Midterm the day before the MCAT...

[Jumb0]

So I am taking classes this semester as part of my ongoing DIY post-bacc, and I just realized I have a Biochemistry exam the day before the MCAT! It's not going to be a hard exam or anything, but it's just really annoying. I would have liked to have the days leading up to the MCAT dedicated to a final , comprehensive content review, but now I have to study biochemistry. Luckily, it's fairly well-related to the MCAT topics.

Anyone else experience this before? Any suggestions?

Is there any way you can speak to your professor and take your midterm maybe 1-2 days in advance?

I probably could, but would it even be worth it is what I am wondering. I will get out of the midterm at 1 PM anyway, so I have most of the day to put the finishing touches on my MCAT review. Plus, my MCAT is scheduled for the afternoon the next day, so I can study the morning of the exam if I want to.

Basically, my question is, How big of a deal is this really? SHOULD I try to reschedule the exam?

Personally, I would reschedule my exam. Even if it's not going to be a very difficult one, I would rather not have that looming over my head a day before the MCAT.

I agree with this, it's not a big enough of a deal to freak out if you can't, but it is a big enough of a deal to not preferably not deal with it by getting it out of the way earlier.
