  • [revamped with better quality and new tips!] Studying for the MCAT takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice, and I remember feeling devastated when I couldn't even hit 500 on my diagnostic practice test. Thankfully, I was able to increase my score by 24 points using these tips...I just wish I knew all this before taking the MCAT thrice (is this even a word anymore?). I hope y'all find this video saves you one less trip to the Pearson Professional Center...godspeed and best of luck to you all ;;

    I scored a 473 on my diagnostic so hope it makes you feel better. Let's just say it was a humbling moment for me. Since then I've increased almost 30 points and hope I'll continue to improve. Thanks for sharing your MCAT journey so honestly.

    I’m retaking the exam 2 weeks from today. I love anki! Anki helped me remember information in decks I studied weeks or even months ago. Part of the reason I didn’t get a good score in 9/2023 was that I spent close to 9 months studying to do unforeseen medical and family circumstances. I quit my job in 2/2024 to focus on studying. I also take Sunday off every week. I signed up for a June test date in February to keep me motivated and not burn out. Last year I felt like the studying would never end. I’ve been more anxious with test day approaching BUT I’ve been less stressed for most of my prep (and scoring well on exams).

    Thank you so much Sam. My 87 year ild grandpa has always wanted to be a doctor. I showed this video to him and he decided to take the MCAT. He took it and got a $599.99. He died a day after taking the test. Thank you so much again 🙏🏻

    Watching this 16 days out and realising I made the same mistakes as you did. I spent WAY too long on content review, studied passively and did no practice, and now I feel like I know nothing. I just hope i break 500 on the real deal (on the 31st) and then God willing achieve my goal score on my retake!

    LMAO, I am doing the MCAT for the first time, and I didn't realize that people schedule for this exam centuries before they give it, so now I am also having to travel to another province to take it. It's ok; I will travel, still give it, and still apply to med school. Ain't no bitch stopping me.
