This video teaches teaches you how to study for or a prevent the dreaded MCAT retake. My name’s John, I’m a second year medical student at the top of my class and I failed the MCAT three times before I scored in the 90th percentile. I then went on to become a professional tutor in an attempt to help as many students avoid the mistakes I made. Let me tell you what I did differently when I prepared to take the MCAT. For the final time.
In case you didn't know, I'm a current medical student and have a hobby for making free MCAT resources on KZread. I was a professional MCAT tutor for years before I decided to go back to medical school and scored in the 90th percentile on my own MCAT in 2020.

    Do you mind sharing your scores for your attempts? What do you consider a low score to finally achieve one in the 90th percentile? Was there an upward trend or a significant jump on your 4th time around? It would really paint a picture showing your tenacity and drive (and give others some motivation and a realistic view). Many thanks.

I’m currently studying and I am finding myself losing a ton of time taking notes and then trying to squeeze some practice questions at the end of all the note taking. It makes the process be super tedious and long and I feel like there is a much more efficient way. Any suggestions would be amazing

    I am terrible at kinematics. I can understand the basic questions but not complex ones. Other physics is annoying but I understand it and drill practice questions and flashcards on anki. I tried tutoring it helped some but I'm still terrible. Do you think this will haunt me on test day or should I try tutoring again?

    To be honest, bare bones kinematics like Jimmy threw a rock off a cliff at 14 m/s blah blah…isn’t highly represented on the MCAT. As a nerd, it is my due diligence to say that kinematics underlies all of the rest of physics, but if you’re getting other physics q’s right on your practice MCATs, you’re probably fine.
