So I'm planning to take the 6/16 MCAT and as I've been working through practice exams I'm starting to notice that I'm missing many of the non-passage questions. As in I'm missing upwards of 40%+ of them in physical sciences section in particular, while only missing 10-20% of the passage questions. Has anyone else found themselves in a similar situation?

I'm trying to plan out the next month of studying, shoring up my weaknesses etc, b/c there's some areas I'm extremely weak and get crushed when they show up, but I'm not sure how to prioritize fixing those vs. general content review for these independent questions...or if I should forget content review and just try to learn from the remaining practice exams.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Missing the discreets indicates that you need to hit the books again and review key concepts. If you don't want to do a thorough review, I would just read Kaplan or the EK PS again. For a thorough review, I recommend TBR.

1 tip is to memorize and understand every equation

I've memorized I'd say about 85% of the primary equations from the TBR physics books but I think I am going to need to redo some content review. I went back and all the incorrect answers are from 3 chem chapters / 2 physics chapters...all same topics wrong over and over again. So I'm just going to dedicate some time to those chapters I think and hope it pays off.
