i've tried so many different methods but no matter what i always struggle with these passages. please let me know if you guys have any tips or tricks!! i want to hear them all even if they sound weird or crazy anything helps lol
any advice with taking tests with ocd? started zoloft recently but it hasnt started working yet.
im studying for my mcat and i really struggle with rereading passages/questions over and over or rewriting things over and over bc it’s not “right” (so silly ik i try to stop). you’re not supposed to understand every passage in the mcat but i have a hard time being able to accept it and move on. next thing i know ive spent 10 min on question bc i understand some part of it so i think i can figure it out and then i start panicking.
i also always second guess myself bc i start having intrusive thoughts that distract me the whole time and make me question myself. a majority of the questions i get wrong are bc of overthinking and running out of time :(
i know these are many different issues but if anyone has any advice they thought helped them with test taking with their ocd i’d love to hear, anything helps
should i ask for a letter of rec from my hospital volunteer coordinator? ive been here for 2 years with 200+ hours.
the staff that works with volunteering at my hospital are really nice and they tell me they love talking to me lol. only thing is that i see them when i walk past their office, they don't see what i actually do on the floor i volunteer at. all the nurses on my floor tell me they love having me too they are so sweet but i don't think they would be the ones to write the letter?
idk what do u guys think i should do?
i know its not recommended to drink alcohol on zoloft but i was wondering if it is really that big of a deal. and if so, do you just skip your dose? i take it every night with dinner but ive only been on it for 3 weeks
lmk what you guys think is the most helpful for studying
pls lmk if you are reselling tix!! idk what to do because its still sold out and i keep checking ticketmaster everyday
signed up for all presale/sale and joined early and everthing but it sold out immediately :(
i know it’s a silly question but what i’ve been doing is making tests for each section - like c/p tests by clicking gen chem, orgo, physics. is there another way i should be doing this? is you think might be more helpful to mcat studying?
i know this seems like a silly question but i am always on my phone scrolling mindlessly and before i know it ive wasted hours i should’ve been studying. i put on time limits for apps but sometimes i still click to ignore (i know this is my fault). and yet i don’t like using the anki app lol
does anyone have any advice or weird tricks they’ve done to help reduce screen time to study for the mcat?
started zoloft 3 weeks ago for ocd and anxiety and i wanted to know how long it takes for it to start working, and how do you know when it is working?
i took an honors capstone course in college and throughout the semester we worked on research within a group of 3 (each group had different topics). at the end of the semester we had to make an abstract and poster to submit to a national research conference (my topic was relating to reproductive health). my work was approved and i got to present this at the conf.
i had a great relationship w this prof, and the next semester i worked with my same group and prof (no longer in her course ofc), where we worked on 4 more posters!! diff topics within reproductive health and also anesthesiology. this was presented at another conference.
i asked her to write me a letter of recommendation and she did but i was wondering - based on the info from the work i did with her, is this considered a science prof or not?
i would think so bc its literally research but at the same time its not the usual bio/chem/phys etc
i originally was gonna take my mcat and apply to med school last year but my mcat wasn’t going well so i decided to cancel it last minute.
before i made that decision, i had already asked and received the letters of rec i needed - the letters are in interfolio, but i never submitted them bc i didn’t end up applying.
should i reach out to everyone again and ask them to update the letters with this years date? or does the date not matter?
i need advice - i have been studying for the mcat for over a year and my scores are still not where i want them to be (510+). finished college w/ a 3.82 gpa and did well on my science classes so idk what to do.. pls don’t say reschedule bc i dont want to take another gap year :(
My last three practice scores:

idk what im doing wrong so pls lmk, anything helps!!!
