The world of MCAT prep is a crowded space littered with well intentioned but often poor advice.

MCAT 準備的世界競爭激烈，充斥著出發點是好的但常常是錯誤的建議。

How can we separate the signal from the noise?

我們要如何從雜訊中分辨出訊號呢？

Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com Some students swear by a particular series of resources, others say you need to study intensely for six months straight.

Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com 有些學生對特定的資源系列發誓，有些則說你需要密集讀六個月。

And still others say that almonds are the secret to improving your memory and critical thinking.

還有一些人說杏仁是改善記憶力和批判性思維的祕訣。

Just because Katy on TikTok scored a 525 and says essential oils and AG1 greens were her secrets, those techniques aren't necessarily going to work for you.

即使 TikTok 上的 Katy 考了 525 分，並說精油和 AG1 greens 是她的祕訣，那些技巧不一定對你有效。

Some high scorers get lucky, some are naturally gifted despite suboptimal study methods, and

有些高分者是幸運的，有些天生就很厲害，儘管學習方法不夠理想，而

some students get there by using study methods that reproducibly and reliably improve performance.

有些學生則是透過使用能可靠且穩定地提升表現的學習方法達成目標。

Let's remove luck or talent from the equation.

讓我們把運氣或天賦從這個方程式中移除。

Anyone with the drive and proper study plan can achieve an outstanding score on the mcat.

只要有動力和正確的讀書計畫，任何人都能在 MCAT 考出優異的成績。

The these are the top four MCAT study mistakes that will hinder your MCAT score.

這些是會阻礙你 MCAT 成績的四大 MCAT 讀書錯誤。

The first mistake that far too many pre meds make is not using evidence based learning principles.

太多醫學院預備生犯的第一個錯誤，就是沒有使用實證學習原則。

In most MCAT study circles, the traditional study strategies still reign supreme.

在大多數的 MCAT 讀書圈裡，傳統的讀書策略仍然佔據主導地位。

Start with a content review, textbook or series of videos, and

先從內容複習開始，可以是教科書或一系列的影片，然後

when it gets closer to test time, begin focusing on practice questions and practice tests.

接近考試時間時，開始專注於練習題和模擬測驗。

However, this conventional approach does not effectively incorporate key key evidence based tactics such as spaced repetition, active recall, desirable difficulties, and

然而，這種傳統方法並沒有有效地融入關鍵的實證策略，例如間隔重複、主動回憶、適度難度，以及

With the conventional approach, students quickly forget what they just read or watched, leading to frustration and stagnating scores.

採用傳統方法，學生很快就會忘記剛讀過或看過的東西，導致挫折和停滯的分數。

But there are far more effective ways to study and through our extensive experience working with students, we found that the quality of your studying is the most essential factor.

但有更有效率的讀書方法，透過我們與學生合作的豐富經驗，我們發現你的學習品質是最重要的因素。

That's right, it's even more important than the number of hours spent, your level of intelligence, or your test taking ability.

沒錯，這比你花費的時間、你的智力水準或你的應試能力都更重要。

And if you're confused, since some studies show the number of hours spent studying is the strongest predictor of MCAT score, comment below and we'll cover why that methodology and conclusion is flawed in a future MCAT video.

如果你感到困惑，因為有些研究顯示花費的讀書時間是預測 MCAT 成績最強的指標，請在下方留言，我們會在未來的 MCAT 影片中探討為何該方法論和結論有缺陷。

To elevate your MCAT score as quickly and effectively as possible, focus on evidence based learning principles backed by validated scientific studies.

為了盡可能快速有效地提升你的 MCAT 成績，請專注於有經過驗證的科學研究支持的實證學習原則。

Active learning and spaced repetition will help you reinforce and consolidate material, ensuring retention.

主動學習和間隔重複將有助於你強化和鞏固學習內容，確保記憶。

This is often where students say they've tried using spaced repetition and flashcards, but it's not for them.

