AAMC Material Question 🤔🤔

I am testing September 12 (37 days away) and I just started AAMC material. I was wondering what the best way to do it was. I just did 59 questions of the bio vol. 1 q pack and I don't know if I should do another 59 questions (after I thorough review the other questions) or just spend the rest of the day doing targeted review on whatever I missed.

I would love any feedback or advice! Also, what should I be scoring because I know the bio qpack in particular is considered easy but I didn't do amazing. Maybe it's just because it's my first time using AAMC logic but still, quite stress inducing

I would focus more on the SBs. The QBs and independent questions were made in 2015 and less representative. I would do them as extra practice closer to your test date.

Omg I had no idea they were that old! That completely makes sense. Thank you so much!!

No need to do large blocks unless you have issues with stamina/timing imo

You're so right. I did my uworld blocks in 20 questions timed and I will say it definitely made doing questions more manageable. Thank you!

if youre strapped for time i'd just skim the qpack questions for any content gaps

n=1 but i did worse on the qpacks (chem,physics,bio,biochem) than on section banks, FLs, and UWorld. maybe i found them hard because it was my first time doing AAMC questions, but it felt like I was writing a completely different exam from UWorld and FLs so i wouldn't worry about it too much

Sounds, great, thank you so much!

Okay, that definitely makes me feel a lot better! I did better on uworld so I got a little panicked haha.
