khan academy

I’m a couple of years removed from any sort of math courses. I’m also not very good at math. Would going through the Khan Academy Algebra 1 and 2 courses be enough to set me up for success for General Chem 1 and Physics 1? My chemistry background is limited and I have no experience with physics...

I was working through the KA videos and I worked rather well with the videos. I've been mainly using Kaplan books for my studying/review and KA as a supplement but following this realization, I've been considering using KA as my main study source and Kaplan as a supplement but I'm rather...

Title essentially explains it. Started doing Khan Academy practice passages and, I might just be stupid, but I cannot find any explanations as to why a certain answer is correct and others are not. Are there just not any answer explanations?

I'm struggling to get through the readings in the review books (ExamKrackers) since it's boring. Also I find I do not learn as well from just reading and do better if it is taught outloud in a lecture. I know Khan Academy offers MCAT review videos and was wondering if just watching those and...

So the new updated Ari's Study Schedule uses a compilation of Khan Academy's math videos. I've used Chad's before and still have his notes but my understanding of QR didn't really improve so I don't really want to purchase it again. What videos/other resources are you guys using for QR...

Hey everyone! I wanted to get your input on what materials I should get and how to study while being a full time student. I was planning on getting the Kaplan full set with the flash cards + AMCAS materials and go through that with khan academy. Is that okay? Also, does anyone have any advice...

Just finished taking the DAT today! I know that when I was studying the past couple months, reading other people's breakdown really helped me, so I wanted to do my part and share my thoughts and my study materials on the DAT. DAT scores: PAT 20 QR 20 RC 25 Bio 20 GC 26 OC 25 TS 23 AA 23 Time...

Hi SDN, I unfortunately will not have a full summer available to prep for the MCAT, so I was wondering if you guys would have any advice for preparing over the course of a regular semester (I'm anticipating being able to spare about 5-8h/wk for prep) plus winter break (when I will be able to...

I have heard from many people that the best way to study for the MCAT is to do practice passages/ questions. So, I planned to do 2 a day along with the material review. However, I cannot find any passages. I had looked online and EK's 101 passages came up but I saw many negative reviews. Are...

Hey Everyone! I mainly developed this plan for myself, but I thought I would post it here! I have updated all the references from the @mcatjelly, @SN2ed, and @_Nymeria_ study guides for a 2017 Study Plan. Credit to them for the inspiration! I'm simply uploading it in hopes it might help someone...

Hello SDN Members! This is my very first post (that I started not a reply, that was yesterday)! First of all, I wanted to thank everyone past and present who have posted on these forums. I am "new", in the sense that I have been a quiet observer and have kept my eye on these forums for a long...

Hey everyone, Trying out SDN since I have no one else to really talk to about this stuff... I graduated college 5 years ago, was premed and somehow got through with mediocre science grades, but now I really don't remember a lot of it. Recently applied to a few post-bacs that didn't require...

Does anyone know why Bootcamp switched from Chad's to Khan for the QR section? If Chad's was working for so many people, what would the reasoning behind the switch be?

Hello! I'm taking my DAT on July 31, and I plan to study for 10-11 weeks. I am most worried about QR because 1) I haven't taken math since high school and I was never good at word problems, and 2) I've NEVER taken a probability/statistics course before, so I will have to learn that from...

Hey guys! Has anyone used Chad's videos for the quantitative reasoning portion of studying for the DAT? What are your thoughts? Is it enough? Is Khan Academy better?

With my test date looming closer and closer , I think having a MCAT study buddy/ accountability partner would be advantageous . If anyone needs a serious study buddy, I am here for you! I'm open to studying in person- if you live close by, but I prefer online study sessions. We can hold weekly...

"I have truly felt that the MCAT Self Prep eCourse has been more valuable than the MCAT prep courses I have paid for. It is really effective at keeping me organized and gives me a clear goal as to what I should accomplish before test day. I have already seen my score leap up 10 points in just 2...

I am going to make this super short and sweet! I've spent more time than I'd love to admit 'researching' prep/review books and courses. At the end still coming to the basic fact that the MCAT tests three core concepts; which we all already know: 1. Foundation Concepts, 2. Content, and 3...

Hey SDN! I thought I would start a thread where people can discuss the different online video prep options, so we can find all the info on all the options in one spot. Feel free to put any thoughts you have on specific videos, what's good, what's lacking, or even just on using videos to help...

Thoughts? Is it good? Anyone use it? It's free and my budget is low.

The thing I hate the most about the Khan Academy questions is there is no explanation...and even if you thought you knew the answer/know the background, sometimes it is still difficult to figure out why it is incorrect. This question came up: How would the hyperglobalist perspective describe...

Could someone help me look at this question. I can't understand how they concluded the relationship to be "strong." Shouldn't there be a numerical value to indicate if something is strong or not? The link for the passage is...

Anybody do the Khan Academy passage called https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/mcat/biological-sciences-practice/biological-sciences-practice-tut/e/the-role-of-alcohol-abuse-in-pancreatitis I had a question regarding the answer to this question

Hi! So I'm taking the MCAT in May and I'm trying to figure out the best practice study plan now that I've finally finished content review (which I admit, I didn't put a whole lot of effort into due to being busy with school and ECs). I have 8 FLs (3 TPR, 3 Kaplan, 2 AAMC). Finals end on May...
