How to prepare MDCAT English.

  • Learn the rules PM&DC lists: pronoun-antecedent agreement, tenses, infinitives and gerunds, adverb position, prepositions, transitional devices, punctuation, voice and narration.
  • Read the whole sentence before choosing. Many MCQs hinge on one word after the blank (an adjective needs “is”, a noun can take “has”).
  • Keep a notebook of confusing pairs: affect and effect, their and there, later and latter, lately and late.
  • Practise past-paper English in short daily sets; ten minutes a day is enough to keep it sharp.

My experience with Eprepare was exceptional, and im more than satisfied. Eprepare helped me immensely in understanding concepts more clearly, especially Physics, which was my weakest subject. The Bookline MCQs were invaluable in strengthening my concepts and making sure I understood everything I needed to know. All the other features, such as the Koshash Series, Quick Revision MCQs, My Wrong MCQs, and many more, were incredibly useful for effective preparation. On top of that, there are past-year papers, lecture videos, notes, FLPs, and so much more. It genuinely feels like a treasure trove for every MDCAT student, where you can find practically EVERYTHING you need for preparation, all in one place.10/10 highly recommended to all future MDCAT aspirants! ❤️
