Studying for the MCAT with Brainback

A workflow that has taken students from 495 to 517.

Test prep8 min

The MCAT rewards reasoning, not memorization. Brainback's workflow is built for that.

Set your subjects to organic-chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, physics, and chemistry. This ensures Brainback treats MCAT-adjacent problems as academic and routes them to Learn mode.

Take a diagnostic practice test to identify your weakest content categories. Add those concepts to your Explain-back rotation — one concept a week, minimum.

For every practice problem you get wrong, submit it as a Brainback attempt. The tutor will diagnose, hint if you need, and generate a recall card automatically. In four months you'll have a personalized recall deck that reflects your actual gaps.

Weekly: check your Brain score. Subject-decomposed. The subject with the lowest score is your study allocation for the next week.

Daily: run your recall queue. Ten minutes. Don't skip.
