Hi Abdulla, I am highly interested in purchasing your course. Could you please clear up some questions I had. Would your content be beneficial to someone like me who did not do too well in the premed courses or would I need a more though-rough in depth review? My last question is that I also purchased U-world and I was wondering would your MCAT science courses prepare me to tackle the notorious difficult questions on Uworld and AAMC section banks? Thanks you.
Sorry, I just saw this! I would say if your science knowledge is really rusty you're probably going to need to rely on other stuff in addition to my courses. I try to start at a pretty basic level, and I don't really assume that you have any prior knowledge, but I also do go through stuff a bit quickly. I've had non-traditional students tell me they used my courses almost as a substitute for their pre-med classes, but I think most students also need to use additional resources to help them learn the science stuff, and this is especially true if you're learning stuff from scratch. As for your other question, I've designed my courses to give you the background knowledge necessary for AAMC's tests and practice questions, but not for UWorld. I personally feel that UWorld questions go deeper into content than is necessary, and that can make students study more material than they need. Once again, sorry for replying late! Let me know if you have any other questions, and please also feel free to shoot me an email (admin@acethemcat.com), and we can discuss more!
I've got a video discussing that section coming out really soon! Not sure if I'll do a full course on its content, but if so it probably won't be for a while 😔.
Good question! In general, I'd recommend using AAMC materials as much as possible, and if necessary going through the questions/exams twice even! They've also got so much material at this point that if you really take the time to review them afterward, you probably won't run out of practice stuff. But I don't think it's a bad idea to occasionally use non-AAMC stuff. If you're just starting out and you wanna get a feel for the test in general, it's ok to do an outside company's exam (most companies offer a free exam, so just do that.) It's subjective and it's up to you, but the key thing is to make sure you're getting through all the AAMC material before your exam!

Any plans to review Psych-Socio content?
I've got a video discussing that section coming out really soon! Not sure if I'll do a full course on its content, but if so it probably won't be for a while 😔.

For practice questions do you recommend doing outside sources for the mcat or just go straight into AAMC written material

AAMC resources, and if your money and time are available, Uworld.
Yeah I'd agree with this, thanks for the addition!
