I think its key to have songs that you can listen to so as to stay on track and not be let down...let's make a list. I'll start with a few:


Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
'Till I Collapse - Eminem (The intro is good)
Battery - Metallica
Lose Yourself - Eminem

Anything by Rage Against the Machine.

You Learn--Alanis
I Will Survive--Gloria Gaynor
Higher Ground--Red Hot Chili Peppers
The whole soundtrack from Run Lola Run
Just a Ride--Jem

And since someone beat me to Eye of the Tiger, I'd also recommend Montage from the Team America soundtrack.

I agree Ravin, Eminem's "Lose Yourself" and "Till I Collapse" were def motivational songs for me while studying for the MCAT!

Good luck guys, keep your heads up and keep grinding it out. Relax every once in awhile. If you really want it, it'll be yours :luck:

I'm a country junkie:

I Hope You Dance - Leanne Wommack
How do you Like me now - Toby Keith

"I hope you dance" kept me in college when I was getting ready to throw in the towel.

I have to agree with the previous poster, although I much prefer Dookie when I am studying. Otherwise some cool songs that I enjoy (a little bit slower and mellow, I can't stand feeling like I'm in a club when I'm studying)

AFI - The Leaving Song
Something Corporate - Konstantine
A Perfect Circle - Three Libras
Juliana Theory - We're At the Top of the World

Check em out, guaranteed you won't be dissapointed.
