If this is the case, then make sure you find where that information was hidden.Then, if you got the question wrong, you need to figure out why you got it wrong. The MCAT test writers want you to be able to decipher complex scientific articles, so most of the time you will need key information from the passage to get to an answer. However, it is important you figure out exactly what information from the passage you needed to answer the question.

It is important that you review questions you got right as well. It is tempting to just want to review the problems you got wrong, but I recommend that you refrain from limiting yourself like this.

Review Questions You Got Wrong AND Questions You Got Right In my experience, Kaplan has been very good about being accurate with the information needed to know in order to do well on the MCAT. The Kaplan books are well written with plenty of mnemonics, charts, and clever ways to remember stuff. They go into a lot of detail without superfluous information. The Kaplan complete set is my recommendation. This is important because you want to make sure you are referencing material that is specific to the MCAT and not a college textbook that will have more information than you need to know for the MCAT. Now that you know which practice tests you should be using, make sure you buy a good quality MCAT prep book set to refer back to.
