EK Home Study People and Pre-reading Lectures

[DrBowtie]

Did you actually do pre-reading every Mon.?
Did you think it actually helped?
Would it hurt to replace Mon. (the prereading day) with Organic lecture?

I pre-read, but I also read my textbook before going to lectures at school. I need to at least have an idea about what is going to be covered before I do anything indepthly like it.

Are you talking about the EK's suggested 10 week study plan?

Yes.

Did not preread. I read straight through.

How many times do you plan to go through the whole series?

I wonder what percentage of EK users used the 10 week plan or tried to stick close to it...

2. The second I might skip sections though.

Are you studying for the MCAT at this very moment?

Nope...Although it is my start date, I'll prolly do it in the afternoon.

I wish there was an option in between these two choices. I'd say so far pre-reading only helps in getting you to think about the material before you head into lecture. I'll likely pre-read the lectures AND throw in organic lecture, since I'm not going to be doing any verbal studying (or prereading) other than the practice tests.

I read a chapter and take notes (helps me remember, may not work for everyone), and then I stick to doing 50 questions a night (takes about an hour). Sometimes I also make/use flshcards. I only re-read when something is not concrete. Eventually, I'll start to add in full-length exams. it seemed silly to do them too early, b/c what have a I learned at that point?
