Advice for the August MCAT

[premedbruin]

Now that some of you guys are done taking the MCAT, what advice can you give for those of us that are preparing for the August one? Specifically, I am interested in hearing about stuff you came to realize towards the end of your MCAT prep but wish you had known from the beginning.

Do more AAMC practice tests. Then do them again. And again.

identify your weaknesses by 4-6 weeks before the MCAT and keep trying to eliminate them. In the last 2 weeks concentrate on your weaknesses.

also, learn the material well
you might have to go over it again just to refresh yourself since you may forget details

But don't get too hung up on details. You need to be able to think and analyze fast. Most of the information you get will be from the passages. Make sure to study what you don't know and do as many practice tests and passages as you can get your hands on!
