It is advised to study a wide range of medical information and clinical abilities in order to get ready for the AMC CAT exam. Reviewing medical texts, taking review classes, and exercising with practise tests can all be helpful. It’s also a good idea to become familiar with the layout and structure of the exam to get a better idea of what to expect and when.
