The tips begin at a different place in each module. The advice moves along with the stages of the course.

In Bandura's social cognitive psychology, the concept of self-efficacy is a person's sense of being capable of planning and executing actions that lead to success in a specific situation. Self-efficacy towards the MCAT is your most important resource. Without self-efficacy, MCAT review is a constant battle. Draw confidence from your successes. Build yourself up. Counter anxiety with a positive mood. You can be successful! You've worked hard to get this far. People like you become doctors all the time. You can do it!

Suggested Assignments

Science Focus

Study the conceptual materials in your book-set (TBR or Kaplan) covering DC current, magnetism, oxidation reduction & electrochemistry, and oxidative phosphorylation. 

Perform the odd numbered (phase 1 ) practice items in your book-set.

Watch the videos for Module 11 - DC Current, Magnetism, Oxidation-Reduction & Electroschemistry, and Oxidative Phosphorylation.

Before moving on to the Integrated Course practice items, work on your physics fundamentals with the Concept and Question Cards.

Integrated Course practice items:

Revisit Ch. 6 - Bioenergetics and Oxidative Phosphorylation in Biochemistry (Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews).

Choose from the resources available within the Topic Pages to reinforce and supplement learning.

Conceptual Integration

Read the Interdisciplinary Notes for Module 11.

Play Catch Blue.

Take the Module 11 Cumulative Quiz. 

We'll be starting AAMC Section Bank in module 12. Pretend that this is actually exam day coming. Again, as we did in module 10, set aside two hours for a cram session. Study as if you were trying to get one last look at everything.
