Am I making good use of my time (retaker study plan)

Question

I'm retaking this August and I'll start studying in June. I was thinking, since I've already gone through Kaplan and some TBR and all of Uworld during my first take, to hammer in those concepts in CP and BB using KA only. I realized that some sections on KA drag on or have multiple videos for the same concepts which can help reinforce concepts but is KA a good resource to just dive fully into or is it not comprehensive enough? I know some people swear by KA since it's literally partnered with AAMC. OR is it better use of time to look at sources that are more concise and straight to the point such as Chad's Videos and then doing practice problems across many sources?

Answer 1

You're going to have to do some self introspection and figure out what you are weaker at.

I would focus your time on reinforcing your weaker concepts with some solid content review, but don't focus your whole time on content review. I would focus on the KA videos that you find useful and need. To really solidify the material and true understanding of taking the MCAT, you should be doing more practice questions. Practice questions not only reinforce concepts but you are also learning how the test writers think and how they test certain concepts. It's very important you review both your right and wrong answers. I usually make a table in word take some small notes from what I learned from each question and try to review it every couple days. This also helps reinforce a concept.

Best of luck! Feel free to ask any more questions my way! I took the MCAT 3 times.
