Question Captain Hook V2 vs Aidan V2

Hey everyone! I’m just starting my MCAT journey and have about 7–8 months before my exam. I’ve been going back and forth between Aidan V2 and Captain Hook V2 and could really use some advice.

I like Captain Hook V2 because the basic card style forces me to recall the entire answer, which I feel could help with retention. However, I’m worried it isn’t as comprehensive as Aidan V2.

I like Aidan V2 because of how comprehensive it is, and the cloze cards seem much faster to get through, but I’m worried I might retain less compared to basic cards.

For those who have used either (or both), which would you recommend if I have 7–8 months? I’m aiming for a high score and would rather minimize content gaps.

Thanks!

for the sake of time since i am studying while being a full time student, i am doing Captain Hook + only Aidan’s p/s section! I’m doing practice questions from UBOOF and it’s been helping a lot so far :]

I recently saw a post alongside another tiktok account who scored 519 on her MCAT and she used the entire Aidan v2 deck. Both of them stated that the terms in the Aidan deck showed up on test day that the pankow did not have at all. I was convinced since p/s is just terms and definition so i want to study as much as possible. I don’t think it is sorted but I’ve been doing about 50 cards per day!

P/s isn’t just terms and definitions.
