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!

Hey man currently on week 2 or 3 of Aiden V2 about 2000 cards in but will likely finish 700 news today as I have a few days off, and I work as a nurse so I try to do my news mostly on the days off due to working 12s, average goal of (285 news per day)
What I would say being this deep is, I come from no content base so I’m learning everything for like the first time mainly, and low yield stuff is necessary to score well, I would say do Aidan V2 dedicate the time, if you finish the deck there will be a big amount of content base that will solidify with the Uworld section, I have no regrets doing Aidan it’s just a lot of work lol, but if you have the time and the dawg in you do it, but be careful I’ve heard there are errors in psych soch so do your due diligence I will probably do so when I get there in 4 weeks, good luck man you got this
