- [How to Get a High MCAT Score – My 99th Percentile MCAT Score](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-i-scored-in-the-99th-percentile-on-the-mcat-without-spending-thousands-on-a-test-prep-company/): It turns out that my new friend was a tutor for one of the major prep companies, and he told me all about the program. It sounded quite amazing - lectures, study groups, private tutoring, review books, practice quizzes, practice exams, and the list went on. Despite the amazing benefits I saw in this program, there were two things holding me back:
- [5 Essential MCAT Self Prep Resources](https://mcatselfprep.com/5-essential-mcat-self-prep-resources/): If you are reading this blog post, you are likely in one of two boats: 1) You have signed up for MCAT Self Prep (yay!) but are not sure where to start, or 2) You are deciding on which MCAT prep course/resources to use and are considering MCAT Self Prep as an option. Whatever stage you are at in your MCAT prep journey, this blog post will help you determine the most valuable resources and aspects of MCAT Self Prep to maximize your success come test day!
- [Free and Low-cost MCAT Practice Exams and Questions](https://mcatselfprep.com/free-and-low-cost-mcat-practice-exams/): Free MCAT practice exams are crucial for the final weeks leading up to your MCAT test date. For your first diagnostic exam, I’d suggest taking the AAMC Content Outline Course (formerly Official Guide) Questions as a half-length diagnostic. Using the score converter in our Create-your-own Study Plan Course, you can convert your percent correct on each section into a predicted scaled score. This gives students a very accurate idea as to where they are starting from.
- [How to Study for the MCAT While Working or in School](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-study-for-the-mcat-while-working-or-in-school/): When I was preparing for the MCAT, I wasn’t in a position to “pause” everything else in my life. I was in full-time school, tutoring high school subjects to support myself, and doing clinical volunteering. I kept hearing stories of people who took three months off, studied 6-10 hours a day, and built their lives around the MCAT, but that just wasn’t realistic for me.
- [AAMC Bio/Biochem Strategy for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/aamc-bio-biochem-strategy-for-the-mcat/): This section feels like a content marathon, but the students who score highest are not the ones who memorize the most. They are the ones who know how to think like researchers.
- [How to Develop an AAMC Mindset: Thinking Like the MCAT Test-Maker](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-develop-an-aamc-mindset-thinking-like-the-mcat-test-maker/): When one of my students came to me frustrated after scoring over 85% on third-party materials but tanking their AAMC section bank, I wasn’t surprised. I’ve seen this pattern so many times. It’s incredibly common for students to feel like they know the content, yet somehow still struggle on official AAMC MCAT materials. They’ll say things like, “All the answers seem right” or “I don’t get why this one is the best answer.” The truth is, doing well on the MCAT isn’t just about content. It’s about learning to think like the test-makers. That means adopting what I call the AAMC mindset.
- [How to Use AI to Study for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-use-ai-to-study-for-the-mcat/): The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a daunting milestone for pre-medical students. It's a comprehensive exam that tests not only your scientific knowledge, but also your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), there are new strategies to help prepare for this challenging exam. Here's how you can leverage AI to streamline your MCAT study process.
- [When to start doing practice questions for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/when-to-start-doing-practice-questions-for-the-mcat/): You’ve started studying for the MCAT. You’ve created a study plan, watched your lecture playlists, and made loads of flashcards. Now that you feel confident about mastering content, you have one remaining question: when do you start answering practice questions?
- [The New AAMC Section Bank Volume 2: Everything You Should Know](https://mcatselfprep.com/the-new-aamc-section-bank-volume-2-everything-you-should-know/): Last year, the AAMC released the long awaited second volume of their MCAT Official Question Section Bank. This set of 300 questions covers the three science-based sections on the MCAT: Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems, Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems, and Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior, with 100 questions dedicated to each. We have carefully reviewed all of the questions in order to provide you with a guide to better understand and use Volume 2 of the AAMC Section Bank.
- [How a Third Time MCAT Taker Scored a 519 on the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/third-time-mcat-taker-scores-a-519/): I began my MCAT journey by self-studying only with the help of free resources, Kaplan books, and free full length practice exams. After receiving a “good but not good enough” score as I deemed it, I decided I needed to retake the test.
