Ep. 93 – Mastering the MCAT with Our Coach, Josh Kapur

Mastering the MCAT with Our Coach, Josh Kapur

I’m joined by one of our wonderful MCAT Coaches in Mastering Test Prep, Josh Kapur! Josh is a fourth year student in the Kinesiology program at the University of Toronto, and we are so happy to announce that he has been admitted to his first choice medical school program! He has been actively involved in so many Apply Yourself initiatives and we’re so grateful for all of his work. We get to know Josh in this episode and learn more about his journey and what led him here to Apply Yourself. 

Nurturing Yourself and your Strategy While Studying for the MCAT

Studying for the MCAT is a high-stress and often isolating experience. It’s so important to take care of yourself and focus on strategies that work best for you. Tune in this episode to learn more about: 

  • Insights into the medical school application process;
  • The ways we bring our clients the most up-to-date resources and strategies that suit their individual learning styles through the unique delivery of expertise by each of our Coaches; 
  • Josh’s experience writing the MCAT and the strategies he used that best suited his own learning style, such as spaced repetition, and the ways he simulated the uncertainties of test day by studying in different environments;
  • The importance of focusing on yourself and your strategy, not on the competition, especially during high-stress times like studying for the MCAT or any standardized test – You’re writing the test by yourself, for yourself, so it’s imperative to not let other people’s opinions and comparisons impact the way you study; 
  • Apply Yourself’s holistic approach to coaching where we focus on the personal outside of the test, not just the test, because the personal and the professional are one in the same. We need to nurture both throughout our advancement; 
  • The student groups Apply Yourself sponsors across the country and internationally, such as the MCAT Prep Club at UofT, which Josh is a part of! 
  • Our Mastering Test Prep program and the ways our Coaches strive to provide our clients the best standardized test strategies – In MTP, you have the option to choose your own Coach and build a working relationship with them so they can really get to know you as a person and your learning style.
