Tips for MCAT 2014

1. Do NOT stick to the syllabus of 2013: This year, merit seemed to be flying around. Kids with even 85% couldn't get in any govt medical college of punjab. Next year, UHS will definately take some steps to decrease the merit or else it will keep increasing. You see the pace with which merit has been increasing for the past 3years with the same syllabus. [they might change the syllabus next year, add aptitude test or change
the ratio]. You are supposed to prepare whole FSc books. Whole books also includes the summary at the end of every chapter and glossary at the end of book.
2. Do NOT stick to FSc text books only : You should seek help from internet in order to make your concepts very clear, but do NOT waste time online.
3. JOIN ANY ACADMEY: A lot of kids start wasting their time when they are repeating.They think they have already done the books and they just have to revise and there's a plenty of time to do that. But, that's the only reason why they couldn't get in first time [no offense please,I'm telling this from my experience.] Joining acadmey will help you in making a routine. You should study daily. Yeah, take rest on sundays
atleast, that would help you in studying efficiently. 
4. Study captions under diagrams, graphs, even learning outcomes given at the start of chapter:A lot of questions come from captions and graphs.
5. Solve past papers and as much MCQs as you can but on buble sheet: Yes, past papers really help. A lot of questions were from 2010, 2011 and 2012 MCAT. And practice on bubble sheets for time management. Use suitable pens (try various) but most importantly, do NOT cheat yourself. Evaluate your tests with negative marking.
6. Practice on daily or weekly basis: Do NOT keep a bundle of MCQs for the last moment, practice daily or atleast weekly but yeah, do NOT solve MCAT on ilmkidunya.com (very poor tests they give). Sorry I could only think of these things at the moment will update it as soon as I come up with any further tips/
I won't ask you to deactivate your Facebook or switch off your cell phone but avoid texting whilst you're studying. Sleep well, 8 hours daily.Don't stay up late at night but get up early.