- [How to Use the Official AAMC Content Outline](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-use-the-official-aamc-content-outline/): After the 2023 MCAT season ended, the AAMC released their first ever content outline for the MCAT. Why hasn’t this received more attention? It has been buried in their Online MCAT Prep Hub, making it difficult to find and revisit. However, it has some great material, combining online textbook links with some of the already officially endorsed Khan Academy MCAT video lessons, all organized by the MCAT Learning Objectives. 
- [What Should I Bring (and Not Bring) on MCAT Test Day?](https://mcatselfprep.com/what-should-i-bring-and-not-bring-on-mcat-test-day/): Knowing exactly what to bring and not bring on your official MCAT test day can be stressful. Although the AAMC has official guidelines, it is always nerve wracking not knowing how strict a testing center will be and how much you can read between the lines. Here, I have condensed these guidelines and added my own tips, tricks, and insights that helped earn me a 100th percentile score and will maximize your comfort and performance on test day!
- [How To Get The Most Out Of Your MCAT Content Review](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-mcat-content-review/): As premeds, many of us are heavily achievement-oriented and we LOVE to see tangible results of our work. So, it can be tempting to approach our content review with a completionist mindset, where we consider our work “done” when we’ve read X chapter or gone through Y anki deck. It’s important to resist that urge to rush through content to check it off of your to do list! Instead, focus on mastery – do you truly understand the material, and can you reason with it the way you’ll need to on test day?
- [The Ultimate Guide to the AAMC PREview](https://mcatselfprep.com/the-ultimate-aamc-professional-readiness-exam-aamc-preview-guide/): While the MCAT is the most daunting test facing most pre-medical students, the AAMC Professional Readiness Exam (AAMC PREview) and Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics (CASPer) exams are rapidly being adopted by medical schools. Each of these are situational judgment tests, a form of psychological test used in many industries to see how potential employees or students would respond to realistic, hypothetical situations.
- [How to Prepare for a Medical School Interview?](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-prepare-for-a-medical-school-interview/): For more personalized advice, I absolutely recommend MCAT Self Prep’s medical school application course and one-on-one admissions consulting!
- [Mental Math for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/mental-math-for-the-mcat/): For many students, mental math can be one of the most frustrating parts of the MCAT. The bad news is that you will undoubtedly need to do some math on test day. The good news is that you don’t need to be a world-class mathematician to get the right answers! Here are some tips for approaching mental math on test day.
- [MCAT Self Prep Student Review](https://mcatselfprep.com/mcat-self-prep-student-review/): Thanks to MCAT Self Prep I was able to earn a 519 on my official MCAT that I took in April, 2023! I originally looked into MCAT Self Prep after browsing MCAT services online, but all the services I was coming across were extremely expensive and did not allow for as much freedom as MCAT Self Prep. After discussing with my parents, we believed that this program would be the best one to set me up for MCAT success. I started off by using the free version, but quickly switched to the Deluxe Pro Plan that I purchased on sale for less than $1,000.
- [30 Point Improvement on the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/30-point-improvement-on-the-mcat/): Studying for the MCAT can be a daunting task, especially when you have no idea where to start or how to structure your studying. I spent a few days online trying to research the best ways to study for the exam, and I was super overwhelmed by the endless suggestions I found through Reddit users and other study plan advertisements.
- [Which MCAT Prep Course is Best?](https://mcatselfprep.com/which-mcat-prep-course-is-best/): Every pre-med student starting their junior year knows what intimidating, stress-inducing exam is looming right around the corner: the MCAT. I remember winter break of my junior year; so many hours were spent googling random questions about this huge test that would seemingly dictate the rest of my future. When should I take my MCAT? How long should I study for my MCAT? How do I even begin to study for a test as big and daunting as the MCAT? If I could go back in time and save my confused, anxious self lots of time and energy, I would introduce her to MCAT Self Prep.
- [How to Interpret Figures in MCAT Science Passages](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-interpret-figures-in-mcat-science-passages/): This is especially relevant for interpreting tables where there is typically a positive or negative control with which you can compare experimental values. These will usually be indicated as wild-type (WT), or conditions in which no gene, chemical, etc. is added to the baseline situation. Numbers usually are not noteworthy in MCAT science passage figures (after all, what does 11% change mean without context?), but evaluating if a mutated gene significantly increases protein aggregation or apoptosis compared to a baseline value will give you so much more information! 
