Ah, the good ole MCAT days. The review course combined with long drives, eating out, and getting rid of stress practically made me broke..but I would do it again =D..hmm..maybe not.
Practice..I did a good 3-4,000 practice problems, including 9 full length tests.
About 2 weeks before the test, I was sitting in the med school library, working on kaplan 6..doing the VR section..when I lost it. I blanked out...tired as heck.
Well...I was burning out. DONT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU.
I immediately closed the book, drove back home (1.5 hours), and proceeded to play video games/have fun for the next four days. This was also right before my final exams for the semester, which were hard as @)%(@#, but I came out alright: 3.75 GPA.
Those 4 days gave me back sanity, and I proceeded to study a bit more, until a week before the test, when I didnt study at all.
So, moral? Work hard, you'll keep improving. Don't give up, but also dont burn out. Have fun. Kick ass.
