Early feedback from pre-meds using MCAT Pulse for their prep.
Studying for Jan MCAT
I was using like 4 different spreadsheets to track everything before this. Having the AAMC outline built in with the mastery tracking saved me so much setup time. Actually worth it.
3-month study plan
The streak tracker and XP system honestly kept me going during weeks where I wanted to quit. Seeing that number go up every day made me not want to break the chain.
Non-trad pre-med
Love that everything syncs across my laptop and iPad. The score tracking is clean and the content mastery view is exactly what I needed to see my weak spots.
Retaking in March
The Pomodoro timer with automatic session logging is a game changer. I used to forget to track my hours, but now it just happens. My study journal entries keep me honest about what actually worked each day.
First-gen pre-med
The resource tracker finally let me see which materials I was actually using vs. just collecting. Being able to track my Anki decks, UWorld progress, and book chapters all in one dashboard saved my sanity.
