    Starting college this fall. What is the best study method of the MCAT for someone who's not good at taking standardized tests?

    I personally had a rough time with my ACT/SAT tests and was wondering how I can prepare for the MCAT. Some have said I should study long and hard two months before test day and others have said I should study all throughout college. Any ideas?

    In desperate need of MCAT advice :)

    Alright everyone I need advice. I took my MCAT on 6/5 at 6:30 am and got the results recently. My last 2 FL’s (AAMC 3 and AAMC 4) were a 513 (129/126/128/130) and 516 (129/128/130/129) respectively.

    Best way to stimulate the COVID-19 shortened exam?

I figure this will help me build stamina and the 5hr test should (hopefully) feel easier fatigue wise after doing a bunch of 7hr tests with...
