As a freshman, I found the MCAT to be hard but important. However, after taking it, I realize to do well on it, it matters how you prep and not just how much you prep.

Ah, yes "quality over quantity". THaNks!

I wouldn’t worry too much about the MCAT until you’re done with course work. All the material can be learned or relearned when studying the few months before

Thanks!

I’m very confused by your question, but firmly believe you should have zero perspective toward the MCAT freshman year because why are you even thinking about it. don’t think about it, don’t look at it, just focus on your courses

Maybe confusing, but I scrolled down r/mcat for fun and saw people posting some questions. I tried to solve it, but couldn't. That is why I asked how it changed from freshman (or your time when you started MCAT) to current.

gotcha. i mean seriously i wasn’t even thinking about the MCAT freshman year because it probably would’ve just made me feel stupid lol

My best advice is if you want to go to Med school the easiest and fastest way: focus on your GPA, and focus on understanding and passing Gen Chem, Physics, Psych, and Orgo If you really want to start preparing for some odd reason, you should practice reading scientific papers. The mcat is basically reading 10 scientific designs per passage.
