrapper and box.

Maybe not venting but I definitely need help. I just did my first full length after doing about 14% of uworld questions with a 64%. My diagnostic was 503 which I had completed a week ago with an even lower CARS score so my overall scoring went down by quite a bit when I had to sit through a full length exam.

I just finished reviewing every question and writing notes on every question i remember having difficulty either understanding or just lacked content.

Most of the questions I was getting wrong was due to not being able to dissect the passage to find the information I needed to answer questions or it had to do with timing.

For C/P, CARS and B/B I used up every single second and felt really rushed especially towards the end. I had multiple questions which took me more than 3 minutes to complete and a lot of it came down to not being able to fully understand the passages or not knowing where to read to efficiently find the information I needed to answer the question. Does anyone have any advice on how to be able to approach these questions better or differently.

P/S felt the best as I never really had to read much of the passages it felt as though almost all the answers were like directly involved in the question or it was not so I could eliminate answers. I ended P/S with around 35 minutes to spare it just was that some questions I had either forgotten about the definition or was having trouble match theories to examples. This I know how to work on myself to improve on.

However for the C/P and B/B section I'm not really sure where to go from here. A lot of questions really were just I was missing something from the passage and it led me to not understand how to answer the question properly.

Will just continuing to do UWORLD help with this? or is there another approach I can take towards my mindset and overall strategy towards taking FL from here on. I have 8 weeks until my test date I feel like I have enough time and currently full time studying.

If you can reply to the post so others can see or even if I can dm you with questions that would be great thanks everyone for all the support

So I just hand cleaned these with some mild soap and warm water with a tooth brush and it doesn’t seem to be getting rid of the chalk residue sitting on top. Is this normal? And how can I remove the chalk? My other pair of instinct vs doesn’t have this problem with the chalk sticking on top like this pair of VSR does

There’s this big dark spot on the shirt and I can’t seem to get rid of it even when I submerge it in water or run it through my laundry.

The dark spot doesn’t appear on the inside only on the exterior.

Anyone have any ideas what it might be?

Might be hard to see but there are these blotches of white stains on my shirt? I don’t recall using any bleach products and wondering what this is? Is this just a bleached spot that has taken out the natural more yellowish colour of the shirt?

I just got this insane deal today for these 2 bad boys sealed in box. I’m honestly so stoked and don’t plan on opening them since I already a built copy of them.

The boxes are honestly in great condition 8.5/10