這常常是學生說他們試過間隔重複和抽認卡，但卻不適合他們的時候。

However, we have repeatedly found that these initial feelings can be misleading.

然而，我們一再發現這些最初的感覺可能會誤導人。

This is one area of your life where your feelings shouldn't guide your strategy.

這是你生活中一個不應該讓感覺引導策略的領域。

Data on what actually works must be your North Star.

關於實際有效方法的數據必須是你的北極星。

If you're early on in your implementation of active learning, I can almost guarantee that you will prefer passive forms of studying.

如果你剛開始實施主動學習，我幾乎可以保證你會偏好被動的學習方式。

Active learning, on the other hand, is uncomfortable and feels like added work and effort, particularly when you're first starting out.

相對的，主動學習會讓人感到不舒服，而且感覺像是額外的工和努力，尤其是在你剛開始的時候。

Just like weight training in the gym, you have to push your boundaries to see meaningful growth.

就像在健身房做重量訓練一樣，你必須突破極限才能看到有意義的成長。

Keep in mind that you may dislike the tool more than the technique.

請記住，你可能會比不喜歡這種技巧，更不喜歡這個工具。

We've heard from dozens of students trying spaced repetition with Anki flashcards that despite their efforts, it never really clicked.

我們聽過許多學生嘗試用 Anki 閃卡進行間隔重複，但儘管他們努力了，卻從未真正上手。

These students, after using memm, wrote to us about how it feels like an entirely different way of studying despite similar core functionality of spaced repetition with active recall through flashcards.

這些學生在使用 memm 後寫信給我們，說雖然核心功能都是透過閃卡進行主動回憶的間隔重複，但感覺卻是一種完全不同的學習方式。

在 mem IO 瞭解更多，並使用代碼 MCATMISTAKES 可享八折優惠。說到閃卡，第二個預醫學生常犯的錯誤是使用次優的卡片。

Students repeat these two highly costly mistakes when it comes to flashcards.

學生在閃卡方面會一再重複這兩個代價高昂的錯誤。

One they create their own suboptimal flashcards and two they use other students suboptimal flashcards.

一是他們製作自己次優的閃卡，二是他們使用其他學生的次優閃卡。

The reality is that it's impossible for a student studying for the MCAT to create flashcards at the highest level of quality.

事實上，準備 MCAT 的學生不可能製作出最高品質的閃卡。

The best flashcards can only be created once you completely and deeply understand the material.

最好的閃卡只能在你完全深入理解教材後才能製作出來。

That includes not only a comprehensive understanding of the concept, but

這不僅包括對概念的全面理解，還包括

its relationship to associated concepts, the relative importance of the concept, and

它與相關概念的關聯性、概念的相對重要性，以及

most of all, the manner in which the concept is tested by the mcat.

最重要的是，MCAT 測試該概念的方式。

No individual can address all of these elements until they have studied extensively for the exam, completed the MCAT with a stellar score, and

在深入研究考試、以優異成績完成 MCAT 並

performed additional post test analysis through further study or tutoring.

透過進一步學習或輔導進行額外的考後分析之前，沒有人能處理所有這些要素。

This isn't to say there is zero value in creating your own cards.

這並不是說製作自己的卡片沒有任何價值。

Card creation is an active learning exercise that, when properly executed, deepens comprehension.

卡片製作是一種主動學習練習，如果執行得當，可以加深理解。

However, through hundreds of interviews with students, we have observed that the reality is rarely so straightforward.

不過，透過數百次與學生的訪談，我們觀察到實際情況很少如此直接。

An overwhelming majority of students struggle with card creation best practices which ultimately results in countless wasted hours.

絕大多數學生在製作卡片的最佳實務上會遇到困難，最終導致無數時間被浪費。

Remember that with spaced repetition, every poorly written or irrelevant to the MCAT card is reviewed multiple times, exponentially multiplying that wasted time.

