Study Tip

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

The main topical progression represents one long cycle in MCAT review. However, you should also perform epicycles. Epicycles are shorter comprehensive cycles. Perform one at the beginning of MCAT review to prime and structure your knowledge base, several in the middle to fortify and maintain your progress, and many epicycles at the end to get yourself into exam-day shape. An epicycle can be as simple as skimming your MCAT books from start to finish or reviewing the presentation slides of the course from beginning to end.

Start early with cell & molecular biology

We can't delay beginning work with cell & molecular biology, a subject the exam is genuinely sophisticated about. That's why we are doing an early content review cycle in these subjects. This will not only give you a game for practice passages from the start, but will also allow our primary molecular biology discussion later in the course to be more advanced. This early cycle includes the Lippincott reading you've already begun, and in this module, we're starting TBR/Kaplan work. The chapters to complete (before module 7) are sections VI, IX, and X in Berkeley Review BIOLOGY. In Kaplan these are 1, 2, and 3 in BIOLOGY and 6, 7, and 8 in BIOCHEMISTRY. Work in tandem with Lippincott reading as much as possible. In summary, complete concept review and half the practice items in these sections before module 7, reserving the rest of the practice for later in the course.

Psychology

Study the conceptual treatment of Learning in your MCAT book-set and complete the odd numbered problems.

Review the conceptual vocabulary for Learning using the illustrated conceptual primer on this site.

Extend practice using the Essential Concepts ANKI Deck to include the Learning cards.
