Study for the MCAT
Taking the MCAT test more than two times is generally frowned upon, it is a must for dedicated students to take preparing for the MCAT test seriously. Which means: you should study, take multiple practice tests, take a prep course, and practice good time management.

Pace Yourself
The MCAT is a 5 3/4 hour, day-long exam. On any given question, you have approximately 1 minute 30 seconds to read, analyze, and get your answer. Sound impossible? Most people think so. The test is designed so that most test takers can not finish on time. The result? Poor testing decisions, rushing, missing easy questions, poor self esteem, nervousness, and, worst of all, poor MCAT test scores. Time management is one of the MOST important aspects of the test that can be learned. The reason is because if you had no time limit, you could answer many more of the test's questions correctly.

What do the Professionals Say?