- [Should You Use MCAT Self Prep? Why I Wish I Had](https://mcatselfprep.com/should-you-use-mcat-self-prep-why-i-wish-i-had/): As you already know, test day is stressful. Not only are you nervous about arriving early enough to the testing center, finishing each section on time, and being able to sit for long periods of time, but also thoughts about how the MCAT could affect the medical school that you attend in the future are also circulating in your mind. Although breathing techniques and mindset shifts do help ease these nerves, the only way to truly relieve MCAT test-day anxiety is by being well prepared.
- [Which Secondary Essays to Prewrite for Medical School Applications](https://mcatselfprep.com/which-secondary-essays-to-prewrite-for-medical-school-applications/): Not sure which secondary essays to prewrite for medical school applications? I found that prewriting certain secondary applications made the entire process a lot less stressful. After a busy application cycle, I received 9 interview invites! With the next cycle quickly approaching, I believe that following this advice will ensure that your secondary writing is successful. 
- [What to Expect in the Medical School Application Process](https://mcatselfprep.com/application-hurdles-and-what-to-expect-in-the-application-process/): I spent four years of college working my butt off to get good grades, get involved with extra-curriculars, and I even took a 7-hour exam all to “get my application ready”. But the truth is, I had no idea what the application actually entailed. With a lot more hurdles than expected, I didn’t get my application in nearly as early as I would have liked. My application wasn’t verified until mid-July (I didn’t even know an application had to be verified), despite my goal to get my application submitted by June 1st.
- [How to Maximize Your Gap Year Before Med School](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-maximize-your-gap-year-before-med-school/): Sometimes a ‘gap year’ isn’t a year at all. Sometimes it’s more than one year; sometimes it’s less. No matter the case, the period of time between your graduation from college and the time you begin med school can offer a ton of value. 
- [What to do During Your Final Month of MCAT Studying](https://mcatselfprep.com/what-to-do-during-your-final-month-of-mcat-studying/): We like to call the final month, and conclusion to our free MCAT eCourse, MCAT Bootcamp. In this article, I will explain 7 things you should do to maximize your score during this final month.
- [The 7 Best Free Resources to Help You Study for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/the-7-best-free-resources-to-help-you-study-for-the-mcat/): The Khan Academy videos for the MCAT may be one of the best free MCAT resources out there. The AAMC understands that some students cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars on prep materials. Knowing this, they paid Khan Academy to use their FREE comprehensive study guide to make a comprehensive set of videos that covers everything on the MCAT. These videos are better than most, but some students choose to pay for more condensed videos or prep books that focus on the high-yield aspects of MCAT study. You can grab our free 100-page Khan Academy Behavioral Science Notes here.
- [How Riley Got a 99th Percentile MCAT Score](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-riley-got-a-99th-percentile-mcat-score/): When I was starting my MCAT preparation, I sought out high-scorers in the grades above me like a bloodhound. I wanted to know what worked. Now, having scored in the 99th percentile myself, other students frequently seek out me for the same reason, and I find myself giving two types of advice: studying tips and performance-enhancement tips. 
- [3 Ways to Maximize Your Thanksgiving Break](https://mcatselfprep.com/3-ways-to-maximize-your-thanksgiving-break/): For most people, Holiday vacations mean taking a break from school and doing something fun. For students who are in school while studying for the MCAT, however, getting time off from school is a great time to ramp up your MCAT studies. In this week’s MCAT tip, I’m going to outline 3 simple things that you can do this Thanksgiving break to get a (turkey) leg up on the MCAT.
- [How to Use Quizlet to Study For the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/why-quizlet-should-be-one-of-your-most-important-mcat-study-tools/): Many premeds are infatuated with Anki, but I found it to be extremely difficult to use as I was studying for the MCAT. Because of this, I simply decided to make all of my notecards by hand. Here are pictures of all the notecards I made while studying for the MCAT:
- [How To Master Timing for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-master-timing-for-the-mcat/): You’ve worked your way through all the content required for the MCAT. You’ve started learning how the AAMC wants you to think on test day. Maybe you’ve even gone through our FREE MCAT prep course! But despite all of these accomplishments, you still can’t get a handle on the timing for some or all of the sections on the MCAT. We are here to help! While we can’t fix timing issues overnight, here are 4 tricks to help with time management for the MCAT.
- [The 5 Most Common Mistakes Students Make While Studying for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/the-5-most-common-mistakes-students-make-while-studying-for-the-mcat/): I wish I had been warned of common MCAT mistakes before I started studying for the MCAT. As the first pre-med student in my family, I had no one to help me filter out the good MCAT advice from the bad. The summer before my junior year of college, I had three or four friends start studying for the MCAT they would take in January, and I started to realize how big of a test it was. I spent the next hour on Youtube and Reddit looking for MCAT advice and immediately regretted it.
