Having problems with your study schedule ?

Clueless regarding where to start and how to start?

Puzzled on how to get in the nerdy mode efficiently, without risking much of your sanity?

Looking for a few tips every now and then that might help you to get through this horror part of

life with flying colors?

I am studying at K.E.M.U. My dear juniors, these advices that i will give you is not that I am

bragging or i don't want to sound like parents , its just a little experience and prevent you from

doing same mistakes and blunders that I did. So. now come to the points.The tactics and skills

you will need for study before MCAT and during the test :-

BOOKS and UHS syllabus:

The MAIN THING for MCAT study , everything comes from Fsc books for phy, chem and bio

corresponding to the UHS syllabus. Not a single mcq comes out of the UHS prescribed syllabi.

Learn and teach others.

What you study after memorizing it try to teach others. It will help you to keep you remember

. Lectures of academy are too difficult so that you will stick to them till end. They just give you so

much extra knowledge that will just give you tension. Self study is one of the major key to

success........

Time Management:

.

Opened a book and sat for some time staring at it blankly?

Took a pen or highlighter, underlined and highlighted stuff just for the heck of it?

Looked at the clock, jaw-dropped, an hour had already passed and you are still on the same

freaking page!!!

Relax.... You are not alone. It happens…and know what the problem is?

Solution: nip the evil in the bud. Stop avoiding the clock, sit in front of it. Consider it a duel with 

time, the old fashioned style, mano-a-mano. Note down how many pages you finish in how 

much time. Determine the rate and see what you can do to improve it. Where are you slacking 

and where can you enhance your output in shorter amounts of time.

Make Notes:

Try to make notes of important points from the book on separate notebook. Because last two 

three days you do not get a time to study whole book. Those days these notebooks will be very

useful and learn by writing things.

Past Papers:

Past papers are very important to judge what types of questions are asked. And about 15 to 20

mcqs came from past papers during my year. Gather it from somewhere ... some of your 

friends may know..

During MCAT:-

How much other has completed or studied overnight is none of your business! How much of 

useless or useful stuff

the other knows also should not concern you… not at least when it comes to exam preparation

.Stop eating depressors. There is bigger drama out there to worry your poor soul over and their

preparation is not one of it!

Control your nerves during test.... Control it for 2.30 hours just relax and believe you will ace it.

Cramming of vocab is the most imp thing for english. Grammar questions are easy and you

just need to take to take it easy. Bio paper mostly has the lines from book. Phy is little bit

conceptual but from the book. Understand it . Chem is just normal if you have studied you can

easily ace the MCAT.

At the end, don’t depend on complete cramming and burning the midnight oil. Add a little bit of

creativity, a little bit of edge and a little bit of brains to you way of study. Prettier colors of the

chemical mixture guaranteed
