MCAT Preparation
Start preparing for your MCAT well in advance (at least 3 months before
the test date). Make a time-table of your MCAT preparation schedule and
try to stick to it. This will make your MCAT preparation more organized
and planned. Start your preparation with introductory biology,
chemistry, physics and organic courses step by step. Simultaneously
prepare short notes of whatever you understood. This will help you when
you revise the course outline before the MCAT test. Try to understand
the basic concepts rather than memorizing them. Here are some useful
MCAT preparation tips.
- The verbal reasoning section tests your understanding of concepts
rather than memorization of details. The Physical Sciences section
is generally a scoring section. A good practice of the entire
syllabus of Physical and General Chemistry before the MCAT exam,
would help you immensely in scoring well in this section. Try to
cover-up very common topics like Work-Energy, Newtonian Mechanics,
electrochemistry and acid/base chemistry thoroughly. For the
biological sciences section topics such as general reaction
mechanisms, physiology and cell biology are important and
concentrate well in these topics.
- Writing sample section has two essays to write. The ability of
candidates to effectively present their thoughts is tested. Two
readers will evaluate the essays and sometimes there may be a third
reader also. Therefore, convincing the target audience by
effectively presenting your views is very important. Keep in mind
that your written communication skills are the only factor to be
evaluated through your essays. The topics generally are not related
to medical subjects.
