Introduction:
The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a crucial step in your journey toward becoming a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). At Fenwick Academy, we understand the pressure and are here to help you not only prepare—but excel.
1. Start Early and Build a Realistic Schedule
Don’t cram. Create a long-term study plan with dedicated time blocks. Spread your prep over 3–6 months to reduce burnout and allow for effective retention.
2. Know the Exam Structure Inside Out
Familiarize yourself with all four sections:
- Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
- Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS)
- Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
- Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
3. Practice with Purpose
Use AAMC material and full-length exams. Track performance, review wrong answers in-depth, and revisit weak topics.
4. Focus on CARS Early
CARS often trips up even the brightest students. Regular reading of complex material—scientific journals, opinion pieces—can sharpen your comprehension and analytical skills.
5. Use a Prep Course That Works for YOU
At Fenwick Academy, our hybrid MCAT programs combine live instruction, self-paced learning, and personalized mentoring to boost your score with proven results.
