How Tech Will Prepare You
for Your MCAT Exams

Modern technology touches on every area of our lives, in some cases completely transforming the way that we think about and approach certain issues. Education is no exception to this rule. In fact, education is one of the areas of life that has no doubt benefited the most from technological innovation.

Whether it’s a kid preparing for their first day of elementary school, or an adult getting ready to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) in the hopes of becoming a doctor, there are plenty of ways that technology can aid and enhance your studying experience.

Use Your Timers

A timer is a very simple device but can be one of the most effective study aids that you have. All smartphones come with timers of some kind pre-installed, but you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one on the app store if you need to.

You can use timers to make sure that you break up your study time, and your break time, into suitable chunks. With a timer, you can stick to this schedule without the need to keep watching the clock and distracting yourself.

Find Revision Resources Online

It doesn’t matter how old you are or what subject or subjects you are prepping for, there are some excellent resources available online to help you learn anything. When it comes to the MCAT, you should find no shortage of resources available. For example, Next Step Test Prep has lots of great resources online, including examples of past papers for preparing for an MCAT class.

Find Relevant Lectures

YouTube is home to a wide range of different content. In amongst all the millions of videos on the site, there are a considerable number of lectures, talks and other events that make for fantastic revision tools. Different people learn in different ways, so while many people will learn best from reading and taking notes, others will learn much more effectively from listening to a lecture on their chosen subject.

Organize Your Notes

Apps like Evernote have become a mainstay of every student’s revision arsenal. Evernote will keep all of your notes and other important files and documents in one place, accessible from any device, and kept securely in the cloud. This is very useful for those who are prone to strewing their notes across a number of different places and platforms.

Flash!

Flashcards have been a popular revision tool for students since long before smartphones came along. Naturally, there are now a number of apps that make it easy to create and view revision flashcards on your phone. This means that you can take them with you wherever you go and revise while you are out and about.

The MCAT exams are notorious for their difficulty. You would expect qualifying for med school to be difficult, but many people are unprepared for the intensity of the MCAT. By using the technology available to you in the right way, you can massively improve the efficiency of your revision and make the most of the time you have.
