I'm just wishing everyone "good luck" on the upcoming MCAT. To those of you who are REtaking it (like me), I hope with all my might that you obtain the score you need to get into medical school. And if you're taking it for the first time, best of luck! I hope you only have to take it once, but if not, it's not ALL that bad in the end to take it again.
Oh, and a bit of advice for everyone taking the exam: DON'T DO ANYTHING MCAT-RELATED ON FRIDAY! Give yourself a break and take the day off. Go see a movie, go shopping, burn down a building, anything but MCAT stuff!!! Studies have actually shown that retention improves when there is a 24-hour period between learning and applying said knowledge. So, with that said, study hard on Thursday (take a full-length) and then don't do anything on Friday.
Best of luck to everyone!
