5-18: 1st ever cars diagnostic from the offical aamc site (the 10 question one)

i heard these questions are the most like the actual exam since aamc writes the exam and uses similar sentence structure and stuff. cars is basically sat reading section if it turned super duper evil.. i'm surprised by how i did on the first try but i honestly think that aside from having above average english comprehension a theory that i have that's 1000000% reaching is that yknow how with these passages its literally 90% making inferences and stuff like theyre not gonna give you straight forward questions.okay my theory is that with learning language i have to make a lot of assumptioms using context clues like when im talking to my mom and she saids a word that I may not know I can either ask her or like figure out what that word is based on the sentence. same with if im listening to something in jp. okay wtf is rose getting at. honestly idk but cars requires a lot of that but in this case not with specifc words but with author tone and meaning and stuff which they aren't gonna tell you. does this all makes sense??? but also reading is so fun and im the most relaxed with cars idk i have wayyy bigger issues to worry about. phys and like gen chem calculations that i have to memorize mind you and no calc too this exam is so evil pray for me if i dont do well i might actually kms

makings of a monster

I need to get off of mcat forums because idk what to even do anymore... like studying wise with anki cards. I had a whole anki saga last week which would make this paragraph too long (i talked about it on my hjonk if you care) but aside from that there are like 5 anki decks that are talked about and everytime I want an opinion on one of them online there is always a group of people that are like "so actually the sixseven deck is so bad and like doesn't have half of the stuff you need to know" I'm doing this the old fashioned way (paper flashcards that I make) I also don't really trust my ability to retain info from someone else's flashcards because I've always made my own tailored to what I need to focus on. so the makings of a monster is that i'm going to be making a fat deck of flashcards to study daily. that way i'm learning (making the flashcards in the first place) and turbo learning (reviewing each day) aren't i big brained?? yeah yeah
