God bless you. My MCAT score goes up every time I watch your videos. Keep up the good work.

Sounds like we need to keep putting them out?? ;)

This was a very difficult passage for me to even understand. I definitely got the tone of the author down. But the questions were tough. I tried simplifying them as i went, and ended up wasting a lot of time on this passage. Even now, with your review, its still hard. I intend to go over it one more time just to pick out how i went wrong and see what i could have done better. My main idea was kind of in line, but more wordy. Thanks for the review

27 was really difficult and could not understand until I watched this video

This is so helpful, I really like how you simplified the passage's main points and helped me understand it even when I did not know most of the difficult descriptive words. English is my second language so this really helped me see how to think through not just passively read the passage! I really hope you can do more CARS passages in this channel. Thank you so much!

These videos are so helpful in showing me some of my worst habits!!! A notorious habit of mine is seeing a word in the question, getting excited, and COMPLETELY skipping the remainder of the question and start choosing answers. In the final question, I saw "authenticity" and thought "I KNOW THIS I KNOW THIS" and chose the wrong answer. :P Now I need to think of a way to break this habit. Any ideas?

[@InformingFutureDoctors]

Yes I have an idea! When you simplify the question stem, lets try taking those words out and replacing them with their idea to see if it still makes sense! If you've seen our strategy video on avoiding traps, you'll remember that there's a strategy I labelled as "Namedropping" where the AAMC authors use a key phrase from the passage to throw the tester off. That's exactly what's happening here so I would suggest you focus on simplifying the question stem to take out the tricky part of the question for you!

@@InformingFutureDoctors Ok! Thanks! Making these mistakes now better be worth it XD

Great videos on cars! any more of these ones?

[@InformingFutureDoctors]

Tons of them! We did the whole sample test and are currently walking through the new AAMC Free Practice Exam that just dropped. Check out our channel for more😊

Hi, I really appreciate how you set up the exams as pdfs when going over them. I've been wanting to do that with my full lengths to take notes on them. How did you convert the sample test to a pdf?

[@InformingFutureDoctors]

I’m sure there’s a smarter way of doing this but screenshotting them is the easiest (albeit labor intensive)

Thank you :)