- [5 Tips for Mastering Behavioral Science for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/5-tips-for-mastering-behavioral-science/): Many pre-med students are more oriented towards STEM than the behavioral sciences. This can make psychology and sociology content on the MCAT seem incredibly daunting! From behavioral neuroscience to systems and institutions, there are so many concepts that need to be mastered, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.  As a psychology major and tutor, I’ve spent years finding strategies that have worked well in my behavioral sciences classes. With these tips in mind, I’m confident that you’ll be able to conquer the behavioral sciences section of the MCAT! Want even more? Check out our Free 100-page Behavioral Science Khan Academy Notes! 
- [The Whole Medical School Application Process Explained](https://mcatselfprep.com/the-whole-medical-school-application-process-explained/): When I first began researching the medical school application process, I was completely overwhelmed. Between the MCAT, primary applications, secondary applications, interviews, and more, it was all very daunting! I wished I had a straightforward guide when I was planning my senior year of college. As a current applicant to medical schools, I felt that it may be helpful to provide a broad overview of the entire process. In this article, I’ll be walking you through the four main stages of the application process: pre-application, primary application, secondary applications, and interviews. If you want the full step-by-step guide to optimizing your Medical School Application, check out our Medical School Application Course.
- [Should You Get an MCAT Tutor? 5 Things to Consider](https://mcatselfprep.com/should-i-get-an-mcat-tutor/): Getting a tutor is not essential to MCAT preparation, but it can definitely be worth the money in certain cases. Price can be a big barrier to tutoring for many students, but having to retake the exam can also cost you a lot of money, time, and frustration. Perhaps the biggest cost associated with retaking the MCAT is the opportunity cost of having to delay your application. Applying a year later actually means you will lose a year of your future physician’s salary! When considering if you should start working with a tutor, it is important to be honest with yourself and consider the following 5 points.
- [8 Ways to Have Fun While StuDYING for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/8-ways-to-have-fun-while-studying-for-the-mcat/): Whenever you learn a new term/group of terms that you know is going to be a pain to memorize, think of a silly mnemonic device that will help you remember it. For instance, if you are trying to keep the differences between enantiomers and diasteriomers straight, you might think of the following: “Enantiomers are Equal mirror images, but Diasteriomers will DIE because they are not.”
- [5 Key Elements of a Good MCAT Study Plan](https://mcatselfprep.com/5-key-elements-of-a-good-study-plan/): I believe that one of my most important jobs as a tutor is helping my students develop good study plans, and some of my students have followed their plans to achieve scores in the 100th percentile. In this MCAT tip, I want to share 5 of the most important elements of a good study plan:
- [How I Scored a 526 on the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-i-scored-a-526-on-the-mcat/): Hi! My name is Denisse Morales-Rodriguez and I am an Elite Tutor for MCAT Self Prep. When I was studying for the MCAT, I was balancing full-time coursework with part-time research and shadowing. Despite this busy schedule, I developed time management skills that really helped me follow my Study Plan and achieve my goal score. Now, I’m happy to pass on tips and what worked for me to help you achieve a top MCAT score!
- [5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Studying for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/5-things-i-wish-i-knew-before-studying-for-the-mcat/): For me, starting my MCAT studying was tremendously stressful. My first step in learning about the exam was to take a practice test. While taking the free Princeton review full-length exam, I was floored to learn the level of memorization needed to take this exam and finished completely overwhelmed. Apparently, I needed to know amino acid structures and abbreviations, endless equations, and basically all of the information from what felt like every class I had ever taken all off the top of my head. Not to mention, I was supposed to be able to do relatively complicated math without a calculator? I clearly had no idea what the scope of this test was, and I was desperately far from my goal score after taking that first practice test. Slowly but surely, I was able to learn about the MCAT and exceeded my expectations. Here are a few tips that I learned along the way that will hopefully save you from feeling as lost as I did!
- [Guide to the CASPer and MMI Tests](https://mcatselfprep.com/guide-to-the-casper-and-mmi-tests/): The MCAT and CASPer’s Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) formats are on opposite ends of the medical school application spectrum. For the MCAT, we have well-defined content to study and clearly graded practice tests to gauge our progress. We put in hundreds of hours over the course of MCAT studying to make these improvements. Through practice problems, we can identify what aspects we need to focus on if we want to continue improving, especially using our MCAT Study Plan and practice exam trackers.
