In this episode, I’m sharing what I wish I knew before taking the MCAT — from study strategies that actually worked to mistakes I’d never repeat. Whether you’re just starting or retaking the exam, this is a real and honest breakdown of what helped me stay consistent, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently next time.

Note:

In the episode, I did mention that if you do not take your MCAT in May, you miss the application cycle. I would like to clarify on that. It is not that you will miss it entirely as there are and have been students who take their test in june, july and some, even in september and still succeed in the cycle. The real problem is that you will miss a lot of opportunities with medical schools as almost all of them utilize rolling admissions. So, while you may find success writing your test beyond May, it is recommended and advised you take it before May!
