As for the MCAT, my advice to anyone taking it is to focus more on the test taking aspect of it than the actual material of it. Much of the information that you need is contained within the passages, and I think the difference between a good score and a mediocre/bad score comes from one's ability to understand the questions, pace themself, and stay focused throughout the very long day. For me, one of the most helpful things was doing 2 or 3 full practice exams prior to the MCAT. I did them absolutely according to the MCAT schedule, including time of day, duration of breaks, etc. so that I could get used to what the actual day would be like and develop some coping strategies for staying on my game all day.<br /><br />Good luck however you choose to study!
