MY MCAT Story and 6 MCAT Tips

[@MikeSmith-te7yp]

Man I agree with you, I cannot stress enough how important is to REVIEW the questions you took. I learned more reviewing my questions why right and why wrong than reading page by page

[@AaronTrillo]

It is still true in medical school. 100% shows me where I am weak and need review!

[@MedicineMomvlog]

It sure pays off to not give up. :)

[@AaronTrillo]

I hope not!

[@munnesa1]

You know I appreciate your honesty. It's really hard when people recommend Kaplan and all this test prep but the truth is if we don't put in the time to understand the right and wrong answers there is no point of spending $3000 on a program. I personally am getting ready to take it the second time and I will be focusing more on my wrong and right answers rather than mindlessly taking exams. Thank you for your video. Appreciate it, I wish i could know your first score :)

[@AaronTrillo]

Thank you Munnesa! I am glad this helped you. I will reveal my scores in good time :]

[@catriona3474]

Enjoying your videos! Would be great to see a video on your tips for starting med school and your note taking/revision process

[@AaronTrillo]

Thanks for the suggestion! I will make one.

I can't sleep it's like 2:21 am so I'm binge watching old stuff

[@AaronTrillo]

Jeez man! You need your sleep to perform well! Haha.

Studying for mcat is extra hard for me I just recently graduated and I have no motivation Plus I live my Gf and two lil boys Smh so no quiet time

[@AaronTrillo]

I 100% get it. I didn't have a schedule when I studied the 2nd time. I worked in a busy lab and studied in between running lab tests and processing lab specimens! I believe in you! When you sit down to study then STUDY. Don't come watch my videos ;P haha. Put your phone away and do not get on any social media the whole time you are there!

[@ericmanso7355]

@@AaronTrillo quick question Aaron did you take notes while studying for the mcat i am very weak on most of the subjects and i got 480 on practice test

[@AaronTrillo]

For a 480 on a practice test tells me you still have A LOT of content review to get through. focus on learning the material then focus on test taking skills with what you know!

[@kxlypsobeautytv5447]

This was a very helpful video! Thanks for your insight. I do have one question, Which set of books did you prefer?

[@AaronTrillo]

Hi Kharri Land I have a video out on which I think is better. Make sure to check it out!

[@jhonrenaultrocios2745]

I usually hide my phone when going to start studying especially when im rationalizing the practice test.

[@AaronTrillo]

Yes. Throw it in the ocean when studying :)

[@jhonrenaultrocios2745]

I would, just to keep me on track.

Good stuff bro!

[@AaronTrillo]

Thanks JB!

[@keertikurapati7303]

Can you please talk about your undergrad journey that got you into medical school?

[@AaronTrillo]

Hello Keerti, I do have various videos on premed advice where I share my story for that particular topic. I should definitely make a full ONE video story to share it all. Thank you for the suggestion and keep an eye out for that video!

[@TheBalegdehShow]

I love this video

[@AJ-ul1lt]

Any tips for Canadians applying US med schools

[@AaronTrillo]

Oh man unfortunately I have no idea! I am not sure what is required from international applicants but I am sure the admissions website for each school will show you. I know my school has 0 international applicants in my current class but its the nature of state schools.

[@AJ-ul1lt]

I really hope you find them useful as well as entertaining!

[@MCATBros]

Hey all! We created a mcat study group for those studying for their mcat exam (and those just starting out). We want it to be a place where people can ask questions and get resposes from those who have completed their test! facebook.com/groups/mcatbros

[@AaronTrillo]

Sorry MCAT Bros! Didn't realize this comment got caught up in "Held for Review." Appreciate your help for those studying! Aaron

[@barbiegirl-nb2wn]

For how long shall one study if they don't have any advanced biology/chemistry background? (just high school knowledge)

[@AaronTrillo]

I highly recommend you take at least introductory college courses in these before attempting the MCAT. Why wouldn't you have any of these courses? You need them to apply to medical school anyway.

[@barbiegirl-nb2wn]

Aaron Trillo I did do chemistry and biology at university, I still have many else to go, I'm in my second year so I was wondering if they will be enough.

[@AaronTrillo]

I would wait until about 1 year before applying to medical school to take it. Make sure you have 2 semesters of general chemistry, 2 semesters of organic chemistry and I would really recommend taking 1 semester of biochemistry.

[@barbiegirl-nb2wn]

Aaron Trillo thanks for your response =)

[@AaronTrillo]

Your'e welcome! Hope it helped!

[@leslieclarkson2291]

Did you go to UNM for undergrad?

[@AaronTrillo]
