Study Tips & Strategies for the NEW MCAT
by nupur343 (Posted Mon Jul 23, 2018 1:19 am) Top 10 MCAT Tips for Studying1. Do practice questions.This is an obvious one. The MCAT is not a test of pure memorization. Instead, it ’s a test of your ability to apply your knowledge of scientific concepts to novel scenarios and think critically about newly introduced information. Practice problems are the best way to hone these skills2.ake practice tests.The MCAT is a long exam. You have 6 hours and 15 minutes of test-taking time and another hour or so of breaks. You need to take practice tests to build up the mental stamina to maintain focus throughout the exam. Pacing on...

QR playlist on DAT Bootcamp
I'm really struggling with the QR section on the DAT. Would the Khan Academy playlist that's provided on DAT bootcamp suffice for preparation of the QR section?
I'm open to advice for any resource that would help me with this section. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Non-trad MCAT study plan -
Hi all. I'm a wrinkly, old non-trad - five years out from undergrad. Content is a bit weak despite strong undergrad grades, so I need to focus on refreshing/relearning. Thoughts and input are appreciated on the materials and timeframes. If my test taking paradigm seems off - let me know!
Foundation (~2 month)
-Official Guide
-TPR Subject Books
-Khan Academy (as needed)
The biggest personal challenge will be content review. From reviewed threads, a dedicated two months to studying...

How representative is Khan academy vs AAMC question packs?
I've been studying for the MCAT in May and I'm about to start taking AAMC practice tests. Up to this point, however, I've been doing review with EK, Khan academy, and the AAMC practice materials. I've found that the Khan academy chapter questions are challenging, while the AAMC question packs have been almost comically easy. Both were developed by the AAMC, so I'm surprised by how different they seem. Has anyone else noticed this trend? For those who used both, which seemed more...

MCAT Physics: Khan Academy or TPR?
OR something else?
Physics at the school I go to is not really taught well. It's easy (thank goodness!) but in terms of preparing me for the MCAT, it really hasn't. I don't know any physics.
Should I watch the Khan academy videos? Or read my TPR book? Any advice on this section would be much much appreciated! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Low ECs?
Graduating in May with one more semester to go, and my GPA overall is 3.53, but without a pretty poor 1st year, it is 3.84 with a science GPA that is about the same. I have yet to take the MCAT. I am using Khan Academy, class notes, and Princeton Review.
I started with these during the summer before my third year.

Physics (Not feelin' it)
Hi all.
Lowest score on my first diagnostic was a 121 in CP. I've been going over the CP problems in Khan Academy and make sure I understand the problem and background concept in-full before moving on (this can take >2 hours in some circumstances). I'm attempting to use a question-based approach to better grasp this section because the raw physics/chemistry content is unbearable!
I'm DESPERATELY trying to avoid hitting the physics/chem books from my Kaplan Set. If it must be done to break...

Does anyone else enjoy CARS?
I never would have imagined that I would say "Gee, I like reading and answering questions", and yet, I am. I did a few CARS passages from Khan Academy and came away refreshed though that's not to say I was necessarily great at it. I'd do more but I'm still at least 1.5 years from taking the MCAT and it'd be no good if I ran out of passages.
Anyone else feel the same?
I sure hope I can someday feel the same way about the other sections of the MCAT. (Source: Student Doctor Network)
