Hey yall. I am currently majoring in Biology at the University of Texas at San Antonio. I have plans to go to med school after I graduate and I am currently a freshman. As far as now, what can I start doing early to get myself prepared for the mcat test and other things I need to do prior to looking forward to med school? I also need some tips on studying techniques and some books that might help me to improve my reading and understanding skills. I would appreciate if any of you guys can give a piece of advice and help me through. Thank you!
