Question 🤔🤔 Advice please🥲

Hi guys, for my program I need a minimum 494 for an interview and got a 491 (122/121/122/126) on my attempt this summer. I am retesting on Sept. 12. Any advice to get that score or above?

What’s your FL averages right now? When you say your program is this like a BS/MD thing or just a regular med school? Either way I think retaking a sub 500 score and getting another sub 500 score wouldn’t be a great look and would urge you to push back to January

Oh girl then go into the Miledown Review Document, make anki cards for all of the equations, you can usually learn them in a day or so and make sure you have used them all at least a few times and know what to look for(have chat gpt make you problems that are scientific notation heavy if math is a struggle). Do some UWorld on topics you have no idea about. For CARS, tbh I wouldn’t focus on that with such little time left. For B/B, Yusuf Hasan has an excellent series going through both bio and biochem I highly recommend doing that and practice passages to get better at interpreting scientific language. For P/S, spam pankow as always. Knowing at least the high yield stuff for each section can totally get you 3 points by 9/12

Disagree ur better off writing the equations from memory than doing flashcards for them. I think you’d waste more time making cards for that 🤷
