MCAT Study Tips that Improved My Score 10 Points

When I first took the MCAT I scored a 508, not awful, but not amazing. I knew that if I wanted to get accepted to the medical school of my dreams I needed a better score. I changed my study strategy drastically, these changes took my score from a 508 to a 518. Here are the top 10 study tips that improved my score.

Just showed this video to my friend who is starting his studying journey. Your videos are amazing! I think saying that there is no shame in postponing the MCAT is healthy advice, yet seldom mentioned by most people. I ended up postponing my MCAT a year and ended up doing way better and got into my dream school (T10!). I know I wouldn't have even been considered had I applied with what I was scoring on my practice tests. All my friends who rushed the MCAT ended up either settling on a school they weren't too happy with or ended up wasting a ton of money on that cycle and not getting in at all. There's nothing to be ashamed of if you take your time :)

YAY! For handwritten flash cards! I thought I was the only one. I love having everything right in front of me instead of waiting for an algorithm to generate my card.

Hi, I really wish you answer my question. I am ambitious to become a doctor. I had physics, chemistry and biology in my grade 11 and 12. I then did my bachelors in computer engineering (GPA: 3.75) and then did my masters in computer science(GPA: 3.25) . I now want to give MCAT and then apply for Doctor of Medicine in Canada. I would like to know if I am eligible to apply directly or any tips for me to become a doctor? TIA.

Great video 🙂 New support and subscribe 👍🏼

Does the exam test the same knowledge as practice exams? I want to know what does reviewing past questions really do? I often find myself reviewing a question and never seeing anything like it later. Please give me your thoughts🙏🏾!!