請記住，透過間隔重複，每一張寫得不好或與 MCAT 無關的卡片都會被重複檢視多次，這會成倍地增加浪費的時間。

In these situations, compounding works against you.

在這些情況下，複利效應會對你不利。

This time could be better spent on higher impact activities that translate into higher scores such as practice questions, full length exams, or reviewing high quality flashcards.

這些時間可以更好地花在高影響力的活動上，進而提升分數，例如練習題、模擬測驗或複習高品質的自製卡片。

Even students who managed to overcome the flashcard learning curve could have more efficiently learned the material and in most cases achieved greater mastery through using high quality pre made cards from the start.

即使是那些成功克服了製作卡片學習曲線的學生，如果一開始就使用高品質的預製卡片，也能更有效率地學習材料，並在大多數情況下獲得更大的精熟度。

The most suboptimal and therefore least useful level of flashcards are the ones students make.

最不理想、是以最沒用的卡片是學生自己製作的。

These tend to include too much information and out of scope concepts.

這些卡片往往包含過多的資訊和超出範圍的概念。

And on top of that, the prompts don't precisely test the information you need to know.

而且，提示的內容並沒有精確地測試你需要知道的資訊。

Instead, they often unintentionally promote pattern recognition.

相反地，它們常常會無意中促進模式識別。

With countless hours of effort, you may finally be able to achieve quality flashcards, but

就算投入無數時間，你可能終於能做出高品質的學習卡片，但

I was still working on perfecting my flashcard making skills after five years of using ANKI throughout medical school and residency.

在醫學院和住院醫師訓練期間使用 ANKI 五年後，我還在努力完善我的學習卡片製作技巧。

With this amount of time, effort and understanding, the quality of your flashcards will dramatically improve and you'll be able to take better advantage of spaced repetition.

投入這麼多時間、精力並加以理解後，你的學習卡片品質將會大幅提升，你也能更好地利用間隔重複。

With active recall, you'll be consolidating semantic memories rather than using techniques that promote pattern recognition or result in suboptimal retention.

透過主動回憶，你將鞏固語意記憶，而不是使用促進模式識別或導致次優記憶的方法。

But you are still not at the highest level and even the best pre made MCAT Anki decks fall into this middle category as they were initially created by students still studying for the mcat.

但你仍然不是最高等級，即使是最好的預製 MCAT Anki 卡片也屬於這個中間等級，因為它們最初是由仍在準備 MCAT 的學生製作的。

The final and highest level is like a precise scalpel that surgically delineates the content and information you need to know.

最後也是最高等級，就像一把精準的手術刀，能精確劃分你需要知道的內容和資訊。

Discarding the rest, it pinpoints not only what information you need to know, but

捨棄其他部分，它不僅能精確指出你需要知道的資訊，

還能說明你的考試將如何測試這些資訊。

And by following flashcard best practices, this level accelerates content retention and mastery to a far greater degree than the more common options.

透過遵循學習卡片的最佳實務，這個等級能比更常見的選項，更大幅度地加速內容的記憶和精熟度。

The third mistake students make studying for the MCAT is not using enough practice questions.

學生準備 MCAT 時犯的第三個錯誤是練習題用得不夠。

The traditional MCAT study approach focuses too heavily on passively reading content.

傳統的 MCAT 學習方法過度側重於被動閱讀內容。

Most students are afraid to waste their practice materials too early and feel they should save them for later when they better understand the content.

大多數學生害怕太早用完練習材料，覺得應該留到之後對內容更熟悉時再用。

But this could not be further from the truth.

The in reality practice questions are key tools to understanding the content and they should be implemented from the very beginning.

事實上，練習題是理解內容的關鍵工具，應該從一開始就使用。

We know this works because this is how medical students study for usmle, the next standardized test you'll take after the mcat.

我們知道這很有效，因為這就是醫學院學生準備 USMLE 的方式，這是你考完 MCAT 後要考的下一個標準化測驗。

Practice questions are heavily utilized as a study resource, not just an assessment or practice tool.

