Always found my retention of info improves significantly when I hand write it. Certainly not more efficient in the short term but it helps my longer term productivity. Anyone else avoiding that switch to fully online notes?
Quick disclosure upfront, I built this thing so take it as it is.
Three things I couldn't stand from my MCAT journey.
First, they are boring as shit, mundane, and wildly expensive. I don't come from money or anything close to it, so I could never afford those "premium" resources. Pretty ironic for a field that focuses so heavily on equality...
Second, I didn't know how to use my data. It was very helpful for showing me what I still needed to study, but it did nothing to show me how close I was to actually being ready to take the test.
Third, yes they are reputable resources, and sometimes the explanations are half decent, but those explanations are all you got. I always wished there was an attached citation or link to further explore the exact published data that discussed the answers.
For those reasons I built ProgressNote. It's a FREE full 2000 question verified bank with explanations all linked to a direct published citation when free and available. It has baked in spaced repetition and adaptive difficulty in your questions, something verifiably beneficial as seen with Anki. I've also had several high end professionals build and verify 13 specific measurement scores based on performance to tell you EXACTLY where you stand. These include Predicted Test Score, Exam Readiness, Burnout Index Score, etc.
Most importantly it's ENTIRELY FREE. No cc, no ads, no nothing. I can't stress it enough, this is meant to level the playing field against those $650 UWorld subscriptions. Take it for a spin and let me know how to improve it for the years to come!! DM me if you ever have specific questions -

Anyone have experience with Azure? I have a website written in Claude, hosted on GitHub. Looking to deploy and saw Netlify and Cloudfare as main options. Wondering if anyone has experience with Microsoft Azure, what it's best for, and if it would be worthwhile transferring to -
Over the last few months I've been creating the code for a website in Claude. Im a lay-person when it comes to code. No prior experience but very happy with the current design. I'm getting to a point where I'm near ready to deploy, but the local file is massive and I'm not able to upload directly into GitHub from what I can see. The repo says it's too large.
Trying to figure out the best way to deploy this website. It's multiple very large folders. Any advice?
I'm OVER these boring ass study resources that don't show me anything helpful. UWorld is the closest thing we have and I still have to analyze all my own data. Nothing actually tells me where I'm at in my process vs where I should be.
And it's all so mundane. Sure studying is supposed to be serious and focused but bring me back to my Poptropica days fr.
Rant over. Sorry. I'm just tiredddd
PGY-1 here. How in the world does anyone save money during residency. I'm torn between paying back loans, investing in the market, owning v renting, etc. I have about $5k in savings and no car payment. Not sure if there's any advice out there for people just starting!
