How to Study for the MCAT Strategically
Get Started Today Call: 888-839-9997 e-mail: [email protected] 20 Minutes Free Consultation For most of us, studying for standardized tests is stressful – perhaps very stressful. But the MCAT is particularly nerve racking; one of MyGuru’s senior tutors describes the MCAT as a beast of an exam.” Unlike the ACT, SAT, GRE, or GMAT, the MCAT goes beyond testing core academic skills like reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, critical thinking, mathematics, and writing. In addition, it tests factual and conceptual knowledge of biology, chemistry, and physics. So, you don’t have to just build your core skills, have knowledge of the test, and employ solid test-taking strategy with a high degree of confidence – you also have to literally know and recall a lot of information under time pressure. More MCAT prep is always better than no MCAT prep, but it’s not always better than less MCAT prep. How can this be? We all have limited time and resources, and your MCAT score is only one element of your medical school application. Overinvesting in MCAT prep, or in preparing for one part of the MCA, can and will lead to underinvesting in other areas that either brings down your overall MCA score or overall med school resume. By preparing for the MCAT strategically, which essentially means stepping back and applying some perspective and structure to the MCAT prep process, you’ll maximize not just your MCAT score, but the quality of your medical school application 4 Steps to Preparing for the MCAT strategically#1 Start by setting a goal: identify target school(s) and associated MCAT scoresIt’s tempting to say “I just want to get...
