The MCAT will be the most important exam you take in your Pre-Med years. It’s an exam given by the AAMC, typically for admission into US med school. In your WCMQ course, in will be used for promotion into the 4-year medical program. It may seem scary at first, but worry not. There are many ways to do well and pass the exam. The key word there is “pass”, you need to get 50% in the exam to be automatically promoted. Here are some resources and tips to perform well for the exam.

• Kaplan resources: online resources and will be provided free of charge by the college. It will provide a personalized course depending on the date you choose to finish the course. It’s flexible and very interactive as well. Highly recommended for revision. Link- https://www.kaptest.com/

 

• The official free AAMC resources will be bundled into the Kaplan resources as well. Link- https://students-residents.aamc.org/prepare-mcat-exam/free-planning-and-study-resources

 

• Kaplan MCAT prep books will be provided by WCMQ free of charge, along with their online versions as well. However, if you want to borrow one, feel free to ask any of your seniors!

 

• Sign in for Kaplan MCAT Question of the Day; go to https://www.kaplanquizzes.com/mcat/, answer the question, then scroll down and enter your email – this would send one MCAT question everyday which is a great way to incorporate revision to your daily routine

 

• Start your prep early! Recommended 2-3 months before the exam. This is not an exam you can ace cramming last minute, trust me.

 

• Take practice exams even if you’re not ready. You’ll never feel ready and just starting something will be hugely beneficial in the long run. The practice exams will be accessible through the Kaplan course as well as the AAMC website (both links above).

 

• Don’t stress too much about the exam! Only 50% is required to pass, and even a failing score may get you promoted based on your Pre Med academic performance.
