Unconventional methods like interleaved practice, active recall with spaced repetition, and teaching concepts to others can help students rapidly boost MCAT scores. Using focused strategies such as timed practice tests, passage-mapping for CARS, and high-yield concept flashcards allows for efficient study. Analyzing past performance helps identify persistent weak areas, so students can prioritize topics that will have the greatest impact on their score. By targeting these gaps consistently, rather than evenly distributing effort, meaningful score gains can be achieved in a shorter time.
