Hi,
I have been thinking about ways to help myself do well on the MCATs. I'm currently a freshman in college. I've only taken general chemistry. Like a lot of people, I have problems retaining the information I've learned after the final. For example, I can barely even remember what I learned fall term of this year in chemistry. I guess that doesn't necessarily mean I wouldn't be able to do problems that pertained to Fall term gen chem if given a test but I think you get the point: my brain is like a leaky faucet. I don't want to forget what I've tried so hard to learn but it just naturally happens when it's not being used. So, do you think it would be a good idea for me to buy an MCAT book and do a couple question pertaining to general chemistry each day? I think it would most definitely help me keep my knowledge of chemistry in check but is it realistic? I would do this for all the other science classes I'm going to take in the future. I just figure that instead of having to cram, cram, cram and relearn everything in three years when I take the MCATs, I can do it over a long period of time. That's not to say I wouldn't study before my MCATs but it would just make studying a little easier. Also, does it matter if I get an MCAT book from 2007 instead of 2010 in terms of the questions asked?
