If interested, be sure to check out my recent video where I detail all of the MCAT RESOURCES AND MATERIALS I used to increase my score! Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you are new🙌🙌🙌
I appreciate you showing your score report. Sometimes people on youtube say they score a 510, 522, 518, but never show their score report so how are we suppose to believe that you scored that high if there is no score report. Good luck to you in medical school, you will do great!
Thank you!! To me, transparency is key. My goal is to help others achieve their goals and honesty is the best policy lol thanks so much for your support!🙏🙏
Great video my guy🙌🏾 Very Informative, Personalized but also Relatable. Also you hit all points I believe the people needed to know to get a good score. Keep up the good work!!!
Susan, im happy I could help!! Be sure to check out the MCAT playlist on my channel for more study tips. Thanks so much for supporting my channel and good luck studying!
Thank you Munnesa!! I like your approach to videos using science-based evidence to studying and preparation -- really unique! I subscribed, good luck on your journey :)
Thanks for the post. Can you please make another video dedicated to your second time detailed prep for CARS and the PS section as they are my weakest sections to date? Thanks.
Thank you Farah! I’ll do you one better...if you send me an email with your question, detailing what is giving you trouble in CARS and PS, I will answer it in a video as part of my MCAT Q&A series!! I will also give you a personal response through email first before I even make the video🙌🙌 if interested, my email is terence.thomas726@gmail.com
Loved your video! I'm getting ready to study the MCAT next week and I'm having a really hard time deciding how to schedule my days. I feel like I don't have the content down well enough to do questions right now but I also don't want to wait till the last minute to start questions. Would you suggest still doing daily questions/passages even though I might not have gotten to that material yet? Thanks!
Hi Samantha, thank you so much for watching! That is a completely normal feeling. I personally used the first 4-5weeks of my 3-month study schedule to just get my content down then began incorporating questions. During my 3-month study period I wasn't doing anything but studying however. Not sure if you are studying for the MCAT and doing classes at the same time, but if so, you may need more time in that case. Check out this video I made on how I planned my schedule: ua-cam.com/video/cFqecJ8w7o4/v-deo.html Also, check out my MCAT playlist on my channel for more MCAT-related content! ua-cam.com/play/PLWf_fVogTUHq1tN46fYilWXNVGsjzNvd_.html Thanks for supporting my youtube channel. Hope this answers your questions and good luck studying!
Terence Thomas thank you so much for the reply! I’ve checked out your other videos and they definitely helped! Is there any way I could message you through email or Instagram, etc to ask you a few questions if you don’t mind?
I saw your comment that you had 80-90 formulas memorized, how did you do that? Trying to figure out the best way to memorize them all! Thanks for the great videos :)
Hi Lauren, thank you so much for your kind words and for your comment! It was a challenge but the main key was just repetition and going at them every day during my content review. I would take maybe 15 and try to learn those to the point where I can remember them automatically. Then add on another 15 the following day and so on. It wasn't a perfect process and you forget some here and there but the key is just repetition!! Everyone is different...some use flashcards, some don't. It all depends on your style of learning. Three tricks I used: (1) I would try to understand what the formula is asking. P=IV (power=current*voltage) instead of just memorizing letters and numbers. (2) I tried to understand and learn the units of each formula to help solidify them. A simplified example of this is for current (I). Current = Charge/time (I=q/t). In units, that's Amps = Coulombs/seconds. This trained my mind so that when I would see Coulombs and Seconds in passages I would immediately think of current. Then reverse engineering that even further, I would think of all the other formulas that have current in them, such as P=IV, P=I^2R, P=V^2/R (still embedded in my brain til this day lol). This is feasible for many of the formulas but not all. Some I just straight up memorized. (3) When trying to memorize them I would close my eyes and pictured the formula writing out the formula in my head and saying it over and over again lol. Sounds silly but it worked for me. I would say P=IV, power=current times voltage, Joules=Amps times Volts in my head over and over and over! Hope these tips help and good luck studying!! Feel free to email me with any further questions
Congrats on your score! And thanks for sharing your tips in this video. Would you be willing to share what your exam scores were on your practice tests?
Thank you so much for your kind words and i'd be happy to share them with you! Just send me an email: terence.thomas726@gmail.com. I will send you the overall and scores in each section
Great question! With Khan Academy I mainly used their content for review of my weak points in the science sections and also to learn concepts in psych/soc. I didn't use much of their practice questions, only the ones at the end of the psych/soc modules to see how well I retained.
Hi Jordan thanks for your comment and for watching! I have a video on my channel discussing how I studied for the MCAT science sections. Check out that video for more details! ua-cam.com/video/Rel3HKoaz90/v-deo.html
appreciate you Milton, and your support! Tailoring my study schedule around the testing style helped for sure -- getting used to taking 10min breaks and studying for 90min bouts at times without phone or distraction. Most times I would study 50min on 10min off (a modified pomodoro technique). Also practice exams were the best for me when it came to building stamina. I took a full length mock exam once a week 6-weeks leading up to my exam. I know some people who took 2 per week, but it all depends on you. Check out my other video on my 3-month study plan for more details!

I’m currently studying for my 2nd exam, I scored the same on the first one, with the SAME section scores! 😅
There’s light at the end of the tunnel - keep going!! Check out the mcat playlist on my channel if you need anything. Good luck!!

Another question, did you use ALL of the Khan Academy modules? Did you only use their website for practice or did you also use it for content?
Great question! With Khan Academy I mainly used their content for review of my weak points in the science sections and also to learn concepts in psych/soc. I didn't use much of their practice questions, only the ones at the end of the psych/soc modules to see how well I retained.
How did you get ur bio and P/c up so much? congrats!
