Thanks for the content. I’ve always have been anxious about test preparation and it’s useful to hear from someone who has taken this test and done well
Hey James! I don't have any personal experience with Altius FL exams so I don't want to make any recommendations for or against them. I will say that I think doing next-step exams 1-4 and all the AAMC FLs should be more than enough for preparing for the exam! Hope that helps.
I’m currently trying to prepare for the Jan test date. I’m also a full time student at university. Do you think 4 months is enough time to prep for the exam? Or would you still recommend 6 months, and take it in Mar? I’m also a bit concerned because I’ll be applying to med schools soon next semester.
Why don't you give people a simple guideline like if you are a 3.3 GPA and want to achieve a 507 mcat score then you need XXX hours total. And if you want to increase 1 point then you need an additional XXX hours. Same go for 3.6 GPA student with a goal of 510. etc.... Then the 3.9 gpa one will have a rough estimate how many total hours to achieve 515 or so. These are range and can be effect by many circumstances obviously but it is a +/- within 2-3 points

Happy to help! Feel free to reach out if you ever need some advice.
Finally a straight answer.
I am debating whether I should study 9 hours or 10 hours daily and taking one day off. Thoughts?
If you’re studying full time, 8-10 hours of study per day is fine! I always suggest taking one full day off studying each week to recharge. Good luck!
@@philratnasamy7240 okay I’ll go with 9 :)
Hey Phil, do you have any experience with altius FL’s? Are they representative? Thanks!

Good idea! Would need a lot of data for something like that though.
