Today’s guest is Nick Zehner, a Stanford medical student and the founder of Testing Solutions. Testing Solutions provides studying resources for the Critical Analysis and Reading Skills (CARS) section of the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). He took a unique path to becoming a medical student, first obtaining a master’s degree in religious philosophy.

Nick tells us about Testing Solutions, including why he created it and why it is helpful for students. Many students find the CARS section the most difficult section, so Nick gives advice on what to do in preparation for it. He even recommends resources besides his own. Nick also shares what his med school experience has been like in the context of going a non-traditional route and speaks about the mental challenges of preparing for CARS.
