Always go 🔙 to the basics! If you are feeling confused or overwhelmed, just take a deep breath and know that it's not as complicated as it seems. One of the best and at the same time most frustrating things about the MCAT is its ability to take simple, basic science question stems & answer choices and make them so convoluted that you're not even sure what you're reading. Same goes for passages - they like using big, unfamiliar words to overwhelm the test taker into giving up or guessing. In moments like those, it's important to have faith in yourself and be confident. When you're taking the exam, assume that you already know everything you need - and if you really don't know, then have faith in your ability to make educated guesses and move on. Confidence is just as important as any other test-taking skill!
