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

After you set a date for your first full length practice exam, treat the run-up as if your first practice test were your actual test day. Imagine you just received a letter from AAMC telling you that your MCAT test date has been cancelled, and you have to take the exam in three weeks. What would you do? Make a plan and do those things. Get ready for your first practice test. The MCAT is the performance of a knowledge base. It's time to take full responsibility.