練習題被大量用作學習資源，而不僅僅是評估或練習工具。

In the final weeks leading up to the exam, the scientific literature is clear.

在考前最後幾週，科學文獻已經很清楚了。

Testing is not only a way to assess knowledge, but also a highly effective tool to accelerate learning.

測驗不僅是評估知識的方式，也是加速學習的極有效工具。

At the beginning of your study period, you'll need to balance three separate domains.

在你學習初期，你需要平衡三個獨立的領域。

Number one content review focusing on comprehension number two spaced repetition with active recall focusing on memory consolidation and number three practice questions focusing on a mix of application, comprehension, and

第一是內容複習，著重理解；第二是間隔重複搭配主動回憶，著重記憶鞏固；第三是練習題，著重應用、理解和

As your study period progresses, spend less time on content review and more time on intermittent review for specific facts or concepts you need clarification on.

隨著你的學習時間推進，減少內容複習的時間，增加針對你需要釐清的特定事實或概念的間歇性複習。

This is more targeted and efficient than reviewing all of the content a second time.

這比第二次複習所有內容更具針對性和效率。

Do not expect yourself to be a master of the material.

不要期望自己能精通所有內容。

After studying content review resources simultaneously, gradually spend more time on flashcards and practice questions as these are two active learning methods that, particularly when combined, will most rapidly improve your scores.

在同時學習內容複習資源後，逐漸增加在單字卡和練習題上的時間，因為這兩種主動學習方法，特別是結合使用時，能最快地提升你的分數。

Some foundation level of comprehension is useful, but

remember that having this foundation is different than having everything down cold.

請記住，擁有這個基礎和完全掌握是兩回事。

Finally, the fourth mistake students make studying for the MCAT is using too many resources.

最後，學生準備 MCAT 時犯的第四個錯誤是使用過多的資源。

Some students think they need to use half a dozen different resources to get the best score possible, but

有些學生認為他們需要使用半打不同的資源才能獲得最好的分數，但

they are actually spreading themselves too thin.

Again, take a page from the strategy of medical students.

再次強調，可以參考醫學生的策略。

They only focus on the highest yield resources and wring them out for all they're worth rather than superficially going through multiple resources of varying quality.

他們只專注於最高產出的資源，並將其榨乾，而不是膚淺地瀏覽多種品質參差不齊的資源。

You're bound to hear conflicting strategies when it comes to MCAT advice.

關於 MCAT 的建議，你一定會聽到相互衝突的策略。

If you're seeking optimal performance on your mcat, look to scientific literature for evidence based study strategies and to experts who have not only achieved top scores themselves, but

如果你追求在 MCAT 上取得最佳表現，請參考科學文獻中的實證學習原則，以及那些不僅自己獲得高分，

MEM evolves spaced repetition combined with active recall to something much greater and purpose built interactive review sheets with closed deletions, sheet excerpts on the back of cards to overcome the limitations of traditional flashcards leading to isolated facts without contextual understanding and top tier flashcard quality and scope are just some of the benefits.

MEM 將間隔重複與主動回憶結合，昇華為更強大、專為互動式複習單設計的工具，透過閉鎖刪除、單張卡片背面節錄來克服傳統單字卡僅能記憶孤立事實而缺乏情境理解的限制，以及頂級的單字卡品質與廣度，這些都只是部分優勢。

Our students consistently report substantial score improvements by heavily relying on MEM for content review and spaced repetition with with an average user score of 513.4.

我們的學生透過大量依賴 MEM 進行內容複習和間隔重複，持續回報分數有顯著進步，平均使用者分數為 513.4。

If you're a pre med looking to rapidly accelerate your MCAT knowledge and memorization, the answer is clear.

如果你是醫學院預備生，想快速加速你的 MCAT 知識和記憶，答案很明確。

沒有任何工具能與 mem 相提並論。
