The first time I took the MCAT I got a 507 and was devastated because I knew that score wasn’t near my full potential.  After agonizing over if I should retake or not, I decided to lock in over winter break and was able to increase my score 10 points to a 517 (75th to 95th percentile) with an insane 3-week study schedule I created 💪🏼✍️ comment STUDY and I’ll send it to ya with my MCAT review guide (or its also linked in my bio!) Studying for only 3 weeks meant that all the information I was learning stayed FRESH — whereas when I studied over an entire summer (for my first attempt) my retention took a hit simply due to how much time had passed between when I first reviewed concepts in May to my exam date in August  My 3 week study schedule was absolutely brutal, but knowing that it would only last a month and I’d be DONE gave me the strength to keep pushing through my exhaustion on hard days spend reviewing practice exams and teaching myself new concepts  If you took the MCAT recently how long did you study for and do you think it made a difference in your score?? #mcat #mcatprep #premed #mcatstudying #medicalstudent
