Episode 28: MCAT Success Story - Erika B.

Join Dr. Marina as she talks with medical student Erika Bernardino about her secrets for MCAT success. Erika shares how hospice work motivated her to become a doctor and the tips and tricks she she used to improve her MCAT score from a 508 to 511 — including what test prep materials she used, how much time she gave herself to prepare, how she made time to study while taking college courses, how she set study goals rather than time goals, the importance of “practice, practice, practice” in preparing for the test, how she avoided the temptation to keep rescheduling, and how taking a lot of practice test helped her to develop the stamina and confidence to do well.
