I love the fact that this video is actually encouraging and has a lot of positive vibes in it. I've watched some videos that just try to scare the hell out of premeds and are not helpful at all. thanks for being different!

Bro I didn't even realize that I subconsciously set an expectation of studying all the time no matter what or its wasting time, u saying it made me realize I need to study blocks and giving myself time in the day to not stress about it, thnk u

Outstanding video. You are the type of future medical doctors we need in this world.

I am studying for my MDCAT and I was kind of de-motivated and frustrated. I found your video, that is really helpful and your voice is so relaxing that now I feel sleepy. Jokes apart try making that kind of video because these help a lot and motivate freshies.

[PhilipAndrewNewman]

Lmao I've been using your notion resource page for about 3 weeks and didn't know who made it until watching this vid rn. Thank you SO MUCH man!

[maulikthakar]

Hi I enjoyed the video! I am currently studying now and I had a few questions.

1. I wanted to know if you still read the books while using anki or no?
2. Did you also work while you were studying or no?
3. Finally we’re you already like proficiently with the content from your classes or did you feel like you had to learn or re-learn the content? Basically did you actually learn from your classes so that MCAT studying was more of a review, or did it feel like you were learning the material from scratch!

Please keep up with the med videos, productivity or anything!

Nice! Those Princeton Review ads will never go away. Never. I thought once I stopped googling MCAT relevant stuff it would…yet he’s still there 18+ months later 😅

[Michael-whql]

high quality content interspersed w light comedy

[stephaniegallo]

Lol the ending!!! I think we've all been personally victimized by that ad.

[Clumsyone]

Can you please guide me about the whole exam and admission process i will be very greatful to you .

[MrDillon]

Do you make your own Flashcards on anki or did you get a deck already made from somebody? I’m unsure of how anki works.

[harrisontorres]

Just started studying for the MCAT. Love Anki.Anyway you can share me your deck? Plzz

[carluy]

My current study regimen is going through 1 chapter of kaplan a day + 3 CARS passages daily. The thing is, I'm a nontrad student and I have to relearn a looot of the stuff I took years ago. I'd like to do more Anki as I currently dont have the time to do them concurrently with the daily readings and CARS I do. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe scheduling a whole day of just Anki?
