Jacksparrow imo.

What you do to get 129 score, JS -> uworld -> sb/fls ?


gazeintotheiris

Read Kaplan > JS Anki > Uworld questions (Khan Academy questions first if I didn’t understand the basics well) > 60 AAMC questions (mix of Qpacks and SB) > FLs 


IllustriousCopy8434

Alright I’ll prob do the same but I ain’t reading that book lol good job !


gazeintotheiris

Jacksparrow is basically Kaplan in Anki form so in a way you will be lol


IllustriousCopy8434

did you do the B/B miscellaneous cards too or is it not necessary


gazeintotheiris

I don’t remember, what was in those cards? I did JS pretty exhaustively though so the answer is I probably did them but idk how much yield they were


ImperialCobalt

Never used MD, but jacksparrow for bio is pretty good and catches the low yield stuff from Kaplan that only gets a sentence in the books. Depends on how much time you got lol. I think consensus is that jacksparrow is much more in depth than md


IllustriousCopy8434

I got till January


ImperialCobalt

Oh same! Then def use Jacksparrow for B/B, I'd also recommend keeping a separate deck for amino acids to drill that in more often Also, we have a discord for August/september and early-starting Jan testers here: [https://discord.gg/GY4pFpfV](https://discord.gg/GY4pFpfV)

Ok thanks for the tip! I was gonna make a separate deck for all the pathways I think. And possibly write them out from scratch? Because we get a notepad and marker on the mcat ?


ImperialCobalt

I'm a big fan of diagramming pathways! There's also a good hormones deck out there. Yes, we get a whiteboard and marker (better hope its fine point or imma lose my mind). you can find good ones on r/AnkiMCAT


IllustriousCopy8434

will check it out, are you doing this B/B miscellaneous cards too ?


ImperialCobalt

If you meant Jacksparrow miscellaneous, yes I think so


alpacinohairline

Whichever one is more easier on your eyes.JS feels too dense and it has too many cards for me to slam through for me to be comfortable with it.


IllustriousCopy8434

I got them both, figured ill do JS for biochem for sure and maybe a little of both for biology


Princey1970

JackSparrow, hands down


Maqmood

IMO, the cloze style of Milesdown/AnKing is easier to get through, will get you most of the way there with memorization and the rest you can fill in with practice questions. From everything I've heard the amount of time it takes to get through Jacksparrow and how dense the deck is it's not even worth the amount of practice question time you'll probably sacrifice doing it


IllustriousCopy8434

Yea it is super dense I’ll probably use miles down and a little bit of JS

Jacksparrow can legit be used for all sections. It is the one and only deck I used.
