MDCAT Vocabulary Preparation

Write down all the vocabulary words.

Each year, an extensive list of English vocabulary is provided by PMC to the MDCAT students to memorize along with their synonyms and antonyms. And what almost all of the students do is that they print out that list. That is your first mistake in your vocab prep for MDCAT English.

You cannot memorize hundreds of words written blandly in black and white. But if you write all the words by hand in a separate notebook, it can help you a lot. Use different colored markers to write down words and their synonyms as well as antonyms.

It is because your brain will have an imprint of what you are writing, and that’s exactly what you need in your first round of English vocab prep; an imprint of almost all the words in your brain that you write somewhere.

Practice vocabulary words and English in daily sentences.

This is the best way to prepare for your MDCAT English. Whenever you learn and memorize new vocab words and their synonyms, try to use them in your daily conversation. It will leave an imprint in your brain which will help you during your exam.
