Hey everyone. I take the MCAT tomorrow at 1pm and was wondering what everyone did to prepare for this test? I didn't want to procrastinate too much so I was gonna start early this afternoon. Thanks! Best of luck to everyone tomorrow!

Sorry. Is the question (1) that you haven't prepared until now and that you're sitting for the exam tomorrow or (2) that you have been studying for weeks/months and will be sitting for the exam tomorrow?

Hopefuly you mean option (2). I recommend that you don't study the day before. It helped me calm down a bit.

If it's (1), then the OP has to be a troll.

I also have a friend who got a 41 after two weeks of studying after graduation last year. They did not take any upper level courses and claimed to have studied with exam krackers. I was skeptical of his claim. I think when those people say two weeks they really mean two months...even if you're a god at reasoning there's just too much background info and subtleties with formulas that can't be picked up in two weeks. Look at @gettheleadout s post on 30+ thread and you'll see what I mean...he killed the MCAT but at least takes claim in the amount of work he had to do to achieve his score. I will repsect those types of people any day over people who "magically" claimed to have gotten a 40+ score in < 18 days. I have another friend who got a 42, but rightfully claims that he studied 11 months for the exam (weirdly enough also has a near perfect 4.0 gpa in engineering/biophysics and isn't even going to med school lol).

If one can really can achieve a 40+ with minimal prep in 2 weeks hats off to them, but then I'd argue there was a huge amount of luck involved and/or they're full of it and it took longer than just the 2 weeks they had originally claimed.
