Any tips, books, strategies that you would recommend to improve critical thinking?
I plan on retaking the MCAT for the third time next August so I'd really like to get a head start in improving my critical thinking skills. I realized I learned the fundamental topics through rote memorization - I pretty much absorbed every information like a sponge. It took me two MCAT exams to realize just simply knowing the content is NOT enough. Although, I did plenty of practice passages using TBR, that didn't help at all.
I'm ready to tackle the MCAT again, but I know it's too early to start studying for the August 2012 MCAT. What should I do?
Right now, I'm reading Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking.
Your advice is much appreciated!
