How I Studied for the MCAT | Best Study Resources & My Biggest Mistakes

I scored a 518 on the MCAT, and in this video I break down exactly how I studied: what worked, what I’d do differently, and the resources I’d actually recommend. I cover my 3-step approach: content review, building an Anki deck from day one, and starting practice questions early (you don’t need to know everything before you start practicing!). Plus how I scheduled my full-length exams and reviews. This video is sponsored by UWorld, the resource I really wish I’d used from the start.
