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 :)

    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.

    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🙏🏾!!

    hit the gym build more self-esteem ur not ugly. Try getting to bodyfat percentage of 9% before u claim urself as ugly. People underestimate their facial aesthetics without even getting down to single digit bodyfat percentage. Remember all the celebrities and good looking models are in constant diet for certain look. I highly advise you to get on gym life and get that low bodyfat range. You will be amazed at how you will look. trust me.
