The tips begin at a different place in each module. The advice moves along with the stages of the course.

Consciousness is like the surface of the ocean. Most of the activity in your mind is below the surface, the unconscious. Your unconscious mind is always at work. You may run into a topic that doesn't yield so easily to conscious understanding, but when you return to it three days later, the topic is now perfectly clear. What happened? Your unconscious mind has been figuring it all out. There's an art to facilitating this process.

Start early with cell & molecular biology

We can't delay beginning work with cell & molecular biology, a subject the exam is genuinely sophisticated about. That's why we are doing an early content review cycle in these subjects. This will not only give you a game for practice passages from the start, but will also allow our primary molecular biology discussion later in the course to be more advanced. This early cycle includes the Lippincott reading you've already begun, and in this module, we're starting TBR/Kaplan work. The chapters to complete (before module 7) are sections VI, IX, and X in Berkeley Review BIOLOGY. In Kaplan these are 1, 2, and 3 in BIOLOGY and 6, 7, and 8 in BIOCHEMISTRY. Work in tandem with Lippincott reading as much as possible. In summary, complete concept review and half the practice items in these sections before module 7, reserving the rest of the practice for later in the course.

Psychology

Study the conceptual treatment of Learning in your MCAT book-set and complete the odd numbered problems.
