How I Scored a 528 (Perfect MCAT Score) - How to Study For the MCAT

What were the actual books (core textbooks) you used to get the foundation for the MCAT?

Bro knows everything 💀

Top scorer with a job. I work 3 days a week so I use 3 days to study. Practice problems, review of problems, review of contents missed, repeat cycle with another section. My strategy for CARS composes of highlighting the thesis, statements, and opinions. Then, I place heavy emphasis on reading the question and answer choices. Some questions I can get away with reading the answer choice and quickly skim through the passage to find the best answer choice. I do that seldomly because you might need information from the rest of the passage. Good luck all :)

Fantastic!!
I hope the awesome score allows you to critically think and not like typical zombie in lab coat changing “safe and effective”. Some embarrassing things doctors have done during pandemic. Hope our next crop of docs not quite as prone to mass group think.

This how to was very clear. Appreciate it!!!!!!!

Thanks a. Lot

Why is there only one guy on Shemassian with 528? If it’s sooooo evident there should be more people taking classes at shemassian and getting 528

I threw strategy right out the window on test day

Congrats for your extraordinary score 👏👏

Congratulations for perfect score !!
Can anyone study 8 hours a day for 3 months and score 528? I don't think so. I don't understand obsession with strategies without guiding towards building solid foundation.
I think ultimate strategy is to stay focused on core subjects what books to refer how to ensure we get good GPA and are geared towards scoring well in MCAT so much so that 3 month prep is enough to crack it and score 528.

What is the best study material to get for the MCAT?

Love this video ❤️❤️❤️ very helpful video 😊Thank you so much!

Can someone pre-med majoring in economics still pass the MCAT?

Med school and grad school in general doesn’t seem worth it. Better to get done with schools in 4 years with an engineering / computer science degree and make money right away, rather than lose time, money, and health for another 4-8 years in postgraduate.

Thank you!! Can you please share your practice exam scores?🥺

Is all MCat based on passage questions?

Is it necessary to take a coaching for MCAT?

How many months or years are required to study for MCAT to get a good score? I am a first-year undergrad student, so can suggest to me when should I start with my preparation?

nerd

I have a few questions! Did he only study 5 days a week from 8AM - 3PM? Typically what did his study schedule look like (duration of studying and breaks)? Would he do mixed content review throughout the day and then a section of a practice exam? Also, what are the best practice exams/practice tools to use other than AAMC and approx. how many did he take/use? Sorry for all the questions but thank you so much!!

Where did you get your Undergrad from?

does 1 time scoring on MCAT makes someone an expert?

I’m starting my Pre med journey this coming fall, I am not great at standardized testing, how far in advance should I study and practice, i feel 3 months may not be enough. Do you think a year in advance would be too excessive?

Thanks for the info Vikram! My goal is definitely not a 528 (not even in my dreams) but I still want a 520 or so. I have been averaging only 513-514 on the AAMC fl's do you think there's any hope for achieving my goal? Do you mind me asking what scores you ended up with on the AAMC fl's?

i’m not even writing the mcat i don’t even know why i’m here

tHE McAT iS HArD And ThE MCat Is ImPOrTant!

Ok I agree with all that had been mentioned until you said “before taking your 8th full length exam” I’ve only taken one practice exam. Can you please tell me where I could find/purchase 8 full length exams. Also you mentioned to take 2 exams from AAMC. Are these part of the 8 exams or are they aside from?

Please help!

Which major is the best to get in a medical college? (Nursing )?

I’m going to take my MCAT in March wish me luck 🙏🏻😊

Thank you. You nailed it in every detail! (Spoken as a perfect scorer myself on a different grad-school exam.)

As a 30 year old I have learned that the ideal MCAT study plan cannot exist with a fulltime job. Thus, I ceased being a idealist and became a realist. 3 hours a night of high quality content review is what I have time for and I'm learning to love learning again and enjoying the process.

I clean in-patients rooms at the hospital all day. I'm knee deep in the pneumonia, urine soaked gowns and stool cleanup. Its lumbar breaking work hunching over toilets and sanitizing high touch areas but the one thing I get to do is talk to those lonely patients. I see people at their lowest everyday and it's part of my job to connect while I clean to ensure they have the best cleaning experience possible. That said, I want to do more for them. (End of my why doctor weird flex)

I've finished college after 10 years with all my pre-reqes and a solid 3.70. All I need is this dumb test and MAN content review was a B** at first. I'd forgotten everything from bio, chem and psy. Its sure not easy but it's worth it even if I can get that 508 score.

Bottom line ya boy up there is spittin truth. Everyones MCAT experience is different and if you dont personalize your study you're doomed to mediocrity.

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually want more practice. I would really like to find as many passage questions as possible.

Anyways do you wanna get married or

hi, I m anika . I want to ask what are the best books for mcat? I mean which books we should read must for getting highest scores in mcat ?

What does taking passages mean?

Congrats perfect scorer!! Thanks for actually taking time to help others succeed on this brutal exam as well. No doubt you'll be a great doctor and best of luck!

I just purchased the latest MCAT books. Now where do I start ?

Im taking it soon. This is great advice 😭🙏🏼

Hi there! How long did you study for and how many practice exams did you take? Thank you!

Congrats,cousin!

This is great advice! I wish I had this kind of advice when I was studying for the MCAT (especially for CARS section RIP).

Are there any classes that you would recommend taking that are especially helpful for the MCAT? I’m mostly asking about classes that people wouldn’t usually think would be helpful for the test like humanities or something. I’m a sophomore biochemistry major with a health care studies minor so I am taking classes similar to a premed but I don’t want to miss out on a class that would really help for the MCAT.

Why am I watching this. I am in highschool

Lol good job good job. The story doesn’t end here my friend, be empathetic towards your patients, explain things in simple manner, and realize it’s a long road still . The MCAT is just a ticket into the show, the journey. Enjoy the ride. Use this same studying for your USMLE exams and you’ll be in good hands. Best of luck. Jaskar, MD.

what the best undergraduate degree to become a anesthesiologist? I am considering biochemistry or neuroscience behavior.... Any recommendation Doctor?
