I know we are moving into a technology crazed society now especially with smart phone apps. For Droid users, if you are looking to time your progress such as with passages, discretes, etc. There is a Droid app called "A HIIT Timer" which allows you to set your timer as if you were doing a tabata excercise. Let's say you want to do verbal passages in 6 minute intervals you can set it that way and allow so many seconds to "rest" in between passages. I thought it was pretty cool instead of setting your timer every so often.

I think it would be cool to hear if anyone is utilizing there smart phones with different apps to help them study for the MCAT.

Not strictly for smart phones, but I liked the MCAT question a day app. They also post on a website. Google it. It has a bio/chem/phys/organic question every day. I went through all the past questions starting about two years ago. I got in the habit so much to do the Q-a-day that I even did them for a few days after my actual exam... Then I realized that unless I was to take the dumb test again I didn't need to keep quizzing myself. It was a good refresher but not a primary study time tool.

protip: the MCAT Physics app by Watermelon Express IS the Nova Physics book. I was pissed when I bought the Nova Physics book for $30 and found out that I had already bought it for $4.

I don't know about the content for the other Watermelon Express apps. But, I would recommend the Physics one, since Nova is such a good physics prep book! Some tables/graphs did not translate well to the iPhone, however. For $4 I can deal with it.

I use an app for android called iFlaschcard helper (flashcard helper on the market) and it's free. It's basically a cloud for flashcards. I.e, I made some flashcards through my computer and their website, and anybody can access it on their phones/ipod. Completely free. Theres already around 50 MCAT sets on there.


This is also available for iPod and iPhone.

I got into the routine of doing MCAT question a day while using the toilet (people at work would wonder why I had the bathroom key for 25 minutes...). It took about 2 months to go through every question (I did them chronologically). I'm sure it helped!

Both Luther and I do our best thinking in the tower 👍