- [The Most Important Thing to Know About the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/whats-the-most-important-thing-to-know-about-the-mcat/): Becoming fluent in science means being able to both understand science-based dialogue as well as produce it. It means you are able to have an intelligent conversation with not only a chemist but also a sociologist. Becoming fluent in science, in short, means that you are familiar with the scientific method. The scientific method comprises four main steps: identifying the problem, gathering data, testing your hypothesis, and evaluating the results in the context of your hypothesis.
- [7 Steps to Avoid and Manage Burnout](https://mcatselfprep.com/7-steps-to-avoid-and-manage-burnout/): I remember facing burnout a month before my MCAT date and panicking. I had just finished my finals week and planned on starting MCAT Self Prep’s Bootcamp (a 30-day study plan that is part of the free e-course). I simply couldn’t bring myself to study for the MCAT. I needed to both address the burnout I was facing and figure out how to minimize it moving forward.
- [Mastering Content with Self-Testing](https://mcatselfprep.com/mastering-content-with-self-testing/): If you ask any friend who scored exceptionally high on the MCAT for studying advice, they are likely to tell you two things: take lots of practice tests and master the content through self-testing. We’ve already covered how to take practice tests in other blog posts, so for now let’s focus on self-testing. 
- [MCAT Study Schedule – For 3 Months, 6 Months, and 8 Months](https://mcatselfprep.com/mcat-study-schedule-for-3-months-6-months-and-8-months/): This is the biggest determinant of how many study hours you need before you can reach your goal MCAT score. But without a good understanding of your starting point, this is impossible to answer. If you haven’t taken the MCAT or done an AAMC full-length or half-length exam (we recommend the AAMC Content Outline Course (formerly Official Guide) as a great diagnostic tool) in the last 3 months, take one before going any further. Otherwise, you may not be planning enough study hours to achieve your dream.
- [Should You Retake the MCAT? 3 Key Things to Consider](https://mcatselfprep.com/should-you-retake-the-mcat-3-key-things-to-consider/): Studying your butt off for months, suffering through an anxiety-inducing test day, and then waiting an entire month just to get a lower-than-expected MCAT score is by no means a pleasant experience. It truly is the worst. It is so bad in fact that many students decide to quit trying to go to medical school altogether. But, please don't despair. You may still have a good chance without needing to take the MCAT again. In this MCAT Study Tip, let's consider three things that will help you decide on what steps to take next:
- [What MCAT Score Do I Need?](https://mcatselfprep.com/mcat-score-what-do-i-need-to-get/): The MCAT is the only consistent academic measure available to admissions committees. For this reason, the MCAT is more important than your GPA when it comes to Medical School admissions. However, there are several factors to consider before asking what MCAT score you need. Firstly, what is it that you are trying to use your MCAT score to do? This will narrow down the question enough that we can actually answer it! The way I see it, there’s at least four versions of this question:
- [How Max Got a 523 on the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-max-got-a-523-on-the-mcat/): My name is Max Wilberding and I am an Elite Tutor for MCAT Self Prep. Since achieving a 99th Percentile score last year, I have spent my time tutoring students in both the MCAT’s reading and content essentials, but also in the importance of diligence and mental health. I hope the successes and failures of my journey help you take this exam even stronger than I did.
- [How to Spend Your Final Week Before the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-spend-your-final-week-before-the-mcat/): When I started studying for USMLE Step 1 (“the boards”), I wondered which aspects of MCAT studying would come up again. Some biochemistry topics felt comfortable (amino acids and protein structure), and some topics required more learning (urea cycle and nucleotide metabolism). Yet, at the end of the day, building a quality study schedule really reminded me of my own MCAT studying and my years of tutoring. Of course the material is different, but building a study plan will always have the same key elements:
- [How to Balance Your Medical School Application with Studying for the MCAT](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-balance-your-medical-school-application-with-studying-for-the-mcat/): Yet despite the hurdles down the road, this is not to downplay the difficulty of getting into medical school. It’s emotionally exhausting. And requires lots of work! But I hope I can also highlight the importance of multitasking when it comes to doing difficult things. For those taking the MCAT the same year that they apply to medical school, you will need to balance studying, writing your application, and getting letters of recommendation. In this article, I’ll explain the best way to balance all of this – and if you're interested in one-on-one application support, our admissions consultants would be glad to help!
