I have been a lurker of the MCAT discussion board for about 8-9 months now. Finally, my time to post. I have seen a couple of these posts recently so I apologize for the redundancy.
I am in the last push for the end of March MCAT.
I am studying on my own. Following SN2d's schedule more or less.
I started at the end of November.
I want to preface I am doing a lot of things besides the MCAT (against everyone's suggestion)--however I am managing to dedicate around 30 hours a week to studying (including FLs).
AAMC #3 -- 25 PS8/VR11/BS6
Hit the biology very hard between these two. Watched countless Khan videos and practice problems.
AAMC #4---25 PS6/VR10/BS9
Still focused on Bio and some stoichiometry issues.
AAMC #5--27 PS7/VR11/BS9
Its obvious I need to focus on physical sciences.
I guess the reason for my post is two fold:
1) Because I am not taking a class and I am not talking with others about the test I am afraid I am psyching myself out. I know I am showing improvement I just don't know if it is enough? Am I trending?
2) Should I stray from SN2s schedule and just focus on my weak spots? going through the last 1/3rd for each chapter is very time consuming.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions/thoughts/insight/encouragement.
Positive thoughts to all of you who are also studying right now!
Last note: I am shooting for a 30.
