Medical School Admissions: Before the MCAT
Two nights before the test:
·
Get a full eight hours of sleep.
·
Sleep experts have shown that the “night before
the night before” is the most critical night of sleep to ensure highest performance
on exams.
The day before the test:
·
Do NOT study! You have done enough already and
one day is not going to make or break you. Take the day off and try to relax.
Rest your mind.
·
Review how to get to the exam site.
·
Pack snacks and a bag lunch.
·
Get to sleep early.
The morning of the test;
- Do your normal morning routine.
- Ensure you have a valid ID containing both a signature and photo (passport or driver’s license). An expired ID will NOT be considered valid.
- Wear layers in case the test center is hotter or colder than you like.
- Arrive at the test center 30 minutes before your appointment time.
- A locker will be provided to place your personal items.
- Unfortunately, you will not be able to choose your computer.
- Noise-reducing headsets/earplugs will be made available by the test center to help you concentrate.
