How to stay on your feet
Introduction to science passages Getting to the answer Managing time in the science sections High yield MCAT topics Interpreting experimental data How to stay on your feet The MCAT you did not expect Focus and flow Exam day

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

Sometimes a student will overwork themselves trying to maintain a schedule of more than thirty hours per week on MCAT review. MCAT review is a marathon, not a sprint. Make MCAT review part of a sustainable, balanced lifestyle so that it coexists happily with all the other parts of life. Make it a part of what you do, not all you do. Pace yourself. Don't let MCAT review take over your life.

Comprehensive Review

Focused topical review is complete. Now your job is to cycle the knowledge base in comprehensive review. Reinforce the structure of the knowledge base. Remediate any remaining challenges. Bring agency and efficacy towards this process. You are responsible for the fitness of your knowledge base. Here are some suggestions for comprehensive study cycles. Some of these might take just a few hours, and some might extend over several modules. This is a major focus from here-on-out.

Skim your book-set. Read the bold headings. Look at the figures. Your book-set contains a basic comprehensive, structured representation of the core knowledge.
Perform the even numbered and straggler practice items. Finish your book-set!
Skim Lippincott Cell and Molecular Biology and the relevant parts of Biochemistry
Rewatch the course videos at high speed. Follow along with the session PDFs.
Tour the site Topic Pages from start to finish. Review the organization of each topic, and visit external resources, as necessary, for reinforcement and remediation.
Revisit your completed practice items, Question Pack, and Section Bank. Make sure you would get everything correct now.
There are some good 3rd party resources for comprehensive review out there (topic review at Jack Westin, shared ANKI decks, UWorld, etc.).
Play Catch Blue.
