What’s your MCAT hot takes / unpopular opinions?
These are mine:
-The importance of content review is underrated
-The Kaplan books are useless
-CARS is the hardest to improve & takes the longest
-Most CARS “strategies” are overcomplicated and just waste time. (I am NOT writing a summary after each paragraph)
-The average of your last two AAMC FLs are more representative of your real score than your overall avg
-B/B’s difficulty is very underrated
-Skipping a passage you don’t understand (and coming back to it later) can be really helpful
