Hi everyone, so I have downloaded the JS cards and did the setting for them but im confused as to how Anki works. Like my new cards are at 80 cards per day and organized according to Kaplan chapters. I am doing content review right now. If I do a chapter I unsuspend the cards and go through them, but them tomorrow do I go through the same cards? Do I go through the cards for all the chapters? How does this work and what do I click on? im very confused please help.

Hi everyone,

I am doing content review for the MCAT. I have 3 months till my MCAT. I’m doing content review from scratch as I’m non-traditional. I’m using the JS deck for AnkI. I love the cards but I’ve never used Anki before so I’m wondering what do my settings need to be for Anki?

I thought I would do the chapter that corresponds to Anki chapters but like that’s like lots of cards per day and it’s overwhelming. so how should I do it? what’s the best way to study using Anki if my goal is to get a high score? please help!

I have no previous knowledge in Science courses. I am starting from scratch. During content review, what deck would you'd you guys recommend I do? For all sections, would I use the same deck?

Also, is anyone willing to help me over a zoom session on how to use Anki?

Hi everyone! can anyone please give me detailed advise on how to do content review if I am not familiar with any content? I have 3 months to study for the MCAT. Everyone has told me to read the Kaplan books but I am not sure what they mean by that? How do I retain the info and make sure I understand? Do I do the Kaplan or khan academy quizez? do I do anki or uworld during content review? How do I test my knowledge?

if anyone can break this down for me and give me advice on how exactly to do content review I would appreciate it! btw I have no prior science knowledge!

Hello,

I hope you guys are well! I wanted to reach out to ask for advice because I have disability-based learning challenges, and I have been finding it extremely difficult to create an MCAT study timeline on my own.

Due to my circumstances, I completed my degree over a longer period of time with a reduced course load, and I did not complete all of the traditional MCAT  prerequisite courses. To be completely honest, I also do not remember much of the material from my first-year courses. Because of this, I feel that I cannot take a diagnostic test yet, as I believe I need to complete foundational content review first as I do know any content convered on MCAT.

I have been feeling very overwhelmed by the number of resources available online. Many people recommend doing “content review,” but I struggle to understand what information I should actually retain from Kaplan books, how to take notes effectively, and how to identify what is truly important. When every detail feels important, it becomes overwhelming, and I find it difficult to move forward.

I also struggle to turn general advice into a clear daily plan. Not knowing what to do each day causes a lot of stress, and I often spend more time trying to figure out where to start than actually studying. I feel that having a clear, structured plan tailored to my learning needs would help reduce this overwhelm and allow me to stay focused.

I was wondering if you might be willing to share advice or guidance on:

• Which resources to use and when
• How to approach content review and note-taking
• What a realistic daily study plan should look like
• What questions do I need to do and from where? For example, if I read a Bio chapter on cells for example, which questions do I do to make sure I know what I learned?
• When it would be appropriate for me to take a diagnostic exam
• I hate Anki and have no clue how to use it. It is stressful for me. Therefore, if you did well on the MCAT without using Anki, I would appreciate your support and guidance.

 

I would truly appreciate any guidance you are able to offer, or if you could point me toward resources or supports that might help students in similar situations.
