I'm having issues with getting all the assigned Kaplan course done while working full time and trying to study for this MCAT coming up in less than a month and I guess I'm freaking out somewhat. date is 7/2.

I was originally scheduled for a 4/18 start date of Kaplan and it was going to run through 6/30 so a little stretched out... instead that class was cancelled and I started in 5/14-6/30 so VERY condensed. with work I'm finding it hard enough just keeping up with doing the homework reading before class.

Question: is it better to do the reading insted of the quizzes /workshops online? I don't see how i can get it all done? will try during the weekend to catch up but we have class on sunday and homework due then even hahahaha it seems almost impossible !

I was in the same boat as you last year. I was working full-time and on top of that I had an evening job 3 times a week and I had kaplan course 2 nights a week. You had to become creative in terms of study-ing. Like try studying during your lunch break at work for instance. Or on the bus/train if you commute. Also I did all of the "required" and "highly recommended" stuff on the syllabus... so I did the readings obviously, the quizes at the end and the work-shops and quizes and the recommended practice passages or tests as I think they're called. I only did 5 FLs though (cause that's all I had time to do) and I kinda regretted not doing more. So if you're saying you have a month left and you're not quite done with content yet, then I would recommend maybe delaying your test date if you feel you need more time... It is your call!

Good luck:)
