8 Things to Consider When Creating a Study Schedule for the MCAT

8 Things to Consider When Creating a Study Schedule for the MCAT MCAT Medical School Admissions The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is one of the most challenging graduate school entry exams. While the content and strategy is difficult, it is essential for students to focus on planning when preparing for this lengthy exam. A successful MCAT preparation begins with creating a study schedule that manages to accommodate your other commitments while meeting your preparation needs. Here are eight tips to assist you in preparing your own study schedule for the exam: 1. Consider when you want toapply and begin medical school With 50+ hours of prerequisite courses and a year-long process for applying to medical school, planning for the MCAT can be daunting. There are two ways of approaching this based on what type of student you are: Traditional Students: Traditional students are those who plan to finish college in four years and start medical school the fall after graduation. Typically, traditional students finish their prerequisite courses by spring of their Sophomore year and schedule their test during their junior year. This allows them enough time to take the MCAT twice (if needed) prior to May, when applications open. Nontraditional students: A nontraditional student is anyone who does not fall under the category above. These students tend to struggle scheduling their MCAT because their timeline is not as strictly defined. In order to apply, you will need a score report for your MCAT prior to May of the year of application (e.g. If you want to matriculate in Fall 2018, you will need to take your tes t no later than April 2017 so that you receive a score report by May of 2017, when applications open). Also, keep in mind that you may want to retake the exam and should plan for a retake just in case your score does not match your goal. 2. Evaluate if you are prepared to begin studying for the MCAT Before deciding to take the MCAT you should have completed ALL your prerequisite courses. While some may advise that you can ‘self-teach’, most students struggle with this and see severe deficiencies on their score reports.Evaluate what events are coming up in your life in the next six months. Work, personal, or school events can drastically affect your study schedule. When setting up your study schedule, factor in birthdays, weddings, exams and other major events so that you do not overbook your study schedule. Make sure to leave yourself some wiggle room when planning your study schedule. Most students have some bumps along the way studying. Whether it’s the flu or car trouble, make sure you leave yourself some buffer time to deal with regular life. 3. Register for your test as early as possible and set a score goal Test registration fees increase closer to your testing date, while site availability decreases. Be sure to register early so that you can plan for your test date. In addition, use this as a motivator throughout your study plan by counting down the days. Research medical schools and note their median scores for matriculants. Set your target score slightly above the median score of schools that you would like to attend. 4. Your study schedule should be about 100 days Each student will vary in how much time they need to prepare for the MCAT. In general, a minimum of 100 days is sufficient to review the material and take a variety of practice passages and exams. Your preparation should consist of about 60% content review and 40% strategy and testing. 5. Invest in a variety of practice materials A common mistake students make when preparing for the exam is using one brand of test preparation materials. While this seems ideal since the materials usually integrate well, it also leaves the student vulnerable to a few common problems.1) Students often develop a bias towards how they approach test questions and become used to that style of writing and questioning. When the structure of questions or passages varies, they tend to not score as well. 2) While every test preparation company does their best to review all the content, they may miss some topics or not explain them in a way that resounds with the student. This is where students benefit from a variety of content review books, practice passages, and exams. In addition, reading multiple test preparation sources with the same content will reinforce the content through repetition. 6. Invest in a planner that breaks down your day into hours, days, weeks, and months Most pre-medical students are overachievers and lead extremely busy lives. Given this type of lifestyle, it is easy to lose track of how a day, week, or even a month is spent. Studying for the MCAT is like training for a marathon, every session counts towards your long-term goal. Using a planner that breaks down your time allows you to track your short-term study habits, while also keeping track of your long-term goal for your exam. Ideally, you should be tracking how many hours you study per day while noting how much you can accomplish during that time frame. 7. Evaluate and adjust your study schedule. Track your progress Use your planner to evaluate whether you are sticking to your study schedule and meeting your goals. This will allow you to assess whether you need to change study habits, environment, or lessen commitments. In addition to a planner, an excel sheet or notebook tracking passage and exam results is a useful tool to measure progress. This will allow you to assess whether you are on track to meet your target score and what areas of content are weak. 8. Beware of burnout and don’t be afraid to alter your plans or test date While studying for the MCAT can be all consuming, it is important to balance the exam. With a 100-day study schedule, you should be able to take at least one day a week off from studying and testing. Breaks allow you to refresh and remember why you are studying for such an arduous exam.As you approach your test date, it is normal to consider rescheduling your exam if you are not meeting your score goals or are behind on your study schedule. You can reschedule your exam up until 1 month prior to your test. Relax and take the time you need to do well; you will be glad you did!

