I Am Retaking Mcat Due To Low Score - Help And Tips Needed

[DukeStukov]

Hey guys,

 

I really need some help/tips/advice. Ok so, I wrote the MCAT this September, and I did pretty bad. Now with the sciences, I think I can prepare that on my own, but I really need help with the CARS section.

 

My situation:

I got 125 in the CARS section. I will be writing the MCAT again in August of next year. I have 1 year essentially, (I am also doing university this year, full-time; but I will also have the 4 months of summer to essentially work on the MCAT).

 

How should I practice/prepare for the CARS, to make it 128+? Should I be reading a lot? What should I read? Should I do practice passages every day?

 

I am usually getting like 1-2 wrong per passage; I am not sure how to clear/cross the threshold to start getting 0-1 wrong per passage. Even if I have the best passage and I feel really good on it, I will always have at least 1 wrong. Did you guys have that? How did you guys fix it?

 

Thanks again for your guidance,

One thing that helped me with CARS was reading VERY slowly and carefully to dissect the passage. This allowed me to fly thorough the questions .

Cambridge Learning Center has a series of YouTube videos focusing on the verbal section that I found helpful! I only looked at them and used their reading techniques like less than a week before the exam and got a 128...I would suggest looking at those before you start your MCAT studying and not do what I did haha
