6 Ways to Use an MCAT Tutor to Boost Your MCAT Score

6 Ways to Use an MCAT Tutor to Boost Your MCAT Score MCAT Medical School Admissions 1. Objective Evaluation of Readiness to Embark on the MCAT Odyssey The first thing that you need to do before you even start to do anything committing for the MCAT is evaluate whether or not you are readyright now. While some say that you may take the MCAT more than one time (up to two or three), it is not recommended. Depending on the school and rigor, schools may take your best individual sections as your score, or average out the scores, or take the lowest score, no matter what. So in the end, you want to take the MCAT once, and a knockoutonce.Read as much as you can about the MCATand what it entails to prepare for it. Also worth evaluating is if a career medicine is what you like. If you are gritting your teeth down for studying because “you really don’t like to study,” then maybe a career spent studying, even after graduation, is not the best for you. Evaluate if you have what it takes, because us tutors here do not want you to waste your resources, time, and effort on anything. 2. Work out a personalized study plan according to extracurricular, employments, and/or volunteering This is where we start to come in! A sort of intake interview will help us gauge how many hours a day you have available to study, and based on that when an ideal test day would be. Be prepared to bare all, becausepreparing about the MCATis about putting everything on the line and using every minute of the day that you can to study, even if that means you will have to skip that Game of Thrones or Dexter episode. It’s okay. Even though we give up these luxuries for now, we get to be doctors! 3. A plan for milestones throughout the preparation time period to reach one final goal score Us tutors will help formulate a goal that is both attainable and within your desire to score. Be sure to check the MSARs (Medical School Admission Requirements) to see where you stand with your pre-preparation test score and where you want to end up, according to the schools you hope to gain acceptance. This is a careful balance between your own personal information that you have on your GPA, extracurricular activities, and experiences. Once this is decided, it is important for us to set score-goals along the way so that there is a plan of attack to attain the desired score. 4. As a resource for questions on topics in each subject area. This includes reviewing how to reach the correct answer with a logic walk-through and identification of missing knowledge. Tutors are here to answer any questions you have on the material itself. TheMCAT exam is not hard because the exam is written in a difficult way, it’s because the material is hard too! We are here for any questions on conceptual questions, and easy tips and tricks for solving classes of problems, including verbal and problems involving math alike. 5. Quick tips for solving problems in 35 seconds or less Tutors will help fine-tune your problem-solving skills so that you may finish each section with enough time to go overallof your responses before you move on the next section, all while maximizing your time. 6. Tips for the day of the MCAT: “I wish someone had told me that on the day of the MCAT…” Tutors will take you through the test-taking processand what it is like. This in itself is an experience that can change how you perform on the exam. This is why so many practice tests are taken, so that any discomfort caused by the exam-taking cannot be because of the exam format or the like. Tutors will review rules, regulations, tips for test day, and even what to eat! “Nasya is a private MCAT tutor in Chicago who has been working with MyGuru for several years. She graduated from the University of Chicago with a B.S. in Biology, and will be attending the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical School in 2014.” hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});

A Relaxation and Coping Guide for Pre-Business School Students

A Relaxation and Coping Guide for Pre-Business School Students pixabay.com When it comes to post-undergrad planning, pre-business school students certainly have a lot on their plates. Between studying at all hours of the day and night for the GMAT and working to stay at the top of their games academically, socially, and professionally, those aiming for business school are always on the go. Yet, just like any other stressed-out college students, they deserve to power down every once in a while and simply breathe. If you are a pre-business student and find yourself periodically wanting to tear your hair out or cry, or both, you may benefit from some suggestions on relaxation. pixabay.com Get organized and get things done early With so much to do, it’s easy to feel constantly overwhelmed, overworked, and sleep-deprived. Having a schedule of priorities is paramount to your sanity, as it allows you to list out all your tasks and complete them in a timely manner. A planner or simply a notebook is a good place for you to jot down all your to-do’s. You may find it helpful to rank your tasks according to their importance and then plan out roughly how long each one will take. Once you’ve organized everything, you will have an easier time of looking at your tasks and knowing what you should do first. For some, getting organized even serves as motivation to tackle duties more quickly and efficiently. If you’re one of those people, you’ll probably feel immense relief and satisfaction after crossing off some of the bigger things on your list. By taking initiative with your responsibilities whether they are completing homework for your many business classes, taking time to study for the GMAT on your own, or preparing for an important interview you’ll be able to step out from under that gray cloud and enjoy the sunshine in your day. pixabay.com Take some time to yourself For busy pre-business students (or any college students, for that matter), setting aside time specifically to relax sounds absurd and unfeasible. But in many cases, the advantages of spending extra time to relax outweigh the time you ordinarily would have spent stressing over something. Even when it seems impossible, there is always a way to incorporate some “me time” into your day. If you prefer to start out small, set aside 10 minutes to do something different from whatever you’ve constantly been doing. Tired of being chained to your desk with your computer and books? Go for a quick walk outside and enjoy the sun on your face; chat with a friend for a few minutes to get some human interaction. Feeling drained from constant networking in your business clubs and organizations? Retreat to a quiet space and recharge yourself, perhaps by listening to music or reading a good book. You know yourself best, so don’t hesitate to reflect on what the most effective, life-giving relaxation options are for you. After you’ve allowed your mind and soul to truly rest, you’ll hopefully feel significantly more energized, fresh, and prepared to tackle the rest of your responsibilities. Spend time with friends preferably not in a business or academic setting At this point, you may have spent so much time in the same atmosphere, surrounded by the same people and doing the same things, that you’re dying to be in a new environment, at least for a little while. If most of your friends are from the business realm of your life, make it a point not to discuss business-related things while you’re out having fun (unless, of course, you want to talk about business, which is perfectly fine!) Hanging out with friends from other parts of your life is a bonus: you’ll be exposed to the new details of their lives, rather than the same thing you’ve been thinking about or stressing over for much too long. By spending just a few hours in their world talking, laughing, and joking, you can temporarily take your mind off your own situation and simply enjoy the moment. pixabay.com On the flip side, talk to someone such as a mentor, parent, professor, friend, etc. about your business school goals Having someone to turn to so you can voice your ideas and worries, as well as receive advice and support from someone about your business-related ambitions, can lift a huge weight off your shoulders. Talk to someone who has experience and knowledge relevant to what you want to accomplish with your MBA. Perhaps visit one of your business professors during office hours, or approach a trusted mentor or friend for support and advice. Also, don’t knock the idea of asking your parents for help. Even if they don’t necessarily have a similar background as yours or know much about the corporate world, they know you and are sure to offer some wise words that you can take to heart.

