I'm really interested in pursuing a minor in political science but don't want to tank my gpa for grad school applications. I was wondering if anyone familiar with level I-III polisci courses had thoughts on how feasible it was to consistently 12. For context, I 12ed abld 3ba3 and socpsy 1z03, both of which are relatively bird but I think my writing is decently strong. My main concern is how much your TA could tank your grade even if your work is good/whether its just not feasible to expect to score that high in a more humanities focused discipline

Has anyone taken this? Thoughts on how its run, if its hard to 12, whats it structured like would be much appreciated

Has anyone taken this? It seems interesting and I may need if for a minor. Does anyone know how hard it is/instructor/is it 12able?

For context, Im 20F Nigerian. Starting about the age of 9-12ish my mom and I have had issues. It was at its worst in my early teen years and exacerbated by the fact that my brother has autism but is still very high functioning and in control of his behavior. Wed constantly have our issues and it felt to me like she resented me. Things that come to mind include saying I was cursed/would be cursed, saying people would think I was stupid because I was fat (id always struggled with my weight), telling me if i didnt stop teasing my brother (normal childhood nickname calling) he would kill himself or seriously harm me and it would be my fault. I remember once she was doing an assignment with my sibling and the subject was mental health, and she said I was a narcissist. I will admit I did talk back, but only at what I perceived to be deeply hurtful patterns of behavior. Im sympathetic to the frustration she must feel having sacrificed so much to help my brother get by, and understand that may be the root for some of this. Its important to mention a lot of this ceased when I moved out for uni, and were on better terms most of the time now. It just resurfaces now and then. However, it felt like there was a uniquely hostile reaction to my prescence in the home at times especially as I was growing up.

Almost always whenever I mention how hurtful these words are she says thats simply how African parents talk to their kids, but I dont have a gauge of how accurate that is because I was raised in the west. Theres some things I struggle to reconcile with culture and others i find more believable. For instance, because im the youngest, if theres conflict ill be reminded that im a "small rat," and though this language is only ever used to belittle me Im always told thats just what they call kids in Nigeria. I find that hurt being explained by cultural difference more believable than the more extreme comments, but I guess my question is can anyone attest to how normal this is? I feel like it affected me deeply but I dont want to be overdramatic.

Hi everyone, just got a blood test for another reason and my doctor said my (F20 183lbs, I'm working on it) alanine amino transferase levels were high (36). He said it was probably early stage fatty liver and obviously that's concerning, but im not sure how definitive of a diagnosis this was. I've seen people talk about the progression of the disease and reversing it so I was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable on the condition had insight into how reversible/dire things would be at this point. I'm also looking to start a new diet, my doctor suggested low carb but some online sources say I need to cut them completely, so advice there would also be valuable.

For cards like this am I to memorize the diagram as well or are they just a visual?

I'm trying to figure out how to time my anki. I really really want to use CH but its 7k cards and intensive. I have 3.5 months to study, and here's what I'm leaning to so far

• 1st month: Content review everything. Kaplan for everything but P/S (KA) and CARS (JW to begin, AAMC later). Start Anki from day one
• 2nd month: Should be completely done content review, all new cards seen at start of second month. Over this course of the month, almost entirely practice+anki review. Start FL
• 3rd month: more of second month, more frequent FL.
• Weeks leading up to test: more of the same, more frequent FL (all AAMC).

I plan to start FL practices in 2nd month, spaced out. I'm just wondering when to start practice/how much practice to do/what practice to do each day in content phase, and whether my anki plan is feasible. Idk if its "wrong" or not of that makes sense, I'm still struggling to understand how to use it properly. I've employed it in undergrad but in the worst way possible I'd do an entire deck of a few hundred in like one day sometime in the 10 days to a test, sometimes without even reviewing the content first. It worked and but was insanely time intensive and obviously wont fly for the MCAT. Insight on how to properly use anki/deck presets and what they mean would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone! I feel like the captain hook deck will work best for me but I have a few questions. First, how do you download? I have the static version but I want the most updated one, but I cant seem to figure out how to download it from ankihub. Secondly, what's the timeline supposed to be? Is review solely by anki meant to bleed into practice phase, because I'd like to do content review in one month but people are making it seem unfeasible for the whole CH deck. Thirdly, has anyone used it? I've heard nothing but positive and it looks good to me but I'm always looking for more reviews.

Hello I'm about to create my schedule for full time study with around 3.5 months until my test and I had a few questions.

• Do you anki after every chapter? I plan to do 3-4 topics per day in rotation, so if I were to do a chapter of chemistry would I then immediately do my anki for that topic or wait till end of day after I'd reviewed all of the day's topics and then do the anki for all 3 chapters covered+review
• Thoughts on the 3 topics per day? I wanted to do 4. From what I know there's 12 chapters per kaplan book but it takes varying levels of time to cover a chapter. To avoid boredom I'd prefer to do like 1-1.5 hours daily on each (hoping to do 3 chapters daily) plus anki but idk how feasible this is both due to the time constraints and whether it is ideal.
• For content review, I plan to use Kaplan for C/P and B/B, KA for P/S, and a combination of AAMC and JW for CARS. Thoughts on this current breakdown? Also am I missing something or is CARS just practice passages daily? If so, how many would you recommend.
• Edit, forgot to ask: How do you space out practice? I have the UGlobe QB and plan to get the AAMC online bundle. How many questions per day do you aim for, is it feasible to finish both before my test, and how soon do I start practice? Do I do the QB according to topic each day as I go along from the beginning, start after all content is done, or something in the middle? Also, are there any question resources I am missing?

For further context, I have some experience in all areas but predict my P/S and B/B are probably really weak. I know I have the capacity to learn the former more quickly but the latter is my main concern. I'm a total beginner and honestly a little overwhelmed with just starting so any insight would be very very much appreciated.
