Non-negotiables while studying for the MCAT🩺

‼️Sometimes all we do is blame the EXAM! We always assume that it is naturally sooo hard for anyone to get a good score in this exam! But did you know there’s people out there that are scoring in the 99th percentile! Ever imagined how they were doing it?

🩺As premed and future doctors, we should always learn how to pay attention to details. The above are very small changes you can make to bring a huge difference in your MCAT score.

1. Review each full length. Even the questions you got right!!! Make sure you do not start reviewing exams on the same day you took them. Please wait until atleast the next day, so that you can give your brain sometime to rest and then get back to it. It will help fill content gaps!

2. Practicing many Full lengths! I personally did 16! You need to train your body to sit for that long and concentrate, and practicing is the only way to do this.

3. Positive affirmations! Wake up every morning and remind yourself that you can do this!

... Read morePreparing for the MCAT can be daunting, but with the right approach, you can maximize your chances of success. One key strategy is the review of practice exams. After completing a full-length practice exam, it's crucial to wait at least a day before reviewing your answers. This allows your brain to rest and helps you identify and fill knowledge gaps without immediate stress. Additionally, familiarize your body and mind with the endurance required for the actual exam by regularly taking full-length practice tests. Aim for at least 16 practice exams to build concentration and habituate yourself to the test's duration. This preparation can transform your performance on test day, making you more confident and focused. Developing a mindset filled with positivity through daily affirmations can further enhance your preparation. Remind yourself that you are capable of achieving a high MCAT score. Positive self-talk can reduce anxiety and improve your motivation, making study sessions more productive. Integrating these strategies will not only refine your study approach but also significantly increase your chances of scoring in the higher percentiles.
