Using AI to Help Me Get into Medical School

What's this blog post about?

The author, Jose Nicholas Francisco, explores the potential of AI in assisting with test-taking and specifically focuses on using it to study for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). He creates a Python-based pipeline that transcribes Khan Academy's lecture videos into text, summarizes them, and concatenates all summaries into one large study guide. Francisco then uses this AI-generated study guide to take the Chemistry section of the MCAT in three different ways: random guessing, educated guessing with his raw brain, and educated guessing with the AI-created study guide. The results show that the AI-assisted method yielded the best score, indicating that AI can be a helpful tool for test preparation.
