One of the most frustrating things is when I get an answer wrong, but the problem writers do a poor job of explaining why, or they don't offer explanations for why the other choices were right/wrong. I am super grateful that TrueLearn allows me to see where I went wrong. And for the questions I got right by guessing, I will be able to form things up for next time.

When I was preparing for the MCAT back in 2021, I was super unsure about what to use. However, I did know that I was going to get a uWorld subscription to use after I finished practice problems.

Secondary Writing Tips! June 30 is rapidly approaching! This is the first date that verified MD applications can be sent to medical schools, and thus is widely considered the starting date of secondary season. Here are some tips for those getting started: -Pay close attention to what you are being asked to write about in the prompt. Many students like to reuse essays, which is definitely time effective. But sometimes, two prompts may look similar when in reality they are asking for different things. -Unless the school provides a specific deadlines, try to submit secondaries within 2 weeks or less. -Pay close attention to character counts-this shows the level of detail the adcoms are expecting.
