Don OsborneIf you are a pre-med in denial before the ominous MCAT, prepare yourself for a reality check.

The time to start thinking about the MCAT is right now and our latest podcast episode is just what the doctor prescribed.

Take the first step now by listening to the full recording of our interview with Don Osborne, president and founder of INQUARTA and authority on all-things-MCAT.

Good luck!

00:02:47 – The best time to start studying for the MCAT.

00:04:11 – What courses should an applicant have completed before studying for the MCAT?

00:04:35 – How much time should be set aside for studying and when should the test be taken?

00:06:31 – Everything you want to know about taking the MCAT multiple times (will they take the highest, lowest, latest, or average score?). Is retaking even a good idea?

00:11:25 – The best approach to MCAT study.

00:14:36 – About the MCAT Club: Lots of good stuff going on here.

00:16:43 – 2 things a candidate can do to maximize their chances of a good score.

00:18:15 – The most common MCAT mistakes. You may be surprised.

00:22:19 – Should applicants be worried about the new version of the MCAT? In a word: Yes.

00:23:57 – When is an MCAT score just too low to apply to med school? And what if you bombed just one section?

00:28:40 – What Don would do if he was going to take the MCAT.

00:30:21 – More about what the MCAT Club is and when an applicant really needs commercial MCAT prep (which is exactly what the MCAT Club is not).
