How I increased my MCAT score by 24 points | FREE notes and study tips from a 90+ percentile scorer

[@Above5444]

Thank you so much for posting this!! I'm in month 4 of studying for the MCAT and I will be testing by next year, and l've been learning the question types and do my best to practice as many questions as possible. I watch a lot of videos here on KZbin and with practice, practice, practice. It's nice to hear advice from Good teachers here on KZbin who remembers that the struggle is real with this exam. Thank you again!! (Also, for the young ones worrying about not getting into Medical school soon...I'm 39 and will be 40 when (if accepted) I begin Medical school. Yup, I'm changing careers! So keep your head up, study and practice and remember you got this!)

[@LeonScalon]

You got this!!! Just keep your head down and grind. It will come in time. And love that you are making that move - it's never too late to chase a fulfilling career.

The truth is some people are just good test takers, and others are not. I didnt study much but passed easily. I know people who studied a lot and didnt pass. The most improtant thing is to work on staying calm during the test, and confident. Come up with little sayings and ways to remember stuff just like MR Tony always told me. I made up phrases that only made sense to me to remember things.

This is really inspired me!!!!❤️❤️. I hope everything works out!

[@Grdaew]

I needed to read your testimony! Thanks for sharing this story 🤗🤗

[@Mande124]

I failed 2 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is not to lose hope yet!

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.

[@bruh2495]

How long it took you to go up 30 points?

[@jamesmorgan3458]

What did you do?

[@gladyvette6000]

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!

[@sam_woo]

good luck!! I hope you don't have to take it more than twice🙏🏼

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 🙏🏻

[@sam_woo]

my condolences to your late grandfather🙏🏼

[@PearlObeng-Sefah]

This was the most realistic MCAT journey I have heard so far. Thank you so much Sam!!

[@OShawna23]

Love your personality -you will be a great doctor one that someone is excited to see ♥️🙏🏾🔥

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).

[@jphil1848]

This was such an informative not to mention hilarious breakdown of the journey lol. Super appreciate you sharing your notes. Thank you so much for this!

[@omarlemus4659]

I just scored a 529 on my diagnostic thanks to you 😊

What were your scores on the Mcat?

[@jenniferaidoo2423]

He says he ended with 516 And yeah he didn’t mention old scores

[@AR-yy9my]

Did you have a specific sheet you used for all of the equations?

[@sam_woo]

I made my own sheet to study off of, but Kaplan has a pretty good sheet of formulas as well!

[@DiptyBhuiyan-u9w]

Hi, soooo I messed up and I am doing my second attempt and I am kind of in a tight spot. What made you void your second attempt? I might have to do that this Friday...

[@lois4544]

Can we be friends ? I postponed my MCAT 3x already and it had been terribly horrible

[@lois4544]

It’s just nice to see someone that I can relate to; currently a senior in college! And I’m just disappointed that I haven’t took my MCAT yet bc I’ve been so afraid

[@mooskamooska8576]

You got this and I’m praying for you!!! Please know that you got this❤

[@helgatanny]

I also postponed mine to August. I was supposed to take it in May, then postponed it to June then August. I’m so scared because I’m working full time and I feel like I don’t have enough time to study well but we’ll see. We got it 🥹

[@musicmediaoutlets123]

What was your first score? Amazing you got into crazy medical schools with taking the mcat three times. That is baller bro!

[@strawverymilktae1280]

meanwhile me.... I decided a month ago I want to go to med school and become a doctor and don't graduate until later on so I'm hoping I don't post pone the mcat studying for too long ahaha

[@yoongi4lifeu219]

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.

[@jagnoork6013]

Is there really physics on the MCAT?

Yes 😢
