If you modified this schedule due to other obligations, please tell us how. Thanks!
I'm in grad school full time, so I essentially split every day in half and am doing it over 6 months instead of 3. I also don't do the EK 1001 questions because I don't think they're helpful, and I don't plan on doing the hat trick. I also adjusted break days for when they work for me and my exam schedule in school and other commitments. So far it's taken about 2 hours a day, 5 days a week and isn't overwhelming. If you have more hours a week you can dedicate to studying, then you could definitely squeeze it down to less than 6 months.
I was originally planning on late May, but now I'm thinking the June date. I don't consider a July application/verification to be late and I could use the extra time. When are you thinking of taking it?
Eek, that is scary. I'd shoot for a July date if you can manage it. Could you start studying now?
Right. But an August MCAT and a September application isn't a good idea.
Mmh, before you worry about late verification, remember that you can submit your app without scores for verification. I submitted mine in early June about a month before my scores were released so it would be verified quickly. The scores are auto-attached to your app and sent to schools asap on release. That would mean a July test date = app complete by August score release if you submitted your app without scores. You can also submit it to only one school (i.e. a safety) when you submit your app so it can be verified, wait for your scores to come out, then submit to more schools immediately after score release. That way, if your score is lower than you want, you can readjust your schools list.
