Congrats on your dream score

Love love love! been following you for a while and taking FL every week. Question- did you study on your work days or were these your days "off"

[@itslifebymaggie]

so glad you enjoyed! My work days were days "off" as far as MCAT studying, but I used those days to work on my primary application, like writing my personal statement, extra-curricular essays, emailing professors for LORs, etc!

Hey Maggie! Thank you so much for this video, I saw this on my feed at the perfect time! I was just wondering how many months did it take for you to study?

[@haileystone5499]

How do you recommend taking notes with the Kaplan books? Should I just jot notes based off the objectives associated with each chapter/section?

[@FlynaijaGuy]

Commenting to hear what she says. I also am using the Kaplan books

[@Tahassaleem]

love the vidoe! keep posting.

[@kryzyamichelle5876]

as for phase 2 for example biochem questions and biology questions.. where did you do these question? from U world?

[@nataliesalazar4108]

Hey Maggie, for content review sample schedule, you said read chapter 7&8 from 10am to 12:30pm. So you recommend continuing to biology chapters 9&10 for the next day or would you think it’s better to switch to a different Kaplan book?

[@itslifebymaggie]

Great question! So for me, I would do a different subject the next day BUT that isn't to say you couldn't continue biology the next day if that is what worked for you. I liked to have my 3 day rotation because then I felt like I was learning everything equally versus getting really good at one subject and not even starting one of the subjects until I was done with a whole book in another subject. So for me I had that "bio/chem/psych" rotation so if bio day was biology Ch. 8&9, then the next day would probably be gen chem ch. 8&9, then the next day psych ch. 8&9 Then I would restart my rotation, except then I would probably do biochem ch. 8 & 9 on bio day, ochem chapters on chem day, and sociology chapters on "psych" day. THEN the following three days I would go back to that bio book. so bio day = ch. 10 & 11, chem day = gen chem chapters... and so on. Hopefully that makes sense! So "bio" day included biology and biochem books and "chem" day included gen chem and ochem books

[@itslifebymaggie]

oh and since physics also falls under the "chem" section, I would sometimes do it on chem days and sometimes do it on psych days since psych is a pretty easy section and didn't need as much time/attention as the others did

[@sara-qs2op]

do you recommend private tutoring for someone who has already taken the MCAT and scored sub-500?

[@moniqueoliveira8012]

Hey Maggie, how many times a week did you use this schedule? I remember you said you were also working full time while studying...

[@itslifebymaggie]

I had 3-4 study days per week!

[@ZoeZeniou]

Is it ok to use khan academy solely for content review??

[@abdullahalsubaiei9170]

I sleep at 8 am is that possible?
