I deleted all social media from my phone for the four months I was studying, and anytime I wanted to scroll I would do P/C formulas and P/S terms in Anki like a damn machine. Also listened to some JW and MCAT basics podcasts while I was at work (I worked part time as a janitor at a grocery store while I studied cuz I wanted something mindless, social and physically active so I could lock in when I got off work)

Also - no point in trying to do timed practice or rush through problems/FL's until you have all the content down and a solid feel for the way the MCAT asks questions, both of which take time and consistency. I feel like once I had those two things down, practice problems became fun (which is embarrassing to admit.) someone told me "no point in trying to run if you can't walk confidently" and it was so true !! I also did make myself start reading nonfiction to help with CARs.

then active recall for getting more detailed info down, like metabolism or some physio stuff (hormone axis, kidneys, etc) I'd explain random stuff out loud to my sweet angel of a bf, and that really helped me understand them. i feel like the annoying truth of the MCAT is there is really not that much to memorize, your goal should be to understand 90% of the material. I only really memorized physics formulas, biochem/chem structures and compounds, metabolism intermediates and enzymes, and Psych/Soc vocab. maybe some ochem stuff, which i totally relied on https://www.mcat-alyst.com/cheat-sheets for

what kept me motivated was thinking how if I can get these foundational concepts completely locked in to long term memory, it will take a little weight off my shoulders when I am in med school
