While many MCAT posts are directed at studying for the MCAT and preparing for your application to medical school. This post will focus on MCAT survival tips for the actual day of your exam. While there is a lot to do to prepare for the MCAT, there are some actually very practical tips for the test day to optimize your performance.

Ironically, sometimes the biggest obstacle to advancing your career is your job. Work full-time and pursue more education and training? Who has the time to go back to school when they work full time? How can you balance GMAT prep and a full-time job? As you’re about to learn, you do!

Every GRE test taker will face two scored quantitative sections of 20 questions each, receiving a score between 130 and 170. The GRE quantitative section largely covers topics from pre-algebra math classes, so if it’s been awhile since you’ve taken high school math, you may want to brush up on your basics!

This first test day tip is pretty simple: the better you feel, the better you perform. Be sure that you are your best-self on test day. You should be well rested and nourished and present and poised (both physically and mentally). Pay attention to your posture and breathing, don’t let nerves get the best of you.

So, you’ve applied early and have just been deferred from college? Don’t despair; the sky is not falling. Rather, there are steps you can take towards improving your chances. So, in the meantime, follow this template to Regular Decision redemption!

Many students graduate college with little to no idea about what they want to do. Like the admissions process, the job hunt process is growing increasingly competitive. And working a dead-end job where you feel more like a drone than a person is no way to really live your life.

A liberal arts student receives an undergraduate degree after studying across fields ranging from the social and physical sciences to the humanities. Most liberal arts colleges offer majors and minors, where students select and specialize in a discipline, but they also have “course requirements” aimed at diversifying the courses in which each student enrolls. Future employers understand that a degree from a liberal arts college or university means that a student has completed coursework outside of his or her major and has learned about a variety of fields and topics.

Every year, top medical schools get more than enough top applicants to fill their classes with students with outstanding test scores and grades. And yet many of these applicants are rejected. Medical school rejection happens to even the best students applying. The largest take away from this list is that strong grades and test scores are not enough to gain admission to top medical schools.

Have you ever asked yourself, “what do medical schools look for in applicants?” When reading and evaluating thousands of applications from qualified students, which traits, activities, themes, and perspectives are they looking for?

There are two multiple-choice sections on the GRE Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning. You will face each of these sections twice during the exam. For each multiple-choice section, you will be given 30 minutes to answer twenty questions. To determine a student’s composite score, which ranges from 130 to 170, both of the GRE Verbal Reasoning and both of the Quantitative sections will be combined.
