Would you please send the anki cards ?
Comment from : Brahim Daboul

I'm local in Las Vegas and currently pre-med Are you selling or giving away your MCAT study guides?
Comment from : Marie Pastor

During phase 1 of content review/ reading through the kaplan books, did you memorize content/ equations during this phase? Or did you do that with uworld practice questions?
Comment from : Zechariah Carter

Now what if you work 60 hours a week and have a wife and child? That's what I'm dealing with

Comment from : Hadassah Pegues

Did you take a diagnostic test? I had a low score and now im scared I wont be able to bring it to at least a 508 but hoping for a 510+ from studying January-April/May
Comment from : Jennifer K

how many chapters should u read a day for content review
Comment from : Estephanie Garcia

Hey! Im starting to study for the MCAT, and I plan on taking it in January, so I have a bunch of time I do not really know how to approach content review, mostly cuz I have not taken biochem yet However, by the time I take the MCAT, I will have just finished biochem How do I approach studying for biochem in the summer before taking the course?
Comment from : IOANA GACHE

This is amazing, thank you so much! Definitely one of the best MCAT advice videos on here One question - did you supplement your content review with premade cards for other subjects besides P/S?
Comment from : Shizza Hassan

Shaun you're so sweet! Thank you for all the advice!
Comment from : Bunny_S

How many hours a day do u reccommend studying each day? I only have 3 months to study is that too little ? 😭
Comment from : Btsjk Forever

So if I set aside 4 months to study, how much time do yall recommend I set for each phase?
Comment from : Gianni

This has me so motivated to start studying — I really didn’t know where to start and what to prioritize but you helped out a ton! Thank you Shaun! 🤩
Comment from : 27H

Thanks for such a helpful video! I graduated 5 years ago and was wondering if you would suggest taking notes as I read the chapter since I haven’t seen the content in a while If not, please let me know any suggestions that you would add to the study plan explained in the video for those who aren’t taking the MCAT directly after school Thanks!
Comment from : Genesis Green

Should I take notes when studying science content
Comment from : WhatAGuy

Hey Shaun! I'm using the Kaplan Books for my content review Should I even bother reading the P/S and CARS book? Would you recommend the Khan PDF and Jack Westin as a substitute?
Comment from : Carlos Hernandez

Hey shaun i am also preparing for mdcat/mcat thanks for this complete guide
Comment from : Hijab Zia

Should I use The princeton review books or Kaplan Books for preparing content for MCAT?
Comment from : Aravind Sundar

Hey Shaun! What timeline would you suggest for each phase for a 4 month study plan? Keep up the great work
Comment from : nahuel fernandez

I'm using the Kaplan Books for my content review Should I even bother reading the P/S and CARS book? Would you recommend the Khan PDF and Jack Westin as a substitute?
Comment from : Carlos Hernandez

No anki for B/B or C/P?
Comment from : James Burmeister

I’m also doing January- May Did you take a course along with it? In terms of my content review it’s just going so slowly for me (I tried to start 2 weeks ago) I know everyone says to not spend so much time on reviewing, but for me I really don’t remember a lot of the content I also literally did so bad on my diagnostic exam
Comment from : Emily

Hello, I believe the psych/soc 300 page KA text is from 2015, would this still be effective for the mcat now or next year?
Comment from : Verzide

Finally, a video that isnt super long and doesn't cause me extreme anxiety Thank you so much for this! I have a question though, since you mentioned you studied from January till May, were you studying for the exam during the academic school year? Or are you out of college and could spend most days studying solely for the mcat? I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how i'm going to study for this exam while also in school next semester full time lol
Comment from : Danielle Ayoub

You’re the man
Comment from : Scott English

This was very helpful, thank you!!
Comment from : Daniel Galvez

How long should each phase be? I was thinking by month, to begin with, but not everybody studies for the same period of time Do I just divide the months I want to study by the number of phases, or should I devote more time to some phases rather than others? Thanks! I really want to be a dermatologist or sports medicine physician, so your channel helps motivate me to do well in undergrad!
Comment from : SERINA PENROD

