[QUOTE="BerkReviewTeach, post: 22350099, member: 151966"] Improving your C/P score is the easiest of the four to improve. That section is unique in that you need a working knowledge of the concepts rather than a factual knowledge. Learning how to think your way through questions is what matters. Your content review should occur through exposure to material while you are doing passages and questions, rather than through reading and reviewing content. Learning to look at questions with the right perspective will raise your C/P score several points. Memorizing material via flashcards and watching hours of videos may not help your score at all. Improving CARS score is all about active reading and analysis. So many students waste time practicing outlining and formatting techniques when MCAT questions rarely reward such things. When you reach a point where you can predict what questions they can ask as you are reading through a passage, then you will see your score improve. Improving your B/B score is best done by learning to recognize fundamental concepts in research papers and articles. You have to look at experimental data in most passages, and the better you get at extracting information from a graph or table and relating it to a concept you have studied, the better you will do. Improving your P/S score is about knowing a large amount of terms and theories in those fields. Be able to apply the material you learn in sociology to current events. Be able to explain the nuances of psychology experiments and theories. If you can do all of the above, you will see your score go up. Not to rain on anyone's parade here, but the majority of people studying for the MCAT fail to do most of the above and instead try to read and memorize volumes of material through videos and flashcards, They end up only doing about 3000 practice questions (counting FLs), which is far short of what they should have done. The only way to get ready for the MCAT is to practice what they reward you for on the NCAT: quick, logical reasoning on multiple choice questions. [/QUOTE]
