What I Wish I knew Before Taking the MCAT 3 Times

♡  S H O W  N O T E S ♡ 

I decided not to vlog very much leading up to my mcat this time around because the time felt short and better used to supply my mental and think bank, but I did want to share about this experience, so these are my thoughts before receiving my score, but after studying for 6 weeks, and then taking the test for the 3rd time.

Of course in this recap, I’ll share about the things I think went well and what could’ve been better, so I’m considering this to be catch all video/podcast. If you’re listening to this because you asked me a question in my DMs and I sent you this link, that means I answered your question in great detail in this podcast and it was easier to let you listen than to leave you on read until I had the time to type out my response to this frequently asked question, so no shade, this is best for all of us!