I may only be a senior in high school and my long pre-med journey hasn't started yet , but I wanted to take the time to give you my appreciation on your wonderful videos Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and mistake so we can learn from them This world need more people like you sir Thank you again for being a helpful person to society
Comment from : baby lucifer

I’m about a year away from even taking the MCAT, but because of my brother know a ton of docs Every single one of them swear by UWorld Definitely seems like it’s worth the money
Comment from : Vergina Simpson

A lot of the mcat subjects I took in my first year When you took yours, did subjects like calculus come back to you quite quickly? I’m worried I won’t remember much since by the time I do the mcat, it will have been 3 years since I’ve taken things like calculus, ochem, etc
Comment from : SteezyJubes

Thank you very much Shaun, I am very pleased that I found your channel, this is the first MCAT video I found where you actually explain what are good strategies for studying specifically rather than only what resources are optimal, Thank you!!
Comment from : Dan

Are you actually trying to understand and memorize everything in the review books? Or are you just passively rereading and hope it sticks?
Comment from : ACLP

Hi Shaun!brDo you suggest going through the pdfs of other subjects from Khan academy? or Reviewing stuff from either kaplan or Princeton?
Comment from : Purnima Mathur

Wow!! This helped me so much, I was so confused on where/how to start studying for the MCAT but this truly helped! Also quick question, how long should each phase of studying be? I'm taking the MCAT in January of 2021!
Comment from : Isha

I'm 14 and I'm already studying for this exam, stress is a scary thing man
Comment from : ʟᴇᴏɴ

Comment from : Carolyn Neves

How many weeks do you recommend for each of the phases?
Comment from : Alison Moran

Excellent advice
Comment from : David Soto

Hey! It's me from the other video I'm upset I didn't watch this before because I literally just made 1000 Anki cards for Orgo, Bio, and Inorganic chem :( But I am doing problems in special books to get me ready for this test in two months, so I will defo take your advice on that Thank you for letting my know this video existed :)
Comment from : Ryno

Hey Shaun love the channel! Which user’s Anki deck did you use for psych/soc? I see there’s a few decks based on the KA 300 pg doc

Do you recommend taking notes while reading the Kaplan books?
Comment from : Jo Yun Hsu

I'm a fresh candidate and am gonna preparing MDCAT I hope I'll feel it helpful
Comment from : Yusra Israr

Hey Shaun, did you take notes as you read through the Kaplan book series? thanks
Comment from : Jarred Metkus

I have so much anxiety for the MCAT, and I don't even plan on taking it until fall 2021 My worry is that I won't be able to get the classes I need done in time, and how to study for it You absolutely helped conquer that second concern of mine, and I will definitely be sharing this with any person I know who's planning on taking the MCAT!! You are an absolute godsend!!
Comment from : Gift

Hi Shaun! Thank you so much for your honest and informational video! I am an RN and on my way studying for the MCAT, and your break downs on how you would study has helped me form my future studying schedules!
Comment from : Aamna Imran

Hey man, what was the best practice overall relative to the actual exam for CARS? I currently have been using the AAMC and Uworld CARS Is Jackwestin more relevant?
Comment from : Pav K

Did you take the MCAT only one time?
Comment from : Minerva Sanchez- Tenorio

I’m getting black out after I finish that bitch
Comment from : Blaise Moffa

Hello Shaun,brI plan to take the MCAT May 2021brI had ZERO idea on how to plan for studying for it However, I will be following your method and the four phases I start phase 1 this week I will let you know how successful your method was in a couple of months :)
Comment from : Mas Moore

Making Anki cards is an active studying method, even if you didn't use them But reading a textbook, on the other hand, does little to engage with the material and you end up forgetting
Comment from : General Usage

how much time should I spend on content review? I've started with bio/biochem, gen chem and psych/soc and I feel like I am not being very efficient I plan on taking the exam spring 2021 idk what I am doing lol what would your advice be on content review?
Comment from : Arlenis Mendez

This is the MOST helpful video I've seen (not to mention it was posted on my birthday lol) I have exactly 10 weeks before my exam and I've changed my study schedule twice because I felt like I was spending too much time on content review Thanks for the tips!
Comment from : antoinette💕

