The tips begin at a different place in each module. The advice moves along with the stages of the course.

Every time you begin a new chapter in one of your MCAT books always be sure to skim the chapter first. Look at the bold headings, the figures and formulas. Learn how the chapter is organized. Outline the topic in your mind. Visualize the phenomena. This doesn't take very long. Priming a topic before deeper study facilitates processing later. Priming gives your knowledge base structure. Before you tunnel through a mountain, you should always take the time to walk around it.