Its in Your Blood Understanding Hematology on the MCAT

It's in Your Blood Understanding Hematology on the MCAT MCAT Medical School Admissions In our last post on the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), we discussed the integration of endocrinology and physics in the cardiovascular system. This month we will dive in further and discuss the hematologic system that drives the cardiovascular system and how to apply concepts from genetics and chemistry. In order to answer hematology questions on the MCAT, we first need to tackle the concept of what blood actually is and how we discern the different components. When blood is drawn at your annual checkup, the phlebotomist or technician will place the blood into the centrifuge. The centrifuge will separate the blood into three layers based on density: plasma, white blood cells, and red blood cells. It is crucial to understand what is contained in each section of the blood in order to understand lab values and to answer some of those integrative chemistry concepts. The plasma is the top layer, meaning it is the least dense. The majority of plasma is composed of water. The remainder of plasma is composed of proteins such as albumin, antibodies, fibrinogen, and hormones. Albumin plays an important oncotic role in the vascular system by creating oncotic pressure that drives the movement of water into the vascular system. An important distinction is between that of serum and plasma; serum is plasma without fibrinogen and clotting factors. Below the plasma layer is the white blood cell layer or the ‘buffy coat’. This is where platelets and white blood cells are found. The bottom layer of the blood is the erythrocyte layer or red blood cells. The erythrocyte layer will contain hemoglobin, the transport binding protein for oxygen on red blood cells. From the erythrocyte layer we can determine the hematocrit percentage, which is a clinically important measure for determining the patient’s red blood cell production. Hematocrit is simply the volume taken up by red blood cells divided by the total blood volume. For example, a patient with polycythemia vera would have an abnormally high hematocrit because they overproduce red blood cells, while an anemic patient might have a relatively low or normal hematocrit due to low production of red blood cells. What hormone is responsible for this? Erythropoietin. What organ(s) if damaged could cause anemia due to lack of available erythropoietin? The kidneys. These are the types of integrative questions you can expect on your MCAT and testing yourself in a continual question basis is a good way to learn and build your understanding. Now that we understand the components of hemoglobin, let’s talk about the primary function of red blood cells â€" gas exchange. Red blood cells are often referred to as a ‘bag of hemoglobin’. This is because red blood cells lack organelles and a nucleus, and contain millions of hemoglobin proteins. Hemoglobin (Hb) is a unique protein. It has four subunits that each bind to oxygen. Hemoglobin is the quintessential example of cooperative binding, meaning that each subunit’s affinity for binding increases as other subunits become bound to oxygen. This gives the binding curve a sigmoidal shape (Check out MD Herofor more on this topic). While the majority of oxygen moves through the blood bound to hemoglobin, it is noteworthy that a small percentage is simply dissolved in the blood. Gas exchange is blood is a highly integrative topic since it connects many organ systems including the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. As we discussed in last month’s blog, your cardiovascular system has a systemic and pulmonary circulation. The pulmonary circulation allows the hemoglobin to pass through the lungs and bind oxygen (inhaled) and released carbon dioxide (exhaled). The pulmonary circulation then returns to the left side of the heart and is pumped to the systemic circulation. The body’s tissues need oxygen to drive their cellular respiration. For example, when you are at the gym doing squats you are utilizing a large amount of energy in the form of ATP. Replenishing your oxygen stores through circulation is essential for your body to continue to drive aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration. In this area of the circulation, oxygen is released into the tissues and carbon dioxide is removed by hemoglobin on the red blood cells. This exchange is dependent on the partial pressures of each gas in the tissue. In systemic circulation, the oxygen partial pressure is low and carbon dioxide partial pressure is high in the tissues. This drives the high concentration of oxygen in the blood to equilibrate and release oxygen and bind to carbon dioxide. The opposite occurs in gas exchange in the pulmonary circulation. As you develop your understanding of this concept, try to link it back to the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. Particularly high yield are understandings of acid-base, 2,3-bisphophoglyceric acid, and temperature. We will cover these and the bicarbonate buffer system in our next blog post. As you delve into learning your organ systems and applying your basic science concepts to the MCAT, realize that these are the foundations of your clinical reasoning. While these concepts are challenging now, the depth of this material will be significantly greater in medical school. It will serve you well on both your MCAT and in your future as a student and physician to hone these concepts and integrate your learning.