The 5 Types Of Students You Meet In Business School

The 5 Types Of Students You Meet In Business School theodysseyonline.com Do you want to avoid this girl? Maybe not. She could very possibly have connections around campus and know all the best bars in town. It doesn’t hurt to have a tour guide if you are new to the town you decided to go to school in. 2. The Do-Gooder This is the type of person who never let anyone take a tiny, little glance at their homework during undergrad. And, to my best prediction, even if he/she is over 21, they will still feel guilty for drinking the night before an exam. Honestly, they might not even be smart, so don’t bother trying to befriend them to get some of their knowledge. All I know is that he or she plays by the rules a little too much. 3. The Know-It-All Don’t get a know-it-all and do-gooder confused with each other. They very well might have some of the same qualities, but I believe it’s better to befriend someone who knows too much than someone who won’t even help out with what they have. Now by no means should you try to cheat in business school because this is your life now. However, we all need assistance every once in a while. I recommend befriending this person if you find him or her in a particularly difficult class. How will you identify them? According to hercampus.com, they “have an answer, comment or opinion for every question, whether right or wrong. They’ll keep their hands up for so long they’ll have body-builder-toned arms, and they’ll go off on so many tangents they’ll sound like they’re getting over a case of mono. If they’re a member of any gender, cultural, political or geographical group, they will always find a way to tie any point made in class to their backgroundâ€" “As a _____, I can personally relate to the readings because of the author’s sense of ______.” If you can handle their need to insert their (always correct) opinion every time you work together, then go ahead and get to know them. 4. The Party Animal It’s hard to imagine this person when they weren’t 21. Now that everyone is of age, you can expect him or her to be at the bar almost every night, and trying to drag you along. Never, ever count on him or her to be in class before 11 a.m. How to identify the party animal? Almost too easy. Look for sweatpants and dark sunglasses, accompanied by a dark colored container that doesn’t exactly smell like coffee. If you’re looking for a good time, hit this person up for a night on the town. unsplash.com 5. The Potato This person typically never shows up for anything. They don’t like to try and would rather binge watch Bloodline on Netflix than do their research paper. You should never really count on the potato for any group projects.  You can find them rolled into a ball on their couch covered in crumbs from the night before. How do you find this person? You don’t. Learn more about Kaplan’s test prep options and start building the confidence you need for Test Day.

Making the Most of Any Internship

Making the Most of Any Internship pexels.com Learn new skills that can help you stand out among competitors   Instead of looking at an internship that isnt related to your major or career as a lost opportunity to learn skills for your desired career, look at the internship as an opportunity to learn new skills that you would not be able to learn if you were doing an internship related to your major or career. If you are looking to go into a more science-oriented field and end up with an internship in writing or publishing with a company like Uloop, dont assume that theres nothing for you to learn if you arent doing anything science-related. You get to learn how to improve your writing something that is vital in writing important emails or proposals. You also get to learn how to cater to a specific audience, depending on what internship you are in this will help you when it comes to choosing how and when to say something depending on who you are speaking to (a boss, a fellow coworker, a client, etc). Always try to see any skills you pick up during an internship as a later advantage. Spending time working an internship unrelated to your major or career allows you to pick up skills you may not be able to pick up otherwise, something that future employers will appreciate when you are able to offer more skills than what is expected of you. This is even more helpful when being compared to others in your major, as you will be able to claim a more diverse set of skills and knowledge than your peers, something that can get you a position over them. When picking up a new skill, always try to figure out how it amplifies a skill you already have, or how it can help you in your future career. Network with others outside of your major or career   Just like your internship offering you the chance to learn new skills that will help you in the future, your internship will offer you the opportunity to network, just like any opportunity. You may not think that you have something in common with your coworkers or fellow interns because you arent studying anything related to the internship and therefore shouldnt bother connecting with them, but networking with them is just as important as networking at any other internship. You never know where one worker has been, or even where they plan to go until you reach out to them. Dont try to put up a front like the internship exactly fits the bill of what you want in a career; be honest about why you took up the internship (picking up new skills, you liked the company, etc.) and voice your desires and interests when it comes to what you study and want to do in the future. Company employees may even be in the same boat, or have been, and can offer plenty of advice to help get you where you want to be. They may be able to help you connect with friends and other connections that are in the field that you want to be in, giving you a way to build up your experience regardless of your internship.
