There’s a manual for each of the major subject areas: chemistry, physics, organic and biology. These books should be read, reread and reread. You need to know this stuff inside out and backwards. Caution: don't knock yourself out making fancy flashcards and memorizing every keyword in sight. Remember your ultimate goal is *practice* and learning to apply what you know to passages on the MCAT.

I suggest that you divide the questions into manageable sets that can be completed in 30-60min. For each set, you should solve each problem without looking at the answer. Then, check your answer against the key (without looking at the detailed solution). Go back and rework missed problems and see if you can recognize what concept is being tested and why each of the wrong answer choices is wrong.

You will probably agree that the author of this 1001 book was a little overzealous. These questions are tough, detailed and really test your knowledge of the material beyond the scope of the MCAT. Don’t be discouraged if you struggle with these, just use the opportunity to develop your test taking skills (looking for the best answer when you aren’t sure of the right answer)

I suggest you regularly take practice exams, particularly as your test date approaches. For example: do a timed and environment-simulated practice test every 2 weeks. To get the most use out of the practice, refrain from viewing the solutions until you have attempted to re-solve missed problems. You should take note of concepts you are missing and review them in the study books.

Is physics making your MCAT prep seem impossible? Don’t feel so guilty… the Examkrackers Physics book is not the best but THIS one is! This ones much more lengthy, contains more problems and will take longer to work through; But, you’ll feel more confident in your physics (if that’s what you need!)