Hey Shaun I love this video bro I suffer from anxiety and getting overwhelmed if I don’t have structure Your video was to the point and is very structured so I’ve decided to try out your plan I have all the Kaplan Books and I’m going to register for UWorld and purchase AAMC materials once I finish content reviewbrbrI also messaged you a question on Instagram but in case you don’t see it I was wondering if you have like an excel doc of your mcat study schedule? I’m looking for a template mainly for content review As in a schedule of when to read the kaplan books/ how to alternate between books
Comment from : ElGuapo824

Thank you for this
Comment from : Mark St Pierre

i have access to free exam kracker books, but would it be better to buy KA or TBR books since I think it would give me passages/practice tests?
Comment from : j dean

Is there any way you can post the link for the Khan Academy pdfs again please? It doesn't seem to be working anymore Thank you so much! This was really helpful!
Comment from : Pooja S

Your desk set up is soothing
Comment from : j dean

Did you purchase the Jack Westin CARS or just do the free practice questions?
Comment from : William Cheng, MS1

thanks for video does anyone know where i can get my hands on that Psych PDF? link below not working for me
Comment from : Bernard Linares

i tried taking the Princeton review course this may it was overwhelming and I quit 1 month into it Im trying to reevaulate and see what my next steps are whether it be look at other career choices or take anotHER STAB AT MCAT STUDYING but in a better way

I love your videos All I gotta say Haha
Comment from : Darlin Smile

Hi Shaun!! Congrats on your acceptance! I am just starting to study for the MCAT I will be taking in late September, and I'm doing it on my own so this was so helpful I'm really curious though as to the breakdown of weeks for each phasehow long did you spend doing content review compared to when you started just doing practice questions/tests?? This would be so helpful if you were able to answer!!
Comment from : Kimberly Masucci

Hey Shaun, brbrbrCongrats on your acceptance! I really appreciate all of the advice you're giving out! I was wondering if you could clarify how much time you think we should allot for Phase 2 (if we're planning on using the MCAT Prep question bank and the UWorld questions as well, thanks again so much!
Comment from : Antonio Chavez

Thanks for this video Shaun!! I'm studying for the MCAT now (taking in early August) and I feel sososo overwhelmed, but this really helped :)
Comment from : Elissa Da

Great video Should I use the 100 page condensed pdf to learn psych/soc or start with the 300 page one? I haven't taken any psych or sociology
Comment from : Chidera

I’m currently a rising junior taking Orgo 2 this summer and hoping to take biochem this fall (And I have not taken physics 2) I’ll be starting MCAT prep next week- do you think I should still do content review? Or maybe just for chemistry and physics? Or do you think with figuring out questions I get wrong, I could just explore concepts that way? Hope this makes sense haha I’m scared about regretting not doing questions earlier but also not going over content enough I would say I’m a fast learner but could get a bit panicky with chemistry 😂
Comment from : Seethal Doki

How long before MCAT do you recommend to start phase 1?
Comment from : Aqua Life

This is such a fantastic video! Thank you for your great explanations Could you just clarify how much time you spent on each phase vs how much time you wished you spent? Thanks!
Comment from : Sarah Shaban

thanks
Comment from : Victoria Kierstyn

Oh my gosh This is so weird LOL I saw you on facebook today because we have mutual friends so I clicked on your profile (not to be weird) LOLOL You do gymnastics? Eyyyy Rebels! :D
Comment from : Darlin Smile

When reading through the kaplan books would you recommend taking notes or just passively reading? I don't want to waste time taking notes if it could be something I won't have time to look back on
Comment from : Jummie

thank you!! this was very very helpful :)
Comment from : Lina Abril

How many chapters a day did you study?
Comment from : GFitness

I appreciate you for sharing your experiences and for being really insightful man I have the kaplan 7-book set and am using anki pre-made cards for all kaplan chapters would you recommend taking detailed notes on kaplan chapters or just reading passively and trying to build memory through practicing anki daily I feel as if I am wasting a lot of time on content review and want to make sure that I study effectively to get my target score
Comment from : Samuel Tadesse

I have a question, anki uses spaced repetition and active recall When you say you wasted so much time on making anki cards, was it because you didn’t study them or if was just an un effective way to study based on your own study habits? Because i have never heard anyone say “get used to passively studying”
