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

Try not to watch the clock during the exam. It's too distracting. The unit of flow for the MCAT is 30 minutes. Come up for air at 30 minutes and then 60 minutes. Make sure you've answered about 20 questions each time. You're on pace to finish the entire section with 5-10 minutes left. However, if you're at 17 questions at 30 minutes, you need to go to plan B for the next 30 minutes. Take a deep breath. Don't rush passages. Plan B gives you more 'get out of jail free cards' for questions that may have you pinned. Choose the least worst. No time to go back to the passage. No time to try that problem again. Flag it and move on. Play just a few extra cards and you're back on schedule.

Comprehensive Review

Focused topical review is complete. Now your job is to cycle the knowledge base in comprehensive review. Reinforce the structure of the knowledge base. Remediate any remaining challenges. Bring agency and efficacy towards this process. You are responsible for the fitness of your knowledge base. Here are some suggestions for comprehensive study cycles. Some of these might take just a few hours, and some might extend over several modules. This is a major focus from here-on-out.

Skim your book-set. Read the bold headings. Look at the figures. Your book-set contains a basic comprehensive, structured representation of the core knowledge.
Perform the even numbered and straggler practice items. Finish your book-set!
Skim Lippincott Cell and Molecular Biology and the relevant parts of Biochemistry
Rewatch the course videos at high speed. Follow along with the session PDFs.
Tour the site Topic Pages from start to finish. Review the organization of each topic, and visit external resources, as necessary, for reinforcement and remediation.
Revisit your completed practice items, Question Pack, and Section Bank. Make sure you would get everything correct now.
There are some good 3rd party resources for comprehensive review out there (topic review at Jack Westin, shared ANKI decks, UWorld, etc.).
Play Catch Blue.
