It's MCAT* Time
1) On the night before the exam, try to get a good night sleep. The MCAT* is physically draining and it is in your best interest to be well rested when you take it.
2) Avoid last minute cramming. On the morning of the exam, do not begin studying ad hoc. You will not learn anything effectively, and noticing something you do not know or will not remember might reduce your confidence and lower your score unnecessarily. Just get up, eat a good breakfast and go write the exam.
3) Eat breakfast! It will make it possible for you to have the food energy needed to go through the first two parts of the exam.
4) Pack a light lunch. Avoid greasy food that will make you drowsy. You do not want to feel sleepy for the afternoon sections. Avoid sugar-packed snacks as they will cause a ‘sugar low’ eventually and will also make you drowsy. A chocolate bar or other sweet highly caloric food could, however, be very useful in the last section (Biological Sciences) when you may be tired. The `sugar low' will hit you only after you have completed the exam when you do not have to be awake!
5) Make sure you answer all the questions! You do not get penalized for incorrect answers, so always choose something even if you have to guess. If you run out of time, pick a letter and use it to answer all the remaining questions.
6) Pace yourself. Do not get bogged down trying to answer a difficult question. If the question is very difficult, make a mark beside it on your exam booklet and answer it later.
7) Remember that some of the questions will be thrown out as inappropriate or used solely to calibrate the test. If you find that you cannot answer some of the questions, do not despair. It is possible they could be questions used for these purposes.
8) Do not let others psyche you out! Some people will be saying between exam sections, ‘It went great. What a joke!’ Ignore them. Often these types may just be trying to boost their own confidence or to make themselves look good in front of their friends. Just focus on what you have to do and tune out the other examinees.
9) Do not study at lunch. You need the time to recuperate and rest. Eat, avoid the people discussing the test sections and relax!
10) Before reading the text of the problem, some students find it more efficient to quickly read the questions first. In this way, as soon as you read something in the text which brings to mind a question you have read, you can answer immediately (this is especially helpful for Verbal Reasoning). Otherwise, if you read the text first and then the questions, you may end up wasting time searching through the text for answers. In fact, sometimes in the Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences sections you will be able to answer questions without having read the passage!
11) Read the text and questions carefully! Often ..
