Description

An estimated 71,000 around the world take the Medical College Admission Test, more commonly known as the MCAT, each year. Most medical colleges require applicants to take this test, and most schools look for a combined score on the verbal reasoning, physical sciences, and biological sections of at least 30. However, the average score, on a scale of 1 to 15, is only 8. How can you boost your scores and get into the medical school of your choice? Reading 101 Ways to Score Higher on Your MCAT and employing the practices within is one way to do so. In this new book, you will learn about and understand the new computerised format, as well as the content of the exam. You will learn how to read questions correctly, how to control anxiety, and how to approach each section. In addition, you will be presented with a list of resources to help you prepare and dozens of tips from insiders. 101 Ways to Score Higher on Your MCAT is filled with practice questions and information found in each of the four sections, including the writing samples. You will find reviews of physics skills; chemistry skills; general math concepts in algebra and trigonometry; finding the main point and relevant information in a reading passage; formulating, communicating, and proving an argument; biology; and organic chemistry. In addition, diagrams of the circulatory, nervous, respiratory, lymphatic, muscular, and skeletal systems are included. The MCAT is designed to assess your problem solving, critical thinking, writing skills, and knowledge of science concepts. Instead of panicking and worrying, pick up this book and be confident in your test-taking abilities.
