You need to first understand
why you got it wrong. I think it could fall into 3 categories:
- Passage mistakes - these are problems with how you read and understand the passage
- Not finding a pertinent part of the passage
- Not understanding a key relationship in the passage
- Not understanding a graph or figure
- Relying on your content knowledge instead of pertinent passage info
- Content mistakes - these are content gaps that you need to fill in
- Forgot what you already learned
- New content that you haven't learned
- Relied on unrelated passage info instead of content
- Testing mistakes - these are kind of the miscellaneous mistakes related to the test itself
- Misread the question stem
- Misread an answer choice
- Ran out of time
- Math error
When you figure out why you got a question wrong then you can attack how to improve. Didn't know enough about the citric acid cycle? Better hit that subject again and learn more. Had no idea what this figure was referring to?

The other big piece of advice is to review EVERY question. Not just the ones you got wrong. The reason for this is that you might have gotten some questions right for the wrong reason. You might have just guessed right this time, but you are asking for trouble later if you don't understand every question and every answer choice. The MCAT likes to use similar tricks so it is helpful to get a feel for common wrong answers too.
