I used to think that school was not for me after I dropped out of high school and never planned to go back. Currently I am finishing up my Biochemistry Bachelors with a 4.0 GPA. With my new outlook on school and my own purpose I was able to score 518 on the MCAT (95 percentile). Study habits were one of the hardest things for me to learn. I used to not need to study but I realized that the MCAT was different than most other classes or tests. I had to build and learn many study habits to come up with a strategy that was specific for me and push myself to do the things that I didn't want to do.
I am CRLA tutor certified and I have been tutoring for the past year. Everyone that I work with has different skills and weaknesses. The MCAT is testing such a broad range of skills and topics so there is no single secret to success. I work with all my students to “diagnose” their situation and ensure they are spending their time in the most productive way. Often people don't even realize that they are missing a small technique or skill that can make a big difference in their scores. Whether that’s building your attention span, understanding content, or following AAMC logic, I will help you be the best prepared for testing day!