- [Don’t Cancel Your Exam Score!](https://mcatselfprep.com/dont-cancel-your-exam-score/): When you sit down to take the MCAT, you have already prepared for months. You probably have a loose idea of how you will score, especially if you’ve followed our FREE Ecourse and done those AAMC mini exams and full-lengths. With our MCAT Study Plan, there’s even a tab where you can track your progress over time to see your growth!
- [How to Get Off the Waitlist and Negotiate Better Financial Aid for Medical School](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-get-off-the-waitlist-and-negotiate-better-financial-aid-for-medical-school/): It’s that time of year again! Every April, medical school applicants begin the last phase of the medical school journey: negotiations. 
- [How to Memorize MCAT Content: 4 Strategies](https://mcatselfprep.com/how-to-memorize-mcat-equations/): The best trick in learning how to memorize MCAT equations is by teaching them to others. Teaching the material reflects a mastery of the content. If you are part of a study group, take turns explaining concepts with your peers as if they are entirely unfamiliar with the material. Schedule a session with your tutor and “teach” while they carefully listen to your explanations for accuracy. Even pretending to present material to an audience can help identify weak areas that need extra review!

- [10 Most Commonly Missed Concepts Course](https://mcatselfprep.com/product/most-commonly-missed-concepts-course/): Some MCAT concepts are tested over and over again while others are almost never tested at all, and having conducted hundreds of tutoring sessions, I have a unique perspective on which MCAT concepts are well-tested as well as which concepts tend to cause students the most trouble.

- [Andrew’s High-speed Math Mastery Course](https://mcatselfprep.com/product/andrews-high-speed-math-mastery-course/): Running out of time can be a nightmare on the MCAT, costing you precious points that you otherwise would have easily been able to capture. MCAT math is especially intimidating because you are not permitted to use a calculator, yet you are being asked to solve calculations that seem nigh to impossible without one. Logs, square roots, and even trigonometry are all fair game on the MCAT. My high-speed math mastery course will walk you through all the math that the MCAT might throw at you in a very gradual, step-by-step manner over the course of 10 easy-to-follow lessons. Each lesson contains a Quizlet that will allow you to practice what you are learning, and this mastery course contains over 450 practice problems, which will leaving you feeling 100 percent confident in your math abilities.

- [Andrew’s Metabolic Pathways Mastery Course](https://mcatselfprep.com/product/andrews-metabolic-pathways-mastery-course/): The metabolic pathways get tested on the MCAT over and over again. Although the MCAT doesn't expect you to know every single thing about every single biochemical pathway, they do expect you to have the key details of the most important pathways memorized to a T. And that is the purpose of this course — To give you the tools you need to quickly and efficiently refresh your memory on only the most important biochemical pathways, the ones the MCAT is very likely to challenge you with on test day. And best of all, you should be able to complete this course in a matter of hours as compared to the hundreds of hours it would take you to re-memorize the mountain of notes from your previous biochemistry course.
- [Andrew’s Amino Acid Mastery Course](https://mcatselfprep.com/product/andrews-amino-acid-mastery-course/): The MCAT loves to test your understanding of the amino acids, and many students who have taken the 2015 MCAT have reported that questions about amino acids came up over and over again. The difference between knowing and not knowing your amino acids may be the difference between scoring a 510 and a 515 on test day. Knowing these biomolecules inside and out is key to getting a top MCAT score. Getting a clear understanding of amino acids can be difficult because every resource will tell you something different, but my mastery course gets straight to the point, telling you exactly what to memorize without wasting your time on petty details.
- [Andrew’s Equation Mastery Course](https://mcatselfprep.com/product/andrews-equation-mastery-course/): Because the AAMC doesn't specify which equations you should and should not remember, it is extremely difficult to know which equations are worth the time and effort of memorizing. Most prep books list 300+ equations, but most of these equations will be provided to you on test day, so it is a waste of your time to memorize all of them. In an effort to solve this dilemma, I've sorted through the fluff to give you a list of the only equations you should spend your time on. You won't waste your time memorizing equations that the AAMC will more than likely provide for you on test day or equations that are easy as pie (i.e. F = ma) and not worth your precious study time. The 100 equations in my course are only the most high-yield, allowing you to quickly feel 100-percent ready for any calculation on test day.
