The art of learning encompasses many different methods of relating the material to a student through, visual, audio, hands-on, etc. approaches, and different people have different strengths when it comes to these different approaches, but the MCAT is a test the requires a lot of critical reading.

You may be better when you hear material, but now is the time to maximize your methods for written learning.

Until the MCAT is offered on a MP3 with a provided scantron, my best advice would be to push yourself to strengthen your apparent weakness with written material.

Yeah, this has been a major issue for me. As an undergraduate and postbac, I primarily relied on using read-out-loud programs whenever reading. This significantly improved my reading comprehension and speed. I've found that very quietly whispering the VR passages out loud can be helpful (sometimes).
