Maximizing the MCAT score..??..

For people who already took the MCATs, what would you do differently in those Med School required classes such as Physics, Biology & Chemistry that would help you increase your MCAT score??

I dunno about you, but this is what I did when I was taking those core pre-med classes. Like at my school, we had web assignments for orgo, physics, and gen chem. Anyhow, everynight I'd just post them on SDN, have the gunners debate over the right and wrong answers, and then turn in the consensus "right answers" for credit. I just memorized all the answers, went into the MCAT, and aced both the physical and biological sciences sections. Hope this helps, FLY. :wink:

Wow.. guess I was on the right track all along... 🙂

NICE. a perfect 10 papa smurf.

FLY, i'd say you're on the right track because you're obviously very in tune with what you're doing and how it will affect your mcat score. just keep paying attention and learning your stuff well. lots of what you're learning won't be tested. a good idea would be to review all the mcat pertinent info on, say physics, right after you finish the physics course. same with everything else. or you could do it concommitantly (if i'm even using that word properly).

Bravo papa! You beat me to that reply (although less scathing than mine would have been) by 5 hours :wink: Studying for the MCAT is a case of memorizing that red book you can buy from Kaplan at the bookstore for about 60 bones. I could almost guarantee someone a 40+ if they committed the whole thing to memory (and no, didn't get that or memorize it :wink: ) --Trek

I second the advice to get the big Kaplan review book. I still use it as a reference post-MCAT for other courses. It's a really good review.

Take a LOT of practice tests from different companies. This is the way I studied the most, and I ended up doing pretty well because of it.
