I’m just needing some help. I had not sure exactly if I’m doing it correctly. It feels very long and now I’m having these due cards which I’m assuming are like cards I more or less know.
If someone can just give me an overview how I’m supposed to go through Anki
If you had to retake the Mcat within three months and implement Anki for 1 to 2 hours maximum day, which deck would you choose and why?
If you only have three months to study and implement Anki 1-2 hours a day which deck would you choose and why?
So I have been using a high-yield guide, only looking at high-yield topics. And I’ve been looking. Anking Mcat deck and it’s so much more material than I’ve even reviewed in a sense.
I guess my question is which decks are really essential for the Mcat which should I just not even review? Or which by majority is like the best deck ? Sorry if that a dumb question
I’ve been using a high-yield guide as my main source of MCAT content review, and I feel like it has covered probably around 80% of the content I’ve actually been seeing in UWorld and on full-length exams.
Now I’m using the AnKing MCAT deck to try to fill in the remaining gaps.
My concern isn’t really that 5,000 cards is “too many.” If going through all 5,000 is genuinely useful, I’m willing to do it.
What I’m unsure about is whether it’s actually worth learning every single thing in the deck.
There are some AnKing cards where I’ll read them and think, “I have literally never seen this topic or this level of detail come up in UWorld or on any of the full-lengths I’ve taken.”
Some of the cards get very specific, and because I’ve never learned that particular detail before, I sometimes have to stop doing Anki, look up the topic, learn what the card is even talking about, and then come back to it.
So for people who scored well: did you actually find it worthwhile to go through the entire AnKing MCAT deck?
Or would it make more sense to use AnKing selectively to fill content gaps while focusing most of my time on UWorld/AAMC questions and making my own cards from the things I miss?
I’m basically trying to figure out where the line is between “lower-yield content that is still worth knowing” and “detail that probably isn’t worth spending a lot of study time on.”
I’m scheduled for Sept 11 and I’m already inside the 10-day deadline, so I can’t reschedule.
My last 4 AAMC FLs: 485, 489, 487, 488. Latest was roughly 120 C/P, 122 CARS, 122 B/B, 124 P/S.
I’ve gone through about 90% of the content at least once. Physics/math is still a major weakness, but I also feel like passage processing, graphs/experiments, and getting stuck between the last 2 answer choices are holding me back.
At this point I’m considering:
Take it and score it
Take it and void for the real test-day experience
No-show and plan for January
I’m leaning toward January because obviously my FL scores aren’t where I want them, but I feel like I’m somewhat close to a breakthrough and don’t know how to approach another ~3 months without just restarting everything.
I also have 2 unused AAMC FLs left. Would you save them for January or use one before Sept 11?
For anyone who has been in a similar spot, what would you do? And if I go to January, would you focus mostly on UWorld + reviewing old FL mistakes + targeted weak-content review, or something different?
