2.5) How should I study for the MCAT?
Basically, whatever study methods have served you well in the past
should also help you prepare for the MCAT. For example, if you read
your textbooks heavily in class, then review your textbooks. If you
used study sheets or notecards in your classes, then review those.
A few other tips:
* It is important to be quite disciplined and to make the time
necessary for review. Most pre-medical students find they don't have
the time for MCAT review unless they make a concerted effort to make
the time.
* For more structured review, consider buying a review book (such as
the Kaplan MCAT Comprehensive Review with CDROM, edited by Rochelle
Rothstein) or taking a review course (see below)
* No matter what you do, take lots of timed practice tests. Practice
MCAT tests are available directly from the AAMC, in any book store, or
through review courses.
