MyrCat

How do you check things off on this thing. My MCAT is over, last Friday and this week has been like being in Limbo. Part of you wants to do nothing at all and the other wants to conquer it all. So weird, feel split up, but I’ll be ok. For now, all I know is that this part is (hopefully) over and done with….unless I have to retake it :(

I am taking the MCAT in a little over a month and starting to get really frightened. I am an over thinker and because of that, I have never been able to take multiple choice exams. In classrooms, I do very well, especially on written exams. I can write a whole essay without any problem but give me a multiple choice question on a topic that I have spent years studying and I will be stuck between two choices. I’m working on that by trying to not over think as much and have more confidence in my own decisions, but it is hard. It’s also the motivation aspect. I have always wanted to be a physician. I love science and I am the most curious person anyone ever knows. I have studied on my own topics that professors have briefly mentioned and learned to do certain things on my own without any guidance. I also want to help as many people as possible during my lifetime. I figure, I get to do what I love and I make people healthy so that they can do what they love.
Another problem with the MCAT is that I feel like I am memorizing all of these formulas and facts without really retaining them.
But I am determined to beat this MCAT. Hard work and perseverance have gotten me this far, I just need to find them again to get to the finish (well really starting) line!
