Hey MCAT students, stop driving yourself crazy searching Reddit question-by-question for explanations to the AAMC full-length practice tests! We’ve put together something special just for you.
Below, you’ll find a complete list of questions from AAMC full-length test 2 (or AAMC FL2 as it’s referred to on Reddit) and embedded links to available explanation threads from Reddit. Where we couldn’t find an explanation thread, we linked to a crowdsourced Google Sheet from Reddit students with explanations for AAMC questions.
If a question has inspired a lot of discussion on Reddit, we’ve noted that with a HOT QUESTION ALERT!๐จ
If a question doesn’t have an available explanation, and you think you can explain it, we’d love to hear from you in the comments and we can update this resource and give you credit if desired ๐.
Disclaimer: most of these explanations were written by MCAT studiers like you. Our MCAT expert tutors are currently working on creating explanations for you as well, so stay tuned for those! In the meantime, if you spot any corrections or additions needed, please let us know in the comments! And please remember that the resources linked below are not owned by Magoosh.
