Geeking out over MCAT Practice Test Analysis

Let’s share some tips on review and analysis of MCAT practice tests!

Hits & Misses

What types of questions are you getting wrong?

knowledge

problem solving

research reasoning

data-based reasoning

Why are you getting questions wrong?

ran out of time

didn’t understand what was being asked

didn’t have the appropriate knowledge

didn’t properly apply appropriate knowledge to answer choices

made a simple mistake, not focused

What was your confidence in your answer choice?

confident + correct = good!

somewhat confident + correct = okay

not confident + correct = need to boost your confidence

confident + incorrect = yikes! address this issue!

somewhat confident + incorrect = low hanging fruit!

not confident + incorrect = needs work

Testing Conditions

how much sleep have you had recently?

how awake or fatigued did you feel?

how much caffeine did you have?

what did you have to eat?

where did you take it?

what time of day did you take it?

what kind of breaks did you take?

Studying Up

Review your practice test question-by-question to come up with a list of issues you need to address: pacing, focus, a troublesome question type, content weakness, question comprehension, test taking technique, et cetera.

Then map these onto a study schedule, hopefully addressing a number of these issues before your next practice test.

Practice Test Goals

Set goals or intention for each practice test experience such as:

answer every question

finish on time

practice pacing

practice focusing

simulate test day conditions
