Are you putting in hours of MCAT prep but your score just… refuses to budge? That’s exactly what both Pooja (522 scorer and third-year med student) and Austin (518 scorer and first-year med student) went through:

🚧 Hitting a frustrating score plateau right before test day
😰 Questioning if they were “good enough” for medicine
⏳ Wasting time second-guessing themselves and running out of time on sections
💭 Overthinking passages instead of trusting their gut

But here’s the good news… they figured it out. In this episode, they walk you through how they overcame plateaus with simple mindset shifts, new review strategies, and subtle changes in how they approached passage.
