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

MCAT preparation tests your knowledge of science, but it also functions to test your capacity for resilience. It's better to think of MCAT preparation as a a chance to practice the art of resilience before medical school. Many premeds, medical students, and doctors think of resilience as a kind of indifference to their own suffering, but resilience is better understood as the ability to sense your own suffering as a sign that you are out of balance and to respond with positive strategies to regain balance, such as more sleep, more exercise, more social interaction, and less attachment to worry.
