Planning on taking your MCAT soon or retaking it? Here are a few tips before you start!
✔️There is no perfect study method. Play around with different study habits until you feel comfortable with one. I chose a more practice based method while others do a content review based method. Everyone is different! 🤓
✔️Plan ahead! If you have a 3 month plan, add an extra month for you to get adjusted to studying. It took me about a month of experimentation and building good study habits before I can say I was truly focused studying. 📆
✔️Find out WHEN you should study. Will you do it in the morning? Evening? Both? Only on the weekends? Again, you can use the extra month (discussed above) to play around with different methods. 👌
✔️Get in touch with others. Either make a group or follow accounts of those studying for the MCAT. This will constantly remind you that you’re not the only one going through the STRUGGLE 😭. Nothing is better than being able to vent to someone undergoing the same stress.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask!
