3. Avoid distractions.

If you get distracted often by your siblings or your Ammi's saying "Beta dahy aur sabzi le aana" or "Beti ja k papa k liye chae bana dena", perhaps its the time you need to take care of things. It's okay to do house chores but not okay to get distracted while you've head in study. Tell your parents and siblings upright that you need to study at this particular hour and need no distraction. If possible, go on the roof top in the morning/afternoon time to study; you'll also get some vitamin D too meanwhile.

4. Also, do not 'overburden' yourself! Make a Schedule. Take Breaks!

Follow a proper schedule; for example, 9 am to 10 pm or 7am to 8pm with small multiple breaks in between. Breaks are important! Give yourself treat whenever you hit a milestone you’ve set for yourself.

5. Do at least two chapters per day of any subject, along with MCQs practice.

This will help you retain stuff for longer time. MDCAT Instructors on Nearpeer.org expose you to a lot of mnemonics to help you remember.

7. For Physics, formulas should be on your finger tips! Make a list of ALL the formulas for physics on a separate sheet.

8. Do 50 vocabulary words on a daily basis and keep revising them till MDCAT.

Try your best not to lose marks in this section. Vocab preparation should be a part of your daily routine. Also, try to read as much as you can. Read whatever you like, but do read.

9. Before starting any chapter, watch a relevant lecture on Nearpeer.org, and then learn it from your book. Will it not only make learning more interesting but also help you memorize stuff in long term.

10. Prefer quality over quantity! Better learn few pages less but whatever you're learning, do it in perfect way.
