The CARS problem

CARS rewards reasoning, not memorization. Here is what works.

1. Read for the author's argument

Ask: what is the author trying to convince me of?

2. Summarize each paragraph in 5 words

3. Practice daily

Three passages a day beats ten on Sunday.

4. Review explanations, not just answers

5. Use official AAMC material last

Save the real passages for the final month.
