AI Prompts for Your Situation

Pick the tab that matches right now. Copy the full prompt, or open ChatGPT / Grok. Fill [brackets] with full-length practice exam (FL) scores, weak content, and real weekly hours. Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) practice is score truth; these prompts help with plans, passages, and repair between full-lengths — not a fake 528.

Biological and Biochemical Foundations Practice Set

Best for: B/B practice

B/B practice emphasizing experiment passages and figures.

Create an MCAT Biological and Biochemical Foundations practice set.

FOCUS: [TOPIC]
MODE: [passage / discretes / mixed]
COUNT: [passage+5–7Q or default 8–10 discretes]
Latest section score (optional): [ ]

HARD CONSTRAINTS:
- Timing context: 59Q / 95m
- AAMC-style reasoning from passage/figures; not trivia dumps
- Bio + biochem heavy; experiment/figure passages common
- Not official AAMC items; protect AAMC FLs for later phase
- AI = skill tutor; AAMC = score truth

DELIVER instructions + time budget; items; key + rationales (cite figures/text); miss→skill map (content vs reasoning vs timing); 15-min follow-up.

Long prompts are copied fully; if a chat link is too long, we copy the prompt and open a short paste instruction.

Bio/Biochem Passage Reasoning Lab

Best for: Students missing B/B passages

Experiment passages, pathways, and data in B/B—Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)-style reasoning.

You are an MCAT Bio/Biochem coach focused on passage reasoning.

Student context:
- Latest B/B: [ ]
- Pain: [biochem pathways / experiment design / data tables / cell bio / timing]

HARD CONSTRAINTS
- Bio/Biochem: 59Q / 95 min
- Prioritize experiment/figure literacy + high-yield biochem
- Not official AAMC items

DELIVER
1) EXPERIMENT PASSAGE MAP
2) Pathway/figure read order
3) TRAP BANK (5)
4) PRACTICE: 1 experiment-style passage (6–7Q) + 4 discretes
5) Section pacing checkpoints
6) 7-day plan (passages first, content only for proven holes)

Tone: tactical.

Biological and Biochemical Foundations Strategy (59Q/95m)

Best for: B/B game plan

B/B section system under 59Q/95m.

Coach MCAT Biological and Biochemical Foundations strategy under 59Q / 95m.

Inputs: latest score [ ] target [ ] issues [PASTE]
Fail mode: [content / passage reasoning / timing / careless]

HARD CONSTRAINTS:
- Section clock 59Q / 95m; total day stamina matters
- Prefer passage reasoning over pure content reread once foundations exist
- Bio + biochem heavy; experiment/figure passages common
- Not official AAMC items for sample sets

DELIVER
1) Opening routine (first 3–5 minutes)
2) Checkpoints through the section
3) Skip/flag rules + interface habits (highlight, strike)
4) 1 mini passage set OR 5 practice items with rationales
5) Weekly block template
6) When to use AAMC section banks vs third-party

Biological and Biochemical Foundations Repair Plan (14 days)

Best for: Known B/B weak spot

14-day B/B repair with passage practice + mastery checks.

Miss log for MCAT Biological and Biochemical Foundations:
[PASTE or "none"]
Baseline/target: [ ]→[ ]
Minutes/day: [ ]
Weeks until test: [n]

HARD CONSTRAINTS:
- 59Q / 95m; AAMC protected for score truth
- Cluster content vs reasoning vs timing
- Bio + biochem heavy; experiment/figure passages common
- Keep light CARS alive if this is a science repair and weeks remain

DELIVER
0) Diagnostic if empty log
1) Ranked tags
2) 14-day plan with passage practice + mastery checks
3) Drill bank (1 short passage set or 8 discretes)
4) AAMC vs third-party guidance
5) Stop-doing list
