Study Tip

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

Maintenance rehearsal involves repeating information without thinking about its meaning or connecting it with other information. While maintenance rehearsal can help you keep information in your working memory, it is not an effective way to transfer the information into long term memory. A better path to long term memory is through elaborative rehearsal. Elaborative rehearsal involves thinking about the meaning of the information and connecting it to other information already stored in memory.

Start early with cell & molecular biology

We can't delay beginning work with cell & molecular biology, a subject the exam is genuinely sophisticated about. That's why we are doing an early content review cycle in these subjects. This will not only give you a game for practice passages from the start, but will also allow our primary molecular biology discussion later in the course to be more advanced. This early cycle includes the Lippincott reading you've already begun, and in this module, we're starting TBR/Kaplan work. The chapters to complete (before module 7) are sections VI, IX, and X in Berkeley Review BIOLOGY. In Kaplan these are 1, 2, and 3 in BIOLOGY and 6, 7, and 8 in BIOCHEMISTRY. Work in tandem with Lippincott reading as much as possible. In summary, complete concept review and half the practice items in these sections before module 7, reserving the rest of the practice for later in the course.

Psychology

Study the conceptual treatment of Learning in your MCAT book-set and complete the odd numbered problems.

Review the conceptual vocabulary for Learning using the illustrated conceptual primer on this site.

Extend practice using the Essential Concepts ANKI Deck to include the Learning cards.
