This Explanations thread is unlike the others: it is intended to provide answers to questions about how best to study for the MCAT that are not related to a particular subject. The moderators do not have a consensus on some of these questions, and whenever this has happened, we have posted everyone's views. Unfortunately, the strategies that worked best for Shrike might not be the best ones for QofQuimica, or Nutmeg, or jmugele, or MoosePilot, or lorelei, or you. There is no universal secret method to doing well on the MCAT, and it may take quite a bit of trial and error before you figure out which test-taking methods are best for you. Thus, we advise students to try several strategies, use the ones that work best for them, and practice their preferred strategies thoroughly, starting long before test day.
