Hi everyone. I am planning on applying this upcoming cycle. I took my first MCAT in May 2022 and got a 500 (128, 121, 127, 124). I then retook it in Sep of the same year and got 507 (130, 121, 129, 127). I was satisfied with my score except for the CARS section :( I did not improve on CARS at...

Hi everyone! I'm starting my content review for the MCAT which I'm planning to take on January 21st. I'm thinking about doing 1-2 passages 6 days a week. What do you guys recommend I do? What resources do you all recommend? Thank you so much

Will reading articles in Cell or Nature help me for CARS??

I've been reading 3 JW CARS passages per day for about a month now, but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I know everyone says CARS improvement is slow, but I'm starting to feel like I need to branch out. I have the Kaplan CARS book since it came with the full set, but I've been avoiding...

Hello everyone. I'm a nontrad who recently started a premed track, and I've only taken General Human Anatomy and General Biology 1. From what I've read around on SDN, r/MCAT, and r/PreMed, CARS seems to be one of the more troublesome sections for a lot of people, and also takes the longest to...

All books are entirely unwritten in and are gently used. There are no markings whatsoever in any of the books. Books include: The Berkeley Review 2018 ed. complete science set (Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Physics, and Biology - 8 books) MCATBros charges $300... mine are $278 in...

Hello, I recently purchased CARS volume 1. I've been doing Princeton Review passages (form the new book). The strategies are meh, but I'm mainly using it for practice. I just purchased CARS volume 1 and am looking to do that. I've been doing well on the Princeton passages (missing at the most 2...

so I noticed the lack of a Facebook group and also of any posts/threads for Pod WesternU students that commute to school. I’m an incoming 1st year (yay class of 2023) and I’m looking for advice/options/guidance on how people go about organizing carpools, if there is a website or page already for...

I ordered Princeton Reviews "3rd edition" but the Bio and CARS books are "2nd edition" WTF!! What does that mean?! Did Amazon mess up?! Do I need to return them to get the 3rd edition?? (I know it prob doesn't make a difference but I'd like to get what I Paid for)! please help TIA

I'm sure this question gets asked a lot, but i'm getting pretty frustrated with the CARS section and need some guidance. On almost all the full lengths I've taken (AAMC, PR, etc.) I've consistently been getting 123 on the CARS section. I've tried some techniques from youtubers, and princeton...

When I select answers for the CARS passages, I feel like I'm guessing on almost all my answers. I am only certain of my answer choices a few times throughout the CARS sections. I'm doing decent on the CARS Q-packs and I also did decent on the PR review CARS sections. Its not like im missing a...

Hello, I have a well-documented learning disability and was recently approved for extended time on the MCAT, with 1.5x standard conditions. Reiterating that the basis for my receiving this is well-founded, I would be interested in how any CARS high scorers or ostensible extended-time CARS...

Alrighty folks just got word of my mcat score and a bit disappointed 508 (128/123/127/130) As you can see everything else is fine but CARS killed me...if I had even scored an average 125 then I would be happy ugh!! I've never scored that low. Is an uneven breakdown a red flag? On AAMC, I scored...

So, my aptitude falls into the science side of things, but I’ve been intentional to round myself out with good experiences. What do you all think, does my CARS score kill my chances? Where would you put me on the competitiveness spectrum? -MCAT: 512– 131/124/130/127 -BCPM GPA: 3.90 (3.95 were...

Scoring around 80 percent on the NS108 Section Tests (1/2), which according to them is a 127/128. Did anyone score on AAMC similar to NS108?

.

Can someone tell me how they would approach this problem? I still have trouble seeing the logic behind it and how to actually arrive at the answer

Scored 131 on both AAMC FL 1 and 2 in CARS. I have not done any CARS practice outside of this. Could it be a fluke? I don't want to waste time, but I fear that maybe I have just been lucky and I am not as well prepared as it seems. I'm one month out from the exam. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi! I was reading Nymeria's MCAT study schedule and saw that she recommended the EK 101 Verbal. In other forums I've seen people saying that the new EK101 CARS is bad, and that the old EK 101 Verbal is better. Currently EK sells EK 101 Verbal on their website, but does anyone know if they've...

Selling “CARS BIBLE” - TPRH verbal workbook No highlights or notes or marks. It’s the best and most classic practice for CARS section. Selling it for $145 (I initially bought it for $160). Message me if you’re interested!

Hello everyone, I am a new member to SDN. So today I come seeking the advice of anyone who may have some helpful insight to this beast of a test. My honest goal here is to score a 507 or higher. I am currently a month out from my MCAT exam date, and I am just beginning the AAMC Practice...

I just took my first TPR MCAT full length exam after doing 2 months of pure content review and a few practice passages occasionally. I scored a 499 (123/123/127/126). The content review was mainly just taking the TPR online classes and reading through the TPR book set. All practice passages that...

For this question, if the passage implies nothing about transitivity, does that mean we can just ignore that part of the question stem? My first instinct would be to keep looking for an example of transitivity in order to fulfill that criteria of the question stem. Could this be a general rule...

I have a 509 (127/124/127/131) MCAT with a competitive GPA. I am working on solidifying my school list and was wondering...Is it worth applying to schools with a 125 CARS as their 10th percentile? I don't want to be throwing money away obviously if they won't consider my application bc of my 124...

Hello, I just got into medical school and no longer need these books. I will use venmo for shipping costs and payment; I send you a text with picture of tracking number and date, then you just send me the money via Venmo app. I am selling all the books listed in the pictures, which includes...

So i was wondering since we have 5 uses for the AAMC CARS. What if i want to do 2 passages a day, is that possible?

Are TPRHyperlearning questions similar to AAMC questions? I find that some of their answers to the tests at the end are just way off - you can't reliably draw the same conclusions each time. I'm going to buy the AAMC questions.

Hey guys! So I'm testing on May 19th and have run through all of Kaplan's practice passages and most of the AAMC CARS questions pack 1. I was not a fan of the CARS QP1 because the passages were unrealistically short and almost all of the passages were only 5 questions. Looking at QP2, I'm...

hi colleges and physicians, i am in desperate need of help with the CARS section of the MCAT. I graduated with honors 3.9 GPA bachelors in biology emp in Neuroscience and minor in Chemistry. I have attempted to raise my verbal score over the last 2 years and on the old system only managed a...

I am re-taking the test on June 2nd. I have always been bad at CARS (I've been stuck at a 124-125). Since I knew that I'm bad in this section from my previous test, I've been consistently practicing CARS since last October. When I do each passage on its own, and when I take my time on a passage...

Hey gang, Two things: 1) I've been using the latest TBR CARS book and usually scoring only 60%. I assume that is not good. I then dug up my old "EK 101 passages in MCAT VR" book and tried those and did significantly better, 78% (keep in mind this is an old book and was designed for the old...

So I just took the Next Step FL 3 and got a 504 (126/123/127/128). I know my CARS on this exam was bad, but I heard that a lot of other people also did badly in CARS on this exam. I just wanted to know with my actual MCAT about a month away how accurate are NS FL scores to the actual AAMC...

for the section bank, OG, and CARS volume. I read that you shouldn't fly through them fast because they are very representative of the MCAT and that you should do a few passages a day, for example. but how do you break them up if you don't get to see the answers/how you performed until you...

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place, but I can't find much for Canadian Students. I know there are the monthly threads, but there's barely any responses there. Thus I'm posting here, please let me know if I should post elsewhere! Anyway, I'm in my 4th year now of a Science...
