MCAT 100 Success Secrets

Gerard Blokdijk

There has never been an MCAT Guide like this.

100 Success Secrets is not about the ins and outs of MCAT.

Instead, it answers the top 100 questions that we are asked and those we come across in forums, our consultancy and education programs. It tells you exactly how to deal with those questions, with tips that have never before been offered in print.

This book is also not about MCATOs best practice and standards details. Instead, it introduces everything you want to know to be successful with MCAT.