Community College Dont be a Dropout - TutorNerds

Community College Dont be a Dropout - TutorNerds Don’t Be Another Community College Dropout! Don’t Be Another Community College Dropout! Community college can be an effective and efficient alternative to a four-year university.   Community colleges offer programs that are shorter, more career-focused, and at a fraction of the cost.   Plus, they’re usually much closer to home for an easy commute.   Even students looking for a bachelor’s degree should consider a two-year school since many offer transfer programs after you’ve completed two years.   However, you have to be careful to avoid the bane of many community college students’ educational careers: failing or dropping out. The National Student Clearing House reports that six years after enrolling, only 27% of students completed their two-year school program in the United States.   Probability-wise, a student attending a four-year public school is expected to be twice as likely to graduate when compared to a student at a two-year public school our private San Diego college tutors are here to help. There are many, many factors contributing to community college students dropping out or failing their programs.   Chief among these is the difficult learning curve associated with adjusting to a college program and workload and the convenience and seeming necessity of dropping out to work full-time. If you are taking advantage of the benefits and low costs of community college, then you should be aware of the lower success rates so that you can actively fight to make sure that your college experience is a successful one.   Here is some advice to make your community college experience a successful one. Give Yourself Outside Accountability Arguably the hardest part of succeeding in college has to do it by yourself.   You are not required to go to class; you often don’t have parents that are making sure you get good grades and stay on track, and there are so many students that teachers and advisors often don’t have the time to follow up with you and keep you on track.   Essentially, you have to make yourself learn and do everything all on your own â€" a daunting and difficult task for anyone. Here’s the secret: you don’t have to do it all on your own if you find others to help keep you on task and held accountably.   It is easy to skip class, shirk assignments, get poor grades, and ultimately give up if it’s only you who knows about it.   It’s easier to stay in bed if there’s no one to nag you to get up and go to class.   It’s easier to skip your homework after a long day of work if no one tells you that you shouldn’t. You need to find others to hold you accountable during your moments of weakness and help keep you motivated to achieve your goal.   Here are some simple ways to do so: + Look to Friends or Family Telling close friends or family members about your classes and program is often a simple and effective way of gaining outside accountability.   You don’t want to let down your family, do you?   Ideally, find someone who has been through the college process themselves and who is interested in helping you succeed. A tip that I’ve found helpful is to give someone a copy of your syllabus or put your syllabi up on a wall or the fridge.   That way, someone else can check up to ask you about assignments or if you’re studying for an upcoming test. + Join a Study Group Joining or making a study group with fellow class members is a great way to stay ahead of assignments and studying.   Sometimes there will even be TAs assigned to help students in a weekly designated study session for the class. Take advantage of these opportunities, but also schedule yourself to go to all of them.   Find a friend and the class and tell them you’ll be going to every study session.   Or, you can host a study group yourself.   This way, people will be expecting you to attend, and you will feel accountable to do so.   Even if you don’t feel like you need the extra studying, go to the groups anyway.   Use it as a chance to get ahead and stay confident. + Go to Office Hours This is advice that I give to all college students, and you can read more about it here.   If you go to all of your professor’s office hours to visit them and work on the class material, then they will begin to expect you and know you.   This can help hold you accountable because you won’t want to skip a class or do poorly and disappoint the professor. + Find a Private San Diego Tutor or Advisor Often, school advisors are too busy to give you their full attention at a large community college.   However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t still seek out their help and advice.   However, a fool-proof way to have someone keep you focused and accountable in school is to hire a private San Diego tutor. An experienced tutor can do much more than help you study for an upcoming test in your math class.   An experienced tutor can look over your program requirements and guidelines, take a look at your syllabi and schedule, and help you plan for your success.   A tutor who you see weekly can help you plan, tell you what to do, and check-in to make sure you’re doing it.   They can help you study for classes, teach you lessons in subjects they are experts on, and make sure you aren’t steering off course.   Ask for an experienced tutor who can help you with college advising and scheduling.
