This video is part of the MoreDataMed series, in which I will share as much information as I can to increase the amount of real data available to medical school applicants for free. More videos are coming.

Really enjoyed this video. As a grandfather i am going to pass this onto my granddaughter as she preps for the MCAT. Very well done and thank you.
You’re a cool dude. I’d totally watch a vlog or other videos you might make
“My belly,” looks down, “[…] I didn’t grow a six pack, but-“ had me laughing out loud. Great thorough video, I appreciate the information, very valuable stuff I am going to adopt such as the Kaplan quick sheets. Currently in between phase 2 and 3 so glad to see I am on the right track. Thank you.
I love your thoughts on non-studying content tips hahahah making it more enjoyable !
This is the best advice video I've ever seen thank you
Divyam, you are the GOAT
IM SO BEYOND HAPPY IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HATES ANKI. Do you have any tips for approaching passages? With b/b passages specifically, I’ve been struggling to keep track of all the pathways they give and the specifics of different types of lab techniques
I HATE IT SO MUCH TOO 😭😭 Literally torture. Makes everything 10000X more boring when I actually liked learning this stuff in undergrad
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely outstanding I am in awe of your mind
Thank you ❤❤
Thank u thank uuuu thank uuu
Hey! Was wondering if you were doing 200 questions a day how did you get through reviewing all of them?
Incredible
Hi Divyam. Great video! I had a question about CARS. What strategies do you use to actively read a CARS passage in order to get the most out of it before moving on to questions? I heard different pieces of advice from people and test prep companies, but I wanna hear your authentic advice since you scored a 132
Hello, sorry for the delay. My tips for CARS are as follows. And keep in mind this is what worked for me, and I was a philosophy major in college which did give me an advantage because the vast majority of my coursework was based on reading different types of texts and literature.
1. Keep your background knowledge away. Cars passages deal with a variety of topics, and you may come across a passage talking about a topic that you have in depth knowledge on. However, remembers that anyone reading a cars passage is given enough info from the passage alone to answer the questions regardless of their background knowledge on the subject. Your background knowledge and what you know about the topic may actually interfere with answering questions because it will direct you to an answer that the passage doesn't agree with, and remember correct answers in cars are purely based on the passage.
2. While reading the passage, make all efforts to put yourself in the shoes of the author who is writing the passage and pretend you agree with them on everything they are saying. For the five or six questions that relate to that passage, pretend you are the author and try to think of everything on the subject matter from the point of view of the author and the opinions they hold that you read in the passage.
3. Avoid using tools like the highlighter. My logic is that, if you are highlighting everything that is important, you will basically end up highlighting the entire passage. I have seen people do that, they are taking a practice exam and literally 90% of the passages highlighted. They highlighted line by line as they were reading, and that extra few seconds it takes adds up quickly and is a waste of time in my opinion
4. A lot of people are used to drawing pathways during the biology and biochem sections on their notepad to help them visualize. What's going on. Try using the same strategy for the cars passages. While you were reading, make brief notes, connecting main ideas. I think this is a much better use of time than highlighting
Hope this helps
Thanks a lot Divyam!
Do you have any tips on how to read long and/or convoluted sentences without overloading your short term memory? It's hard for me to understand what the author is trying to tell me.
Hey! Just curious, after content review, what did you score on your full lengths, in particular the blue print half length?
My BP half length was a 508 right after finishing content review in the sciences. I hadn't reviewed any P/S yet. My highest AAMC FL was a 518, but as I say in the video I was not doing a good job with taking them in a test like environment and I only had noisy, distracting places to take my test unfortunately.
Any tips for the last 2-3 weeks before test date?
