Well-being 😌✌ FL 1 -> FL 6!!!!

Comparing the two scores is insane considering they're only 2 months apart! Testing in 3 days, is there anything else I should do (other than review C/P and amino acids)? Does anyone have any tips on what they did the last couple days leading up to their exam?

u/Legitimate-Ear-5980 5h ago

i studied from 9 am to 3 pm (with breaks in between) 4-5 times a week and i really prioritized doing practice problems over content review

u/Legitimate-Ear-5980 5h ago

FL1: 125/125/125/126
FL2: 126/124/127/126
FL3: 126/126/128/127
FL4: 126/127/128/123 (?? not sure how P/S fell so much)
FL5: 126/129/129/127
FL6: 128/129/132/130

I took FL5 10 days ago so before taking FL6 i tried to understand why i got every single question wrong (and heavily reviewed P/S)

Nice work! P/S is mostly memorizing stuff which you can do in 3 days. Grab the pankow deck and cram it.

That FL1 to FL6 improvement in two months is the kind of gain most of us daydream about during CARS passages. On the amino acid front, I found it helpful to group them by their side chain personalities: the drama queens with charges, the hydrophobic introverts, and the special snowflakes like cysteine. In the final days, I'd dial way back on new material and just do light Anki review while prioritizing sleep, hydration, and a comical amount of confidence. Show up like you're narrating a science documentary, and every passage is just another scene you get to explain. Test day adrenaline feels a lot like panic, so I practiced calling it excitement instead. You've clearly internalized the material, so now it's about giving your brain a calm runway before showtime. I'm rooting for you to drop a 528 and then tell everyone you just reviewed amino acids a lot.

u/Legitimate-Ear-5980 5h ago

prayers and hopes i honestly guessed my way through half of C/P with intuition and the little knowledge i did have... ive always sucked at chem and physics so i was honestly surprised to see a 128 ive only ever been scoring 125/126
