Same...my friend used Khan Academy to study for the MCAT which was free and he scored really well! Khan Academy makes resources for IIT-JEE but not for NEET, I think which they should because Khan Academy is awesome!

I know this is a stressful time for you but take some time for yourself and relax. I know it's easy for me to say since I'm not the one going through this but your mental health comes first and it directly affects your academic performance so take care of yourself. ❤️ you got this!! 👍🏼

Yeah my sister is taking the MCAT this cycle and her date got cancelled and pushed to the end of the year but then they opened up some summer dates and she luckily got one. The website was so overload when they released the new dates, that the website crashed!

Yes, these online classes are a joke! Wastage of time and money. I just unmute and minimise and do my own study. I just attend for the sake of attendance🤣

I am 17 year 2 month 15 days old 😆

I've cut classes if they say it wasn't mandatory to attend because i'd prefer studying the way i want ...there are professors that teach well & don't bore you but 95% (in my case, idk about others), i'd prefer to study at home, do research during my undergrad/grad times, or be in a lab-related class because they were way more interactive then memorizing notes from board..lol actually, one of my professors ended up being my undergrad/grad research PI/mentor/supervisor and he used to tell me even he hated classes during his time and developed his own style of teaching...😆

Honestly at my university, most of the professors don't even want to teach...they are there to do research but the school makes them teach so they don't really care about the students anyways. It kinda sucks considering that we are paying 40 grand a year to get an education only to teach ourselves. There have been rumors that the upcoming semester will be online but they are not reducing tuition for out-of-state students...higher education in the US is a scam.

its all politics...half of students are considering to either drop out, defer a semester, or do part time education...though i was on full scholarship, i'd agree that the quality of education has gone down...either way, the money being invested by universities from students is going to waste ...there are some old professors who won't leave despite having negative reviews from students like on rate my professors

LOL I had a professor for a class who walked in on the first day and said that most of us will fail his exams because he's a tough professor. On exams, our class averages were always 30-35%. I don't understand why he was so proud of himself about that because it means that he failed at his job!! *slow clap* If it were any other job, he would've been fired because he's not good at what he's supposed to do. But, these professors aren't scared of anything because they're all tenure.

yeah, i got used to that dialog from literally every professor or student like "Dude, think of something new."😆 but my professors would curve the grades because even they are aware of "rate my professors" or students who had those professors recommending their friends/relatives to not take that professor...

Well the prof I mentioned, had such a bad grade distribution that after that he was only allowed to teach in the summer. Curving grades is great and all but it makes us stress so much all semester and doesn't really let us know "where we stand". Tbh I learned nothing in that class except how to stress.

LOL so funny story (not really) but I was going to India the day after my semester ended so I was at the airport checking my grade on my phone. It showed that I failed the class and I literally had a breakdown in the middle in the airport. People were staring at me and my parents were like omg stop crying or people will think we are kidnapping you 😆 but then during my layover, I checked my grade again and they had curved it up. I was still not happy with the grade but at least I didn't fail and wouldn't have to take the class again.
