Post-FL review writeup: How do you actually fix strategy mistakes (not content) on the MCAT?

I’ve been reviewing my practice exams and I’m noticing most of my mistakes aren’t content—they’re approach/strategy errors (misreading question stems, not mapping data, jumping to answers, etc.).

I’ve been writing these takeaways down after each review, but now I have a huge list and tried putting them into Anki… and it’s just not working. They don’t stick or translate when I’m actually taking the test.

For people who improved their score significantly:

How did you actually apply non-content review takeaways during practice/tests?

I feel like I understand my mistakes when reviewing, but I’m not fixing them in real time.

Any advice on how to bridge that gap would be really appreciated.
