General Tips

Top MCAT Study Tips:

1) Make space for the MCAT and be consistent in your studying

2) Don't just study for the MCAT – strike a balance. Otherwise, you risk burning out!

3) Self-reflection is key!

4) Plan out your study blocks.

5) Use practice questions with your content review.

6) Use multiple practice tests to build endurance, and space them out!

• The AAMC materials are gold standard for studying because they are the makers of the MCAT and are most representative of what you would see on the MCAT.

• When taking practice tests, try to take them fully and at the same time as you would take your actual exam.

• Don't spend so much time on content review that you aren't able to take practice exams. For some, doing the practice exams can be more helpful than heavily focusing on content review.
